HOW GRILL DOME WORKS 4
INTERNAL CONSTRUCTION Grate Placement 5
QUICK DOS & DON’TS 1. DO NOT cook with the lid open. If you are using chips or there are lots of drippings keep it open for as little as possible as they can catch fire. 2. DO NOT remove the white or grey gasket from the rims of the Grill Dome. Its purpose is to help seal the cooker and provide cushion for the lid and base. 3. DO NOT walk away from the Grill Dome with the dampers wide open when starting or cooking on the cooker.
UNPACKING * NOTE: Before unpacking the Grill Dome, it is best to place the cooker as close to its resting space as possible. 1. Cut the strapping with a scissor or knife and remove the outer packing of the Grill Dome. This includes the Top cardboard packing Middle card board strip Clear plastic cover 2. Cut the twine or tie on each side of the cooker that ties the big bolts. 3. Do not remove the white or grey cloth gaskets on the mating surfaces of the base and the lid. 4.
5. Remove the internal packaging and components. Be careful not to overturn the cooker while unpacking. a) Remove the card board packaging inside. b) Remove the porcelain coated cooking grill. Take out the ceramic top, ceramic charcoal. c) Remove the top circular ceramic ring. Remove any rubber or wood packaging you may find around the Firebox. d) Remove the Firebox. Remove any packaging below the Firebox.
e) Remove any other small packing materials from the inside of the Grill Dome. 6. Place the grill shell in its final place inside the table or the DomeMobile without the internal components Insert the base stand under the base by lifting the cooker (sold separately). Put all internal parts back into the Grill Dome once the cooker is set in place. Put the firebox in first.
Put the circular ceramic ring in. Put the porcelain cooking grill back in. 7. Close the lid If you have the scissor hinge, to close the lid slightly lift the lid by lifting from the handle and then push the extended thumb arms of the side hinges away from you one at a time. Lower the lid gently into closed position. If you have the auto hinge close the lid gently. Do not jerk open the lid or drop it while closing.
METAL GRATE INSTRUCTIONS Purpose: The Metal Grate is designed to allow more airflow through to the fire and allows you to get to higher temperatures quicker. Therefore if you grill more often than you smoke low and slow, you will find it more convenient to use a metal grate for achieving those temperatures quicker. If you are cooking low and slow, you may find it convenient to use a ceramic grate.
LIFTING THE GRILL DOME Remove all internal parts in order to make the unit lighter to lift. DO NOT lift from the lid as that will put the weight on the hinge and could damage it permanently. DO NOT try to lift the Grill Dome by yourself. You will need at least two people to lift the Grill Dome. Set the GRILL DOME directly in front of the Domemobile To lift the Grill Dome, grab from the inside around the rim of the base. Be cautious when lifting as the lid will tend to tilt back because of the weight.
STARTING YOUR GRILL DOME The Grill Dome is ready to cook as soon as you have it unpacked. We recommend using lump charcoal as fuel. High quality charcoal briquettes are an acceptable alternative. Even wood chunks can be used either by themselves or mixed with the charcoal. Wood chunks will produce more smoke and should be left to burn for sometime before putting the food on. Too much smoke can make your foods taste bitter. This does not apply to when few wood chunks or smoking chips are used for smoking.
rule of thumb a full load is a mound of charcoal that comes to the bottom of the holes on the side of the firebox. Pictures below depict what your grill may look like when you are about to start your fire. Leftover Charcoal Fresh Charcoal Step4 Open the bottom damper completely and open the top damper completely as well. Step 5 To start the charcoal various methods can be used. Unlike other charcoal grills, you do not use lighter fluid to start the fire in the Grill Dome.
Fire Starters: Break off one or two squares of the fire starters and place them in the middle of the charcoal mound. Light the starter sticks and once they are lit place a few charcoal pieces on top of the fire. Let the fire starters burn for about 1 minute before closing the lid. Keep the top and bottom dampers wide open. You should reach 300-350 degrees within 10 minutes.
To adjust or set the temperatures to the desired cooking temperature, make adjustments to the bottom draft door and leave the top damper at ½ inch open. To increase the temperature, open the bottom draft door more and to reduce the temperature close it a little. As a rule of thumb, ¼ inch opening or closing the damper will make a difference of about 40 degrees Fahrenheit. With a little practice you will easily be able to maintain the desired temperatures for the duration of the cooking.
3 TIER COOKING SETUP (OPTIONAL RACKS) INDIRECT COOKING RACK To setup indirect use a drip pan or a ceramic stone. You want to make sure there is enough space around the pan or stone for proper airflow. Sear Steaks closer to the fire. For foods that have lots of fat, use a pan to catch the drippings.
GRILL EXTENDER Add additional cooking space above the main cooking level with the Large Grill Extender. Cook Pizzas on the Grill Extender. Caution: DO NOT place the ceramic stone on the main cooking level as this will not allow for proper airflow and could damage your grill. HALF MOON RACK Cook half direct and half indirect with a Half Moon Rack. Use as a warming rack. Add additional cooking space.
MAINTAINING YOUR GRILL DOME The Grill Dome requires very little maintenance as compared to other style grills. Here are a few tips and cautions on maintaining your Grill Dome. Ash Removal - Ashes should be removed every 3 to 4 uses. Porcelain Grill - Use a brass bristle brush to clean the porcelain grill. The grill is dishwasher safe as well. Bolts - Please check all the bolts on the metal bands for tightness. Inspect these periodically and tighten the bolts if necessary.
