W A R N I N G
• Always open lid BEFORE opening the charcoal access
door to check fire or fuel.
• Always open the ash door slowly. Never attempt to
look inside the grill while opening the charcoal door
when the grill is in use.
• Failure to follow these instructions could result in injury.

the lid is not opened first.
C A U T I O N
• Some parts may contain sharp edges! Wear protective
gloves if necessary.
• Most surfaces on this unit are hot when in use. Use
extreme caution. Do not touch metal parts of the grill
until it has completely cooled to avoid burns, unless
you are wearing protective gloves.
• THIS UNIT IS HEAVY! DO NOT attempt to assemble
without a helper.
Operation and Lighting Procedure
• The grill is designed for use with charcoal bri-
quettes or lump charcoal. Do not exceed 2 lbs (0,9
kg) of charcoal.
• Set up or place grill in a safe location.
• The grill shall be heated up and the fuel kept red
hot for at least 30 minutes prior to the first cook-
ing.
• Prior to cooking with your grill the first time:
1. Brush all interior surfaces, including grills
and grates, with vegetable oil.
2. Build a small fire in the charcoal pan.
3. Close lid after flames subside, position
dampers at approximately ¼ turn open. This
burn should be sustained for at least 30 min-
utes.
• Place charcoal into a pyramid-shaped pile in the
center of the charcoal pan.
• Light charcoal. Always light the fire with the lid
open. Keep lid open for as long as the charcoal
burns with flames.
• Never add charcoal lighter fluid to hot or warm
coals as flashbacks may occur causing injury.
• After charcoal appears to have a coating of ash
and flames have subsided (12-15 minutes), spread
coals evenly across charcoal pan. Replace cook-
ing grids and close lid to pre-heat the cooking sur-
face.
• Do not cook before the fuel has a coating of ash.
MAINTENANCE
• Rust can appear on the inside of your grill. Maintain-
ing a light coat of vegetable oil on the interior surfaces
will aid in the protection of your grill.Exterior surfaces
of the grill may need occasional touch up. We recom-
mend the use of commercially available black high
temperature spray paint. NEVER PAINT THE INTE-
RIOR OF THE GRILL!
• Frequency of clean up is determined by how often the
grill is used.
• Make sure coals are completely extinguished before
cleaning inside of the unit. Thoroughly rinse with water
and allow to air dry before using again. Wipe out the
interior of the unit with a cloth or paper towels. When
finished cooking, and the unit has adequately cooled,
clean out all remaining ashes. Ashes collect moisture,
which can lead to premature rusting and decay.
• If a bristle brush is used to clean any of the cooking
surfaces, ensure no loose bristles remain on cooking
surfaces prior to grilling. It is not recommended to
clean cooking surfaces while grill is hot.
