READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
BEFORE OPERATING YOUR GRILL.
Prior to your first use of the Brinkmann Portable Charcoal Grill, follow the instructions below carefully to cure
your grill. Curing your grill will rid the grill of paint odor that can impart unnatural flavors to the first meal
prepared on your Brinkmann Charcoal Grill.
1.
Lightly coat all interior surfaces of the grill including cooking grills with vegetable oil or vegetable oil
spray. Do not coat charcoal grate.
2.
Follow the instructions below carefully to build a fire in the cooking chamber. You may use
charcoal and/or wood as fuel in the grill (see “Adding Charcoal/Wood During Cooking” on page 6
of this manual).
Note:
We recommend using charcoal that has been pre-treated with lighter fluid or a charcoal chimney
starter.
WARNING:
DO NOT store lighter fluid or other flammable liquids in or around your grill.
If using a Charcoal Chimney Starter, follow all manufacturer’s warnings and instructions regarding the use of
their product. Start with 2 - 2
2
pounds (0.9 kg. - 1.13 kg.) of charcoal in chimney starter. This should be
enough charcoal to cook with, once the curing process has been completed.
3.
With grill lid open, stand back and carefully light charcoal chimney starter and allow to burn until covered
with a light ash (approximately 20 minutes). When charcoal is burning strong, carefully place hot coals in
center of charcoal grate.
Note:
To extend the life of your grill, make sure that hot coals and wood do not touch the walls of grill.
