Fueling the Grill
Professional Series Grill Installation and Operation Manual
It is necessary to develop a consistent and simple fuel, fire and temperature management plan for cooking
on your wood-fired grill. This plan should be based on the most appropriate grill temperatures for your prod-
ucts. We have outlined the basic steps below to begin operating your grill. Keep in mind that with the terms
wood-fired and solid-fuel, we are talking about not only wood, but also lump charcoal. We've found that lump
charcoal provides excellent results and is easy to use, either by itself or in combination with one of the
recommended hardwoods.

TO BEGIN
1.
Pull the grate rack forward, and remove
the center grill grates by using the Grate
Tool. Stack grates on the remaining side
grates until the fire has been established
to keep the grates out of the intense
start up fire heat, and to create working
space.
2.
Using the Ash Shovel, remove about 2/3rds of the fly ash. Move ash and any
live coals along the back-center of the fire box. The coals and ash will help
start the new fire faster.
LUMP CHARCOAL AND WOOD FIRE
4.
Stack 3 or 4 small pieces of wood in a conical tepee shape on top of any live
coals towards the back of the fire box. Ignite a fire starter and place it under the
wood
.
LUMP CHARCOAL ONLY FIRE
3.
Stack recommended quantity of charcoal (see table above) on top of any live
coals and ash toward the back of the firebox. Ignite a fire starter and place it
under the charcoal. After 1 hour, add charcoal as necessary to maintain the coal
bed depth.
5.
As the wood fire gets going, add lump charcoal in front of the fire—do not
extinguish the flame. The lump charcoal will help to quickly establish a good
working coal bed. The wood is primarily for theater, and will not be the primary
source of live coals.

The well maintained firebox (side view)
The coal bed should be about 3" deep in the back and 1-1/2"
in the front. A 5–10" open flame (as measured from the top
of coal bed) will maintain this coal depth,
producing the temperature regions shown below.
