! WARNING ! Read all safety warnings and instructions carefully before operating your grill. PREPARATION FOR USE & LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS Curing your grill Prior to your first use of the grill, follow the instructions below carefully to cure your grill. Curing your grill will minimize damage to the exterior finish as well as get rid of the grill paint odor that can cause unnatural flavors to the first meal prepared on the grill.
! WARNING ! Charcoal lighting fluid must be allowed to completely burn off prior to closing grill lid (approximately 20 minutes). Failure to do this could trap fumes from charcoal lighting fluid in grill and may result in a flash-fire or explosion when lid is opened. Step 5 With coals burning strong, close the lid. Allow the temperature to reach 225°F (107°C). Maintain this temperature for 2 hours. Step 6 Increase the temperature to 400°F (205°C).
IF USING CHARCOAL CHIMNEY STARTER, PROCEED TO STEP 5. If you choose to use charcoal lighting fluid, ONLY use charcoal lighting fluid approved for lighting charcoal. Do not use gasoline, kerosene, alcohol or other flammable materials for lighting charcoal. Follow all manufacturer’s warnings and instructions regarding the use of their product. Start with 5 pounds (2.3 kg) of charcoal. Place the charcoal in center of each charcoal grate. Step 3 Saturate charcoal with lighting fluid.
NOTE: Dry wood burns hotter than charcoal, so you may want to increase the ratio of wood to charcoal to increase the cooking temperature. Hardwood such as oak, hickory, mesquite, fruit and nut wood are an excellent fuel because of their burning rate. When using wood as fuel, make sure the wood is seasoned and dry. DO NOT use resinous wood such as pine as it will produce an unpleasant taste.
Proper Care & Maintenance Cure your grill periodically throughout the year to protect against excessive rust. To protect your grill from excessive rust, the unit must be properly cured and covered at all times when not in use. Wash cooking grates and charcoal grates with hot, soapy water, rinse well and dry. Lightly coat grates with vegetable oil or vegetable oil spray. Clean inside and outside of grill by wiping off with a damp cloth.
