GRILL PREPARATION & CHARCOAL GRILL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
PLEASE NOTE: NO RETURNS ON USED GRILLS
Read all safety warnings and instructions carefully before assembling and operating your grill.
1. Note: The interior of the grills are not painted and are coated with vegetable oil. Do not remove this vegetable
oil coating. Gas and Charcoal Grill: Cure GRILLS prior to your initial use to protect the interior and exterior finish
and to prevent unnatural flavors to your first meals. (A) 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, fire, or flame). This is in addition to the vegetable oil that is already on the interior. (B) Charcoal
Grill: Build a medium sized fire on the fire grate. (C) Charcoal Grill: After coals ash over, spread out coals,
replace cooking grates. Gas and Charcoal Grill: close lid and heat at approximately
250
°
F (120
°
C)
for two
hours. You can lightly coat the exterior of both grill bodies (while warm) with vegetable oil and wipe off excess
with a rag. This will extend the life of the finish, much like waxing a car. Your GRILLS will then be ready for use.
NOTE: Grills will drip a lot of oil during this process and for several uses but will slow over time.
NEVER EXCEED 450

C) 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.
2. Charcoal Grill: To START FIRE –stack 50-60 briquettes in pyramid and saturate with lighter fluid
(DON’T
USE GASOLINE).
Light coals in several places, close lid after briquettes ash over or gray, spread them out
and start cooking. If one end burns faster, use tongs to mo
ve coals from one end to the other for even heat.
ALWAYS FOLLOW CHARCOAL AND LIGHTER FLUID MANUFACTURERS’ INSTRUCTIONS
AND WARNINGS.
USE OUTDOORS ONLY ON NONCOMBUSTIBLE SURFACE – 15’ AWAY FROM WOOD AND
COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL.
3. Charcoal Grill: Control heat with amount and type of FUEL, DUAL DAMPERS and ADJUSTABLE FIRE
GRATE. Adjust GRATE one end at a time. Wood burns hotter than coals. More airflow is more heat.
4. For less flare-ups, cook with lid in the down position.
5. Charcoal Grill: Add water soaked hardwood chips for a smoked flavor.
6. Charcoal Grill: Burn out may be rust out. Ashes left in bottom too long hold moisture and rust through any
thickness of steel.
7. This grill is made of steel and cast iron, which
WILL RUST, ESPECIALLY IF NOT PROPERLY
CARED FOR.
8. Charcoal Grill: Do not use self-starting charcoal as it will give unnatural flavor. Burn lighter fluid completely
before closing lid.
9. After using, coat vegetable oil on bare metal while warm to reduce rust. On the EXTERIOR, remove rust with
wire brush and touch up with a high heat paint, available at most hardware/auto stores.
10. Make sure to empty Grease Tray after every use only after it has completely cooled.
11. HEAT GAUGES may obtain moisture, which will steam out during cooking. Gauge may be calibrated in
oven.
12. You may fill unwanted holes with Nuts & Bolts (Not Provided).
NOTE: Smoke will escape from areas other than the smokestacks. This will not affect your cooking.
