PLeAse Note: No returNs oN useD GriLLs
Read all safety warnings and instructions carefully before assembling and operating
your grill.
Note:
Grill interiors are not painted, rather coated with vegetable oil. DO
NOT remove this coating.
Cure both grills prior to cooking to protect interior and exterior finishes and prevent adding
unnatural flavors to your food:
1. Lightly coat ALL INTERIOR SURFACES (including INSIDE OF BARREL, AND COOKING
GRATES) with additional vegetable oil (spray vegetable oil is easiest but KEEP AWAY FROM
HOT COALS, FIRE OR FLAME).
2. Build a medium sized fire on the fire grate. Stack 2 lbs of charcoal (approximately 30
briquettes) in a pyramid and saturate with lighter fluid. DO NOT use gasoline. Light coals
in several places. When charcoals ash over or turn gray, spread out from pyramid into flat
single layer. Close CHARCOAL GRILL HOOD. ALWAYS follow charcoal and lighter fluid
manufacturers’ instructions and warnings.
3. Maintain 250°F temperature on grill for two (2) hours. Control heat with DUAL DAMPERS and
ADJUSTABLE FIRE GRATE. Adjust GRATE one end at a time. More airflow means more heat.
4. NEVER EXCEED 450°F (230°C) AS THIS WILL DAMAGE THE FINISH AND CONTRIBUTE
TO RUST. PAINT IS NOT WARRANTED AND WILL REQUIRE OCCASIONAL TOUCH-UPS.
THIS UNIT IS NOT WARRANTED AGAINST RUST.
• For fewer flare-ups, cook with lid in the down position.
• Add water-soaked wood chips to CHARCOAL GRILL for smoky flavor. (See Recipes section)
• Ashes left in bottom of CHARCOAL GRILL for too long hold moisture and may cause rust if not cleaned
out.
• GRILL is made of steel and cast iron, which WILL rust, especially without proper care.
• Do not use self-starting charcoal, as it gives off an unnatural flavor. Burn lighter fluid off completely
before cooking.
• After use, coat bare metal with vegetable oil to reduce rust. Remove EXTERIOR rust with wire brush
and touch up with high heat paint, available at most hardware/auto stores.
• Make sure to empty GREASE TRAY after every use once completely cooled.
• HEAT GAUGES maintain moisture, which will result in steam during cooking.
• Fill unwanted holes with extra nuts and bolts (not provided). Note: Smoke will escape from other areas
than smokestacks. This will not affect cooking.
• Grill must be installed on stable, flat surface.
• It is recommended that CHARCOAL GRILL be heated up and fuel kept red hot for at least 30 minutes
prior to first time cooking. Do not cook before briquettes have turned gray with ash.
• WARNING! Accessible parts may be very hot. Use outdoors only.
• WARNING! Do not use spirit or petrol when lighting or relighting.
• WARNING! Keep children and pets away from appliance.
