OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
lighting the Charcoal Grill
This grill has an adjustable charcoal tray. By turning the crank handle, the charcoal tray can be
raised or lowered to desired height. This allows for different heat settings depending on the food you
are cooking and the temperature you want to cook at. It also allows easy cleaning of the interior of
the firebox after the unit has cooled down completely. It is not recommended to raise a fully loaded
charcoal tray higher than the middle height setting.
NOTE: The grate is coated with porcelain which is a fragile coating. Handle with care to avoid
damage. Do not cool the grate in cold water while it is still hot or the coating may crack. Let the grate
cool off by itself.
Burning charcoal inside can kill you. It gives off carbon monoxide, which has no odor. NEVER burn
charcoal inside homes, vehicles, or tents.

10. T he air vent on the charcoal access door should be kept open during cooking to allow air flow.
You can begin cooking when briquettes have a light coating of grey ash (approx. 25-30 minutes).
Adjusting Temperature
For maximum heat/temperature, open the air vent on the charcoal access door, as well as the smoke
stack as required. To reduce the heat/temperature, close the air vents on the charcoal access door or
smoke stack as required
NOTE: The temperature should not go above 500ºF (260°C). If the temperature goes above 500ºF
(260°C), you should reduce the quantity of briquettes that you have placed in the charcoal tray. The
proper cooking temperature should not exceed 500ºF (260°C). Remember to reduce the amount of
charcoal next time the grill is used. No more than 3 lbs. (1.36 kgs), or approximately 45 briquettes,
should be used.
