SEASONING YOUR COOKING GRATE
• Seasoning will prevent rust and food from sticking to the cooking grid. Apply a thing coating of solid vegetable shortening
over the entire surface. Place cooking grid inside of grill and allow to heat for 1-1½ hours. Frequent seasoning prevents
rusting. If rusting occurs, clean with a steel brush, apply vegetable shortening, and heat as indicated above.
TO COOK USING CHARCOAL AND DIRECT HEAT
1. For best results, use a metal charcoal starter and fill the starter with about
(0.91kg / 2lbs.) of charcoal and light.
2. After 30 minutes, dump the charcoal into the charcoal tray, which should be
at lowest adjustment height (Fig. A).
3. Adjust charcoal cooking chamber dampers from 1/4 to 1/3 open.
4. Immediately and carefully place another (0.91kg / 2lbs.) of charcoal on top of
the burning coals in the charcoal tray.
5. Once the temperature reaches your desired level, food can be placed on the
cooking grids. Do not cook before the charcoal has a coating of ash.
Tip: The adjustable charcoal tray in the charcoal cooking chamber allows the charcoal
tray to be moved to within a few inches of the cooking grate allowing you to sear your
meat and lock in the juices. Searing takes only a few minutes on each side. Don't allow
the meat or food to burn. After searing, crank the charcoal tray back to the bottom and
cook the food to your personal preference.
