No fasteners are necessary. Fig.10 Note: If you position the Chimney Top hinge on the right side it will close when the grill is opened (recommended). Note: Side shelf brackets are part of the shelf kit and must be attached. Fig.11 Fig.10 Please ensure that the left and right shelves are properly installed.
Page 8 USING YOUR GRILL Starting the Fire 1. Remove the cooking grid. 2. If you have charcoal left in the grill from the previous fire, stir it around enough to knock the ash down through the grate. This will allow better air flow for a quicker start. The remaining charcoal is good to use again. 3. Pour lump charcoal into the firebox until it covers the series of round holes in the firebox. (see Fig.13) You may fill it to the top of the firebox if you need to cook or smoke for more than three hours.
Page 9 CLEANING YOUR GRILL Cooking Grids It is not necessary to use soap to clean the Cooking Grids after every use. The easiest way to keep your grids clean is by using a brass or stainless steel bristled brush just before cooking. After starting the fire, put the Cooking Grid into position and allow it to heat up at a high temperature setting for 5 to 10 minutes. Brush the grids, close the lid and slow the grill down with the air control.
Page 10 HIGH TEMPERATURE GRILLING AND SEARING By placing the cooking grid directly on the ceramic Fire Ring you are closest to the coals for the highest temperatures. Fig. 21A You may also use the optional Cooking Grid Holder to raise the grid up level with the top of the grill opening. The 3 legs of the Holder should rest in the 3 notches in the top of the ceramic Fire Ring. Fig. 21B The Cooking Grid is then placed on top of the Holder. Fig.
ROASTING AND PIZZA COOKING Page 11 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 Deflector or on top of the Cooking Grid. Smoke Flavor To add additional smoked flavor to your food, you may use wood chips or chunks.
