1. Pour the desired amount (3-6 lbs.) of charcoal onto the
charcoal pan(s).
2. Keep all charcoal inside the pans. Do not allow charcoal to
come in contact with the sides. Pick up any loose charcoal that
falls onto the ash pan.
3. Adjust all vents to full open and keep the lid open.
4. Light charcoal according to the charcoal manufacturer
instructions.
5. After the flames have disappeared from the charcoal, close
the lid, keep all vents full open.
6. After about 10-15 minutes, check the charcoal to see that it
has ashed over (turned gray) and the initial starter odors are
gone.
7. Adjust the charcoal or spread the charcoal evenly across the
charcoal pan(s) if necessary.
The adjustable charcoal pans can be moved to within a
few inches of the cooking grate allowing you to sear the
meat and lock in the juices. Searing takes only a few
minutes on each side. Don't allow the meat or food to
burn. After searing, crank the charcoal pans back down
from the top and cook the food to your personal
preference.
OPTIONAL: If preferred, small wood chunks can be added to
the charcoal at this time for flavor and smoke. Crank the
charcoal pans to the lowest position away from the cooking
grates. Carefully open the access door(s) and carefully add
small wood chunks on top of the charcoal. The smoke will be
heavy at first and after a short while will burn with less smoke.
The temperature will spike when the wood is first added. As a
general rule, you will need to add more wood or charcoal when
the temperature drops below 250 degrees. Do not use more
than 2 or 3 wood chunks at a time. DO NOT ALLOW THE
WOOD CHUNKS TO TOUCH OR COME IN CONTACT WITH ANY
SIDE PANEL. Keep wood chunks inside the charcoal pans.
8. The optimum cooking temperature is 300~350 degrees. The
vents may need to be adjusted more open or more closed for
the desired temperature. The type charcoal and the climate
conditions can affect the grill temperature.
9. Carefully wipe the cooking grate surfaces with vegetable oil
to keep the food from sticking.
10. Add meat and food as desired to the cooking grates. Cook
food to your personal preference.
11. Add charcoal or wood as needed through the access doors.
Tip
This grill becomes very hot and possibly the handles. Use caution working
around the grill. Use mittens or oven gloves when opening the lid, access doors,
ash tray or adjusting the vents during use.
