CHARCOAL GRILL - PREPARATION PREPARING TO USE THE CHARCOAL SIDE OF YOUR GRILL Before cooking with your grill, the following steps should be closely followed to both cure the finish and season the interior steel. Failure to properly follow these steps may damage the finish and/or impart metallic flavors to your first foods. Brush all interior surfaces including grills and grates with vegetable cooking oil. a small fire on the charcoal pan, being sure not to lay coals against the walls.
CHARCOAL GRILL - COOKING TIPS Building Your Fire 1.) Stack charcoal briquettes or wood into a pyramid-shaped pile on top of the charcoal pan. We recommend using 2 pounds (approximately 30 briquettes) to start your fire, adding more as needed. 2.) If using lighter fluid, saturate the charcoal briquettes with lighter fluid and let it soak in for approximately 5 minutes. If using a chimney starter, electric starter, or other type of fire starter, light your fire according to the manufacturer's instructions. 3.
Direct and Indirect Grilling Direct Grilling - For most grilling, the ignited coals are spread in a single layer under the food. This is called direct grilling and is appropriate for relatively quick-cooking items such as hamburgers, steaks and most seafood. The single layer of coals emits even, steady heat, whether the grill lid is open or closed, and represents the way most people grill. For more control, pile some of the coals on one side of the grill where they will emit intense heat.
GRILLING GUIDE - GAS GRILL – Getting Started First Time Use Read your Assembly Manual and ensure the grill is put together properly. Remove all Point-of-Purchase advertising material from all grill surfaces before first use. We recommend operating your grill on its highest setting for 15-20 minutes prior to your first use. This aids in removing the oils used during manufacturing.
GRILLING GUIDE – Grilling 101 Outdoor grilling is really quite simple. You'll succeed with burgers, dogs, or steaks usually on your very first try. With experience, you will learn how to work with your grill, creating more imaginative meals all the time. This knowledge makes up the art of grilling. Before you start grilling, organize your food according to cooking technique and required cooking time, and optimize the use of your grilling area.
GRILLING GUIDE – Tips & Tricks Cooking on your new grill is a hands-on experience, and it is recommended to remain outside with your grill while cooking. Grilling can be affected by many external conditions. In cold weather, you will need more heat to reach an ideal cooking temperature, and grilling may take longer. The meat's internal temperature and thickness can also affect cooking times. Cold and thicker meats will take longer to cook.
GRILLING GUIDE – Cleaning Your Grill Why Clean? We've all heard the saying, 'an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.’ This is great advice when it comes to keeping your grill clean. Routine Care Periodic cleaning of this grill is necessary, as grill fires can occur when grease and food debris collect in the bottom of the grill. After each use, remove any remaining food particles from the cooking grate and inside of the grill using a grill brush.
USE AND CARE DANGER • NEVER store a spare LP cylinder under or near the appliance or in an enclosed area. • Never fill a cylinder beyond 80% full. • An over filled or improperly stored cylinder is a hazard due to possible gas release from the safety relief valve. This could cause an intense fire with risk of property damage, serious injury or death. • If you see, smell or hear gas escaping, immediately get away from the LP cylinder/appliance and call your fire department.
LP Cylinder Exchange Connecting Regulator to the LP Cylinder •Many retailers that sell grills offer you the option of replacing your empty LP cylinder through an exchange service. Use only those reputable exchange companies that inspect, precision fill, test and certify their cylinders. Exchange your cylinder only for an OPD safety feature-equipped cylinder as described in the "LP Cylinder" section of this manual.
