Step 1
Lightly coat all interior surfaces of the Grill King including cooking grill
with vegetable oil or vegetable oil spray. Do not coat charcoal grate or
charcoal tray.
Step 2
Follow the instructions below carefully to build a fire. You may use
charcoal and/or wood as fuel in the Grill King (see “Adding
Charcoal/Wood During Cooking” section of this manual).
WARNING:
Never use charcoal that has been pre-treated with lighter
fluid. Use only a high grade plain charcoal or charcoal/wood
mixture.
If using a Charcoal Chimney Starter, follow all manufacturer’s warnings
and instructions regarding the use of their product. Start with 8 to 10
pounds of charcoal for Grill King Deluxe (3 to 4 pounds for Grill King).
This should be enough charcoal to cook with, once the curing process
has been completed. Open the side air vents halfway. When charcoal is
burning strong, carefully place hot coals in center of charcoal grate.
WARNING:
Keep hot coals away from side air vent to prevent coals from
falling out.
NOTE:
To extend the life of your grill, make sure that hot coals and
wood do not touch the walls of grill or lay inside of cooking
chamber under charcoal tray.
IF USING CHARCOAL CHIMNEY STARTER, PROCEED TO STEP 5
If you choose to use charcoal lighting fluid, ONLY use charcoal lighting
fluid approved for lighting charcoal. Do not use gasoline, kerosene,
alcohol or other flammable material for lighting charcoal. Follow all
manufacturer’s warnings and instructions regarding the use of their
product. Start with 8 to 10 pounds of charcoal for Grill King Deluxe
(3 to 4 pounds for Grill King). This should be enough charcoal to cook
with, once the curing process has been completed. Place the charcoal
in center of charcoal grate.
Step 3
Saturate charcoal with lighting fluid. With lid open wait 2 to 3 minutes
to allow lighting fluid to soak into charcoal. Store charcoal lighting fluid
safely away from the grill.
Step 4
Open the side air vents approximately half way. With grill lid open,
stand back and carefully light charcoal and allow to burn until covered
with a light ash (approximately 20 minutes).
WARNING:
Charcoal lighting fluid must be allowed to completely burn off
prior to closing grill lid (approximately 20 minutes). Failure to
do this could trap fumes from charcoal lighting fluid in grill
and may result in a
flash-fire or explosion when lid is opened.
