Lighting Instructions
1. To start a charcoal re, stack 50-60 briquettes in a pyramid and saturate with lighter uid.
NOTE: Do not use gasoline, kerosene or alcohol for lighting charcoal. Use of any of these or similar
products could cause an explosion possibly leading to severe bodily injury.
2. Light coals in several places
3. After briquettes ash over or turn gray, spread them out and start cooking
4. If one end burns faster, use tongs to move coals from one end to the other for even heat.
Grill Operation & Tips
• Control heat with amount and type of fuel, Dual dampers, and adjustable re grate. Adjust grate one
end at a time. Wood burns hotter than coals. More airow is more heat.
• To reduce are-ups, cook with lid in the down position.
• Add water soaked hardwood chips for a smoked avor.
• 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 as it will give unnatural avor. Burn lighter uid completely before
closing lid.
• After each use, coat vegetable oil on the interior grates and bare metal while warm to reduce rust
• On the EXTERIOR, remove dust with wire brush and touch up with a high heat paint, available at
most hardware/auto stores.
• You may place a coee can on bottom shelf under the hole in the grill to catch drippings.
• Heat guage may obtain moisture, which will steam out during cooking. Gauge can be removed and
calibrated in oven.
• You may ll unwanted holes with Nuts & Bolts (Not Provided).
NOTE: Smoke may escape from areas other than the smokestack.
This should not affect cooking.
