CURING YOUR GRILL:
Prior to your first use of the Brinkmann Dual Function Grill, follow the in struc tions below carefully to
preheat 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:
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 grate or charcoal tray.
2. Follow the instructions below carefully to build a fire in the charcoal 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" section 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, material or charcoal that has been
pre-treated with lighter fluid under or around the grill.
If using a Charcoal Chimney Starter, follow all manufacturer's warn ings and instructions regarding the use
of their product. Start with 3 pounds (1.4 kg) of charcoal. This should be enough charcoal to cook with,
once the curing process has been completed.
3. With cooking chamber lid open raise charcoal grate to highest level, stand back and carefully light
charcoal and allow to burn until covered with a light ash (ap prox i mate ly 20 minutes). When charcoal
is burning strong, carefully place hot coals in center of charcoal grate.
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
