This document is an owner's manual and safety instructions for the Barton Grill Steam BBQ, Item: 99936.

Function Description:

The Barton Grill Steam BBQ (Item: 99936) is a versatile outdoor cooking appliance designed for grilling and steaming. Its multi-layered structure allows for different cooking methods simultaneously or independently. The unit is primarily fueled by charcoal, with a dedicated charcoal pan and grate. The design incorporates a water pan, suggesting its capability for steaming or adding moisture during grilling, which can enhance food flavor and tenderness. The presence of a dome lid with a thermometer indicates its suitability for roasting and smoking, allowing for temperature monitoring and control. The grill features multiple cooking grids, enabling the preparation of various food items at once. Its modular design, with upper and lower layer bodies, suggests flexibility in configuration, potentially allowing it to be used as a smaller grill or a full-sized multi-tier unit. Doors on both the upper and lower layers provide access for managing charcoal, water, or food without fully removing the main lid, which helps in maintaining internal temperature. Air vents are included for regulating airflow, crucial for controlling the burning rate of charcoal and thus the cooking temperature. The overall structure is supported by sturdy legs, ensuring stability during use.

Important Technical Specifications:

While specific technical specifications like dimensions, weight, or material composition are not explicitly detailed in the provided pages, the assembly diagram and parts list offer insights into its construction. The grill utilizes various bolts and nuts for assembly, including M5x12, M4x12, M3x8, M6, M5, M4, and M3, indicating a robust, bolted-together construction. Key components include a lower layer body (A), upper layer body (B), dome lid (C), charcoal pan and water pan (D), chrome cooking grills (E), charcoal grate (F), legs (G), doors (H), air vent (I), handles (J), support brackets (K), iron supports (L), S hooks (T), and a thermometer (V). The use of chrome cooking grills suggests durability and ease of cleaning. The presence of a thermometer is a crucial feature for temperature control, particularly for roasting and smoking. The modular design with distinct upper and lower layer bodies implies a stackable configuration.

Usage Features:

The Barton Grill Steam BBQ is designed for ease of use and versatility in outdoor cooking.

Multi-functional Cooking: It supports grilling, steaming, and potentially roasting/smoking due to its multi-layer design, charcoal fuel, water pan, and dome lid with a thermometer.
Temperature Control: The air vent (I) allows users to regulate airflow to the charcoal, thereby controlling the internal temperature. The integrated thermometer (V) on the dome lid provides real-time temperature monitoring, essential for precise cooking.
Easy Access: Doors (H) on both the upper and lower layer bodies facilitate easy access to the charcoal, water pan, or food without lifting the entire lid, minimizing heat loss.
Modular Design: The separate upper and lower layer bodies (A and B) suggest that the grill can be configured for different cooking needs, possibly allowing for a smaller setup when less capacity is required.
Portability (Implied): While not explicitly stated, the presence of handles (J) on the upper layer body suggests some degree of portability or ease of moving the unit when cool.
Safety Features: The manual emphasizes critical safety warnings, including the use of heat-resistant gloves, long-handled tongs, or barbecue mitts due to hot surfaces. It also warns against operating the grill unattended, allowing children or animals near it, and moving it while hot. Proper assembly and handling precautions are highlighted to prevent cuts, pinching, or other bodily injuries.

Maintenance Features:

The manual provides general guidance for maintenance, primarily focused on safety during cleaning and handling.

Cleaning: Users are advised to wear protective gloves when handling or cleaning parts that could have sharp edges. The chrome cooking grills (E) are typically easy to clean, requiring scrubbing after use.
Inspection: The manual implicitly suggests regular inspection by advising users to "Save this manual: Keep this manual for safety warnings, precautions, assembly, operating, inspection, maintenance and cleaning procedures." This implies that users should periodically check the grill for any damage or wear and tear.
Storage: While not explicitly detailed, proper storage in a dry place is generally recommended for outdoor cooking appliances to prevent rust and prolong their lifespan. The modular design might also facilitate easier storage by disassembling certain parts.
Parts Replacement: The manual notes that "Some parts are listed and shown for illustration purposes only and are not available individually as replacement parts." However, it also states that "all repairs and parts replacements should be undertaken by certified and licensed technicians," indicating that certain parts might be replaceable by professionals. Users are encouraged to contact customer support for questions, implying assistance with maintenance and parts.
