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 impart
unnatural flavours 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 may 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 1.6 kg (3.5 lbs) 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 third 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 ha
s 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.
IF USING CHARCOAL CHIMNEY STARTER, PROCEED TO STEP 5.
If you choose to use charcoal lighter fluid, ONLY use a product 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 1.6kg (3.5lbs) of
charcoal. Place the charcoal in the center of each charcoal grate.
Step 3
Saturate charcoal with lighter fluid. With lid open, wait 2 to 3 minutes to allow lighter fluid to soak into
charcoal.
Store lighter fluid a safe distance from the grill.
Step 4
With grill lid open and charcoal grate completely placed inside the grill, stand back and carefully light
charcoal. Allow to burn until covered with a light ash (approximately 20 minutes).
