Operating Instructions

LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
There are a few methods to light your charcoal grill, depending on the materials you prefer to use. Using a charcoal chimney is the Char-Griller® preferred method for speed and convenience but igniting your lump charcoal or briquettes directly in the grill is a great way to get cooking as well.

Charcoal Chimney

1. Remove your grill grates and set them on the side
2. Fill your charcoal chimney ¾ of the way full with briquettes or lump charcoal
3. Set the fire starter on the charcoal grate, light and then place the charcoal chimney directly on top of the fire starter
4. Coals will fire upward from bottom to top
5. After the coals on top of the chimney are ignited (usually 10-15 minutes) dump the coals over the charcoal grate and replace your grill grates

Fire Starters

1. Remove your grill grates and set them on to side
2. Pour approximately 2 lbs .907kgs (approx. 30- 35 briquettes) of charcoal directly onto your charcoal grate and stack them together in a pile
3. Insert the fire starter into the middle of the charcoal pile so that it is slightly covered and light
4. After the charcoal has thoroughly ignited, typically glowing red or gray, use tongs to spread them out and replace your grill grates

NOTE:

• Do not use lighter fluid, gasoline, kerosene, alcohol, or other accelerant for lighting charcoal due to flammability, risk of bodily injury, and potential to leave a distasteful flavor in your food.
• If necessary, use tongs to move coals for even heat.
• Always wear gloves when handling grill grates, charcoal grates, or adjusting coals.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

To keep your grill in the best shape, it’s important to keep it clean and maintained. Continued cleaning and care are key to ensuring a long life for your Char-Griller® grill.

FINISH UP

• When you are finished grilling, clean your grates with a grill grate scraper then lightly coat your grates with flaxseed or other vegetable oil
• Next close both dampers and the hood allowing the fire to suffocate
• Wait until the coals and ash have completely cooled before moving to the next step

CLEAN UP

• Wait until the fire is  completely extinguished and the grill is cool to the touch before emptying the ashes
• Remove grates from the rill with a grate lifter
• Remove the ash pan from the grill
• Give the ash pan a few firm taps to loosen any ash that may be stuck
• Dump the ashes in a metal container and cover them with water to ensure there are no lit coals, tou can dispose of the ashes

COVER UP

• Extend the life of your grill by using a Char-Griller® custom grill cover to protect it from the elements
• Weather-resistant polyester material protects against birds, dust, wind, rain, and snow

ONLY EMPTY ASHES WHILE THE GRILL IS NOT USED AND COOL TO TOUCH

IMPORTANT : Charcoal is porous and holds moisture. DO NOT leave charcoal in your grill while you are not using it. Charcoal and ashes left inside the ash pan may reduce the life of your grill.

GRILLING STYLES
Your Char-Griller® grill can be used to smoke, grill, or sear your food. By using temperature zones, charcoal, and wood flavors, you can customize your culinary experience as desired. The following descriptions provide four of the most common ways you can cook with your Char-Griller® charcoal grill.

Grill
Cook with direct and indirect heat at medium temperatures (300°-450°F) (149°-232°C). Utilize a two-zone setup to cook at different speeds and temperatures.

1. Set charcoal grate to medium setting (halfway between grill grates and grill body) using adjustable charcoal tray hangers
2. Prepare up to 2 lbs (approximately 30-35 briquettes) of lit charcoal spread evenly across HALF the charcoal grate creating 2 Cooking Zones.
3. Once the grill is at the desired temperature, you may begin to cook. First place food over direct heat, cooking each side as desired. After initially cooking over direct heat, move to the cool zone (see picture at right) to bring your food to the desired internal temperature.

NOTE : Wood chips, chunks, or split logs may be used in addition to charcoal to add smoke flavor as desired.

Sear
Quickly cook with direct heat at high temperatures (450°-500°F) (232°-260°C).

1. Set charcoal grate to a high setting (closest to grill grates) using adjustable charcoal tray hangers
2. Prepare up to 3 lbs (approximately 45-50 briquettes) of lit charcoal spread evenly across the charcoal grate.
3. Once the grill is at the desired temperature, you may begin to cook by placing food directly over the coals.
4. Food will cook quickly. Cook each side for 3-4 minutes and then bring to the desired internal temperature.
5. NOTE : Always sear with the grill lid open to prevent damage to the exterior finish.

NOTE : Wood chips, chunks, or split logs may be used in addition to charcoal to add smoke flavor as desired.
