The cooking grill can be used for open re grilling
over anthracite coal or wood.
To install the grill, place the handle in the grill as
shown at left. The grill can now be lifted and positioned
in the opening on top of the stove as shown below left.
Always
wear gloves when handling the grill.
Cooking on anthracite coal produces avor similar
to a gas grill.
Cooking on wood produces many avors depending
on the type of wood used. More avor is added when
cooking is done with the top closed. This causes the
heat and smoke to circle around the food.
As with grilling or any open re cooking, the amount
of heat and cooking time must be experimented with
for best results.

Disposal of Ashes. The TLC 2000 was designed to
provide access to the ash pan without the need for
opening the main door. Wearing heavy protective
gloves, open the ash door and remove the ash pan by
pulling it forward by the handle. Close the ash door
before taking the ashes outside for safe disposal.
A good time to empty the ash pan is before loading.
This ensures that the ashes will be cold and safer to
handle than directly after shaking the ashes down or
tending the re.
Open the coal air control to the maximum position
by sliding it to the right. Allow the re to burn vigorously
for several minutes. Shake the grates with short choppy
strokes until the rst red coals fall into the ash pan, then
stop! Add coal to the top of the coal bed. It is good to
allow some red hot coals exposed to help ignite the
gases coming off of the newly added coal. These gases
can be volatile if left accumulate. The coal air control
may be returned to the desired setting.
