WARNING
Place the grill outdoors on a hard, level, non-combustible surface away from roof overhang or any combustible
material. Never use on wooden or other surfaces that could burn. Place the grill away from open windows or doors
to prevent smoke from entering your house. In windy weather, place the grill in an outdoor area that is protected
from the wind.
WARNING
Read all safety warnings and instructions carefully before operating your grill.
PREPARATION FOR USE & LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
Curing your grill
Prior to your first use of the Grill, follow the instructions below carefully to cure your grill. Curing your grill will
minimize damage to the exterior finish as well as get rid of the grill paint odor that can cause unnatural flavors to the
first meal prepared on the grill.
IMPORTANT:
To protect your grill from excessive rust, the unit must be properly cured and covered at all
times when not in use.
Step 1
Lightly coat all interior surfaces of the grill with vegetable oil or vegetable oil spray. Do not coat charcoal grates or
racks.
Step 2
Follow the instructions below carefully to build a fire. You many use charcoal and/or wood as fuel in the grill (see
“Adding Charcoal/Wood During Cooking” section of this manual).
If using a Charcoal Chimney Starter, follow all manufacturer
’s warnings and instructions regarding the use of their
product. Start with 6 pounds (2.72 kg) of charcoal.
Instruction for reference only:
1.
Begin with three full sheets of newspaper.
2.
Take 2 sheets of newspaper and roll each into a tube shape and then give them a little twist to form each of
them into a straight “rope” like shape. Be careful to not twist too tight.
3.
Turn the charcoal chimney starter over and place both pieces of rolled and twisted newspaper along the inside
bottom of the charcoal chimney starter to form a complete circle. Leave a hole in the middle of the charcoal
chimney starter with no paper in it.
4.
Crumple up the 3rd sheet of newspaper into a ball. Be careful to not crumple too tight. Sprinkle about 1 table
spoon of cooking oil on the ball of newspaper. You can also use a few sprits of cooking oil from a spray can.
Don’t use too much oil. Place the ball of cooking-oiled newspaper in the center of the charcoal chimney starter.
5.
Flip the chimney over and add charcoal. Take care so that the newspaper does not fall out.
6.
Use a match or long lighter to light the paper.
7.
Stand back and watch the charcoal chimney starter do its stuff.
8.
After charcoal has turned an ash gray color, carefully pour the charcoal onto your grill’s fire grate.
NOTE: To extend the life of your grill, make sure that hot coals and wood do not touch the walls of grill.
