PRE-SEASONING
Pre-seasoning will rid your grill of chemicals and oils left over by the manufacturing process, allowing
them to burn off. PRE-SEASON GRILL PRIOR TO FIRST USE.
1. Fill the hopper with charcoal approximately 1/4–1/2 full.
2. Start grill following the START-UP instructions and set the temperature to 120°C
for 60 minutes.
3. Set the temperature to 205°C for 30 minutes.
4. Shut down the grill following the SHUTDOWN instructions.
5. Allow grill to cool COMPLETELY.
6. Using a napkin or cloth, rub a light coat of cooking oil on smoke + sear grates, warming/smoking
racks, charcoal grate and the inside of the grill lid and body.
7. Repeat steps 3–6 at 175°C
Frequent seasoning prevents rusting. If rusting occurs, clean with a steel brush, apply vegetable
shortening and heat as indicated above.
