Seasoning and Preparing the Grill

IMPORTANT! BEFORE YOU USE YOUR GRILL FOR THE FIRST TIME

YOU MUST SEASON THE CAST IRON COOKING GRATE(S).

Cure grill prior to your initial use to protect the interior and exterior finish, cooking grates, and to prevent

unnatural flavors to your first meals.
1. Lightly coat ALL INTERIOR SURFACES (including grills, grates, and inside of barrel.) with vegetable

oil (spray vegetable oil is easiest but do not use near hot coals or fire).

2. Build a medium sized fire on the

fire grate

. Always put charcoal on top of the fire grate and not

directly into the bottom of the grill.

3. After coals ash over, spread out coals, replace cooking grates, close lid and heat at approximately

250 F for two hours.

4. Remove grates from the grill with oven mitts, allow to cool, then re-coat grates and return to grill at

approximately 200

°

F for two hours.

5. You can lightly coat the exterior of the grill body (while warm) with vegetable oil. This will extend the

life of the finish, much like waxing a car. Your grill is now ready for use.

NOTE: Grill will drip oil during this process and for several uses afterwards.

This is normal.

NEVER EXCEED 400°F BECAUSE THIS WILL DAMAGE THE FINISH AND CONTRIBUTE

TO RUST. PAINT IS NOT WARRANTED AND WILL REQUIRE TOUCH-UP. THIS UNIT IS NOT

WARRANTED AGAINST RUST.
