OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Setting Up This grill is designed for use outdoors, away from any flammable materials. When in use, it is important that there are no overhead obstructions and that the grill is at least 3 ft. from any wall or surface. Maintain 10 ft. of clearance to objects that can catch fire or sources of ignition such as pilot lights on water heaters, live electrical appliances, etc. It is important that the ventilation openings of the grill are not obstructed.
Lighting Instructions There are a few methods to light your charcoal grill, depending on the materials you prefer to use. Using a charcoal chimney is the Char-Griller® preferred method for speed and convenience but igniting your lump charcoal or briquettes directly in the grill is a great way to get cooking as well. Charcoal Chimney 1. Remove your grill grates and set them to side 2. Fill your charcoal chimney ¾ of the way full with briquettes or lump charcoal 3.
Controlling Temperature Controlling the temperature of your grill is all about controlling the air flow to the fire. MORE AIR = MORE HEAT. LESS AIR = LESS HEAT. By opening and closing the top and side dampers, you can easily control the temperature of your grill. The amount of charcoal used when grilling can also greatly impact your ability to control temperature. Dampers may need to be adjusted during the cook to account for changes in weather like wind or to accommodate for more or less fuel.
Seasoning Your Grill Seasoning is an important first step before you start cooking on your new grill. This process will help protect the interior and exterior grill finish, reduce food sticking to the grates, reduce unnatural flavors, and help prevent the grates from rusting. Char-Griller® recommends using flaxseed oil for seasoning your grill but most food grade oils (canola, grapeseed, vegetable, safflower, etc) will work as well.
Grilling Styles Your Char-Griller® grill can be used to smoke, grill or sear your food. By using temperature zones, charcoal and wood flavor, you can customize your culinary experience as desired. The following descriptions provide four of the most common ways you can cook with your Char-Griller® charcoal grill. Grill Cook with direct and indirect heat at medium temperatures (300°-450°F). Utilize a two zone set up to cook at different speeds and temperatures. GRILL (Direct Heat) - 300°-450°F Up to 2 lbs.
Smoke SMOKE (INDIRECT HEAT) Up to 2 lbs. Charcoal (30-40 Briquettes) Chacoal Grate adjusted to lowest setting or farthest from the cooking grates Cook with indirect heat at low temperatures (150°-250° F). Use wood chips, chunks, split logs or pellets to add smoke flavor 1. Set charcoal grate to low setting (farthest from grill grates) using adjustable charcoal tray hangers Cool Zone 2.
Care & Maintenance In order to keep your grill in the best shape, it’s important to keep it clean and maintained. Continued cleaning and care are key to ensuring a long life for your Char-Griller® grill.
General Grilling Tips & Warnings Control heat with amount and type of fuel, dual dampers, and adjustable fire grate. Adjust fire grate one end at a time. Wood burns hotter than charcoal. More airflow helps generate more heat. Additional charcoal and/or smoking woods may be added while cook is in progress. Wear gloves and apron when operating your grill. Only use natural hardwoods intend for cooking. Appropriate selections can typically be found in grocery stores and outdoor grilling retailers.
