Seasoning Your Grill
Seasoning is an important rst step before you start cooking on your new grill. This process will help
protect the interior and exterior grill nish, reduce food sticking to the grates, reduce unnatural avors,
and help prevent the grates from rusting. Char-Griller
®
recommends using axseed oil for seasoning
your grill but most food grade oils (canola, grapeseed, vegetable, safower, etc) will work as well.
STEP 1
LIGHTLY COAT
WITH OIL
1. Char-Griller
®
grills come
pre-coated with vegetable
oil. If this is the rst time
seasoning your grill, move
on to Step 2
2. If re-seasoning your grill,
lightly coat ALL interior
surfaces (including grates
and inside of barrel) of your
grill with axseed or other
vegetable oil
STEP 2
HEAT UP GRILL
1. Following the instructions for
lighting your charcoal (page
C-2) and controlling the
temperature (page C-6),
bring your grill to
approximately 450°F
2. Once at temperature, allow
grill surfaces to season for
20 minutes
STEP 3
RE-APPLY OIL TO
GRATES 5X
1. After 20 minutes, open your
grill and carefully remove
your grill grates with a
grate lifter
2. Using a brush, re-coat both
sides of your grates with
axseed or other vegetable
oil and return to your grill
3. Close lid and allow surfaces
to season for 20 minutes
4. Repeat this process up to
ve times (Add more
charcoal to maintain
temperature as needed)
5. Your grill is now ready
for use
NOTE:
• You can lightly coat the exterior of the grill body (while warm) with vegetable oil. This will extend the
life of the nish, much like waxing a car.
