BEFORE LIGHTING

Choose a Proper Location to Grill
• Only use this outdoors in a well-ventilated
grill
area. Do not use in a garage, building,
breezeway, or any other enclosed area.
• Keep the grill on a secure, level surface at all
times.
• Do not use within 5 feet (1.5 M) of any
the grill
combustible material. Combustible materials
include, but are not limited to, wood or treated
wood decks, patios, and porches.

Choose How Much Charcoal to Use

Choosing charcoal or briquette quantity depends on
what you are grilling and the size of your grill. If you
are grilling small, tender pieces of food that take
less than 20 minutes, refer to the Charcoal Quantity
for Direct Heat chart. If you are grilling or smoking
larger cuts of meat that require 20 minutes or more
of grilling time, or delicate foods, refer to the Charcoal
Quantity for Indirect Heat chart. For more details about
the difference between direct and indirect cooking,
refer to the GRILLING METHODS section of this manual.

The Very First Time You Grill

It is recommended that the grill be heated up and
the fuel kept red hot, with the lid on, for at least
30 minutes prior to cooking for the first time to
burn off any manufacturing residue.

Preparing the Grill for Lighting
1. Open the lid.
2. Remove the cooking grate from the grill. For
convenience, hang the cooking grate on the bowl of
your grill by its curved handles (A).
3. Remove the charcoal (bottom) grate and clear
ashes or chunks of old charcoal from the bottom
of the bowl. Charcoal requires oxygen to burn, so
be sure that nothing clogs the vents. Using the
ONE-TOUCH cleaning system, move the handle back
and forth to move ash from the bottom of the grill
into the ash catcher (B).
4. Squeeze the ash catcher handle to release it from
the grill (C).
5. Open bowl vent by moving the handle all the way
to the right (D) or by moving the handle to the open
position (E).
6. Reinstall the charcoal (bottom) grate.
Note: Instructions for using lighter fluid was purposely
left out of this owner's guide. Lighter fluid is messy and
can transmit a chemical taste to your food, while lighter
cubes (sold separately) do not. If you choose to use
lighter fluid, follow the manufacturer's instructions and
NEVER add lighter fluid to a burning fire.
