CURING YOUR GRILL:
Prior to your first use of the Brinkmann Dual Function Grill with firebox, follow the instructions below carefully
to cure your grill. Curing your grill will rid the grill of paint odor that can impart unnatural flavors to the first
meal prepared on your Brinkmann Dual Function Grill.
IMPORTANT:
To protect your grill from excessive rust, the unit must be properly covered at all times
when not in use.
1. Lightly coat all interior surfaces of the Dual Function Grill including cooking grills with vegetable oil or
vegetable oil spray. Do not coat charcoal grates or charcoal tray.
2. Follow the instructions below carefully to build a fire in the firebox and cooking chamber. You may use
charcoal and/or wood as fuel in the charcoal section of the Dual Function Grill (see "Adding
Charcoal/Wood During Cooking" on page 14 of this manual).
Note:
We recommend using charcoal that has been pre-treated with lighter fluid or a charcoal chimney
starter.
WARNING: DO NOT store lighter fluid or other flammable liquids in or around your grill.
If using a Charcoal Chimney Starter, follow all manufacturer's warnings and instructions regarding the use
of their product. Start with 3 to 4 pounds (1.4 to 1.8 kg) of charcoal in the chimney starter for the cooking
chamber and 2 pounds (0.9 kg) of charcoal in the chimney starter for the firebox. This should be enough
charcoal to cook with, once the curing process has been completed.
3. With grill and firebox lids open raise charcoal grates to highest level, stand back and carefully light
charcoal chimney starter and allow to burn until covered with a light ash (approximately 20 minutes).
When charcoal is burning strong, carefully place hot coals in center of charcoal grates.
WARNING: DO NOT use grill without charcoal ash tray in place. DO NOT attempt to remove charcoal
ash tray while tray contains hot coals.
Note:
To extend the life of your grill, make sure that hot coals and wood do not touch the walls of grill.

To protect your grill from excessive rust, the unit must be properly covered at all times
