•
When in use, grill will be hot. Do not touch areas of grill, except handles, without heat
resistant gloves. ALWAYS FOLLOW CHARCOAL AND FIRE STARTER MANUFACTURERS'
INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS. USE OUTDOORS ONLY ON NONCOMBUSTIBLE SURFACE
– 12' AWAY FROM WOOD AND COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL.
•
Add water soaked hardwood chips or chunks to your charcoal for a smoked flavor. See Adding
Wood For Flavor on page C-6.
•
Empty ashes after each use once the grill has cooled down completely. Ashes left in bottom too long
hold moisture and will rust through any thickness of steel. This grill is made of steel and cast iron,
which WILL RUST, ESPECIALLY IF NOT PROPERLY CARED FOR.
•
Do not use self-starting charcoal or lighter fluid as it will be difficult to manage temperature and will
cause unnatural flavors.
•
After each use, coat flaxseed or other food grade oil on the interior grates to reduce rust.
•
Prior to use, regularly wipe down the main heat sensor. If the heat sensor gets overly dirty it can
impact performance.
ATTENTION!
• DO NOT use a charcoal chimney to ignite charcoal.
Over-activation of charcoal will prevent controller from
being able to control temperature.
• BE PATIENT. Time to reach desired temperature
will vary by fuel type, number of fire starters and
placement, as well as weather conditions. See Lighting
Instructions on pages C-2 – C-5.
• Use ONE fire starter for smoking (200-250°F).
• TWO fire starters can be used to achieve higher
temperatures (350-700°F).
• The appropriate fuel amount must be added to reach
desired temperature. See Lighting Instructions on
pages C-2 – C-5.
Please Review ALL of the Lighting
Instructions Prior to Operating Grill
• When smoking (200-250°F), if the grill
exceeds the set temperature by +50°F it
may be challenging to reach desired temperature.
• It is NOT possible to go from Grilling or Searing (350-
700°F) to Smoking temperatures (200-250°F). Grill must
be shut down, charcoal extinguished, and restarted 1-2
hours later.
• DO NOT set temperature to higher than desired
temperature in an attempt to reach desired temperature
faster. This will result in over activating the charcoal
and inability to maintain the desired temperature.
• DO NOT use the Heat Deflector at temperatures higher
than 450°F.
