Secondary Cooking Grid (Sold Separately)
Pizza Cooking
For more cooking area you may use the Secondary Cooking Grid (SCG). The SCG increases the cooking
area by 45%. Two SCG may also be used side by side. There is a tab welded to the bottom of the Cooking
Grid at the back. The rear leg of the SCG rests on the tab and the front legs interlock with the bars on the
grid. This provides a second, sturdy cooking surface above the main grid. And provides enough room to
accommodate even large cuts of meat under the SCG.
The best way to cook pizza on your grill is with the use of a Pizza Stone and the Cooking Grid Holder.
1. After starting the re, leave the cooking grid o the grill.
2. Place the Cooking Grid Holder into position so the 3 legs rest in the 3 notches of the Fire Ring.
3. Bring the grill up to 500 -600 degrees and maintain at that temperature with dampers at the medium to
high settings (bottom control 1” open and top damper slid 1/2 to 3/4 open).
Place the Pizza Stone/ Ceramic Heat Deector on top of the Cooking Grid Holder. The Pizza Stone will be
level with the top of the grill so the pizza may be easily accessed. Fig.28
4. Once the grill has reached 500-600 degrees, do not wait much more than a couple of minutes to put the
pizza on. Spread a layer of corn meal on top of the pizza stone just before placing the pizza. Vigilance is
required to ensure the pizza crust does not burn.
If you have thick pizza, you should put it on the pizza stone before placing the pizza stone on the grill. This
way the crust will not burn before the inside is done. Try using the Stainless Steel Heat Shield and pizza stone
together to help avoid burning the crust.

To add additional smoked avor to your food, you may use wood chips or chunks. These may be added
through the access doors at the front of your Cooking Grid. Fig.22
Roasting
1. Place the Cooking Grid on top of the Cooking Grid with the Cooking Grid Access Door to the front of the
grill as shown previously. Fig.22.
2. You may then place the food directly on the Cooking Grid if desired. A pan to catch drippings may be
used on the Deector or on top of the Cooking Grid.
