OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Setting Up
This grill is designed for use outdoors, away from any flammable materials. When in use, it is important that there are no overhead obstructions and that the grill is at least 12 ft. (~4 m) from any wall or surface. The ventilation openings of the grill mustn’t be obstructed. The grill must be used on a level, stable surface. The grill should be protected from direct wind drafts and any trickling water (i.e. rain or water from gutters). Do not move the grill while hot, and do not leave it unattended during operation.

NEVER EXCEED 500°F BECAUSE THIS WILL DAMAGE THE FINISH AND CONTRIBUTE TO RUST. PAINT IS NOT WARRANTED AND WILL REQUIRE TOUCH-UP. THIS UNIT IS NOT WARRANTED AGAINST RUST.

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 to 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 3lbs (approx. 50-60 briquettes) of charcoal directly onto your charcoal grate and stack them together in a pile
  3. Insert the ire 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.

Controlling Temperature
Controlling the temperature of your grill is all about controlling the airflow to the fire. MORE AIR = MORE HEAT. LESS AIR = LESS HEAT. By opening and closing the top and side dampers, you can easily control the temperature of your grill. The amount of charcoal used when grilling can also greatly impact your ability to control temperature. Dampers may need to be adjusted during the cook to account for changes in weather like wind or to accommodate for more or less fuel. When first learning how to operate your grill, always use the same amount of charcoal to best learn your grill’s damper control.

Char-Griller-2799-Raider-30-In-W-Black-Barrel-Charcoal-Grill-FIG-
\(21\)

SMOKE 150°-250°F

  • Start with dampers 1/4 or less of the way open and adjust as needed during the cook
  • For best results, start with up to 2 lbs. of charcoal (30-40 Briquettes) and/or wood fuel
  • Adjust the charcoal grate to its lowest setting or farthest from the cooking grates

GRILL 300°-450°F

  • Control airflow as needed, by adjusting dampers from 1/3-2/3 of the way open
  • For best results, start with up to 2 lbs. of charcoal (30-40 Briquettes)
  • Place coals on one half of the charcoal grate – adjust the charcoal grate level to the middle

SEAR 450°-500°F

  • For maximum airflow, both dampers should be open with air flowing freely
  • For best results, start with up to 3 lbs. of charcoal (50-60 Briquettes)
  • Adjust the charcoal grate to its highest setting or closest to the cooking grates

Seasoning Your Grill
Seasoning is an important first step before you start cooking on your new grill. This process will help protect the interior and exterior grill finish, reduce food sticking to the grates, reduce unnatural flavors, and help prevent the grates from rusting. Char-Griller® recommends using flaxseed oil for seasoning your grill but most food-grade oils (canola, grapeseed, vegetable, safflower, etc) will work as well.

Char-Griller-2799-Raider-30-In-W-Black-Barrel-Charcoal-Grill-FIG-
\(22\)

  1. STEP 1 LIGHTLY COAT WITH OIL
  2. Char-Griller® grills come pre-coated with vegetable oil. If this is the first time seasoning your grill, move on to Step 2
  3. If re-seasoning your grill, lightly coat ALL interior surfaces (including grates and inside of the barrel) of your grill with flaxseed or other vegetable oil
  4. STEP 2 HEAT GRILL
  5. Following the instructions for lighting your charcoal (page C-2) and controlling the temperature (page C-6), bring your grill to approximately 450°F
  6. Once at temperature, allow grill surfaces to season for 20 minutes
  7. STEP 3 RE-APPLY OIL TO GRATES 5X
  8. After 20 minutes, open your  grill and carefully remove the grill grates with a grate lifter
  9. Using a brush, re-coat both sides of your grates with flaxseed or other vegetable oil and return to your grill
  10. Close the ID and allow surfaces to season for 20 minutes
  11. Repeat this process up to five times (Add more charcoal to maintain temperature as needed)
  12. Your grill is now ready for use

NOTE: You can lightly coat the exterior of the grill body (while warm) with vegetable oil. This will extend the life of the finish, much like waxing a car.

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). 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 30-40 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
  4. 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).

  1. Set the charcoal grate to a high setting (closest to grill grates) using adjustable charcoal tray hangers
  2. Prepare up to 3 lbs (approximately 50-60 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.
  6. NOTE : Wood chips, chunks, or split logs may be used in addition to charcoal to add smoke flavor as desired.

Smoke
Cook with indirect heat at low temperatures (150°-250° F). Use wood chips, chunks, split logs, or pellets to add smoke flavor

  1. Set the charcoal grate to a low setting (farthest from grill grates) using adjustable charcoal tray hangers
  2. Prepare up to 2 lbs (approximately 30-40 briquettes) of charcoal spread evenly across HALF the charcoal grate creating two cooking zones
  3. Add wood chips, chunks, or split logs as desired to add smoke flavor
  4. Once the grill is to the desired temperature, you may begin to cook
  5. Keep food on the cool side of the grill to cook with indirect heat throughout the cook
  6. NOTE: Opening the smoking chamber will extend the cooking time.

Offset Smoke
Cook with indirect heat from the side fire box at low temperatures (150°-250° F). Use split wood logs, chips, chunks, or pellets to add smoke flavor

  1. Prepare up to 2 lbs (approximately 30-40 briquettes) of charcoal in the side firebox
  2. Add wood chips, chunks, split logs, or pellets as desired to add smoke flavor
  3. Once the grill is at the desired temperature, begin to cook
  4. Food placed closer to the side fire box will cook faster than food placed on the opposite side of the grill
  5. NOTE : Opening the smoking chamber will extend the cooking time.

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. Have questions? Call, email, or chat online with Char-Griller® Customer Service!

FINISH UP

  • When you are finished grilling, clean your grates with the Char-Griller® Grate Scrape and 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 coals and ash have completely cooled before attempting to clean up or remove

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 grill 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, you 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.

General Grilling Tips & Warnings

  • Control heat with amount and type of fuel, dual dampers, and adjustable fire grate. Adjust the fire grate one end at a time. Wood burns hotter than charcoal. More airflow helps generate more heat.
  • Additional charcoal and/or smoking wood may be added while the cooking is in progress. Wear gloves and an apron when operating your grill.
  • Only use natural hardwoods intended for cooking. Appropriate selections can typically be found in grocery stores and outdoor grilling retailers.
  • When utilizing a water pan, check the water level when cooking for more than 4 hours or when you can’t hear the water simmering. Add water by moving the meat over and pouring water through cooking grates into the water pan. To reduce flare-ups, cook with a hood in the down position.
  • When cooking with charcoal, leave the grill hood open during the initial start-up and until the coals ash over. The grill hood must remain open anytime the temperature gauge is greater than 500°F.
  • Always put charcoal on top of the charcoal grate and not directly into the bottom of the grill.
  • Do not use self-starting charcoal as it will give food an unnatural flavor. Ashes left in the grill too long between uses will absorb moisture and will cause rust. Be sure to empty the ash after the grill has cooled. Uncoated steel and cast iron will rust when not properly cared for. On the EXTERIOR PAINT, remove rust with a wire brush and touch up with a high-heat paint, available at most hardware/auto stores. Rustoleum® #241169 is the best color match. The heat gauge may retain moisture, which will steam out during cooking. The gauge can be removed and calibrated in the oven. For a more tightly sealed grill, fill unwanted holes with nuts and bolts (not included).
  • Attach a metal can to the grease cup holder or on the bottom shelf under the hole in the grill to catch drippings.
  • Smokestack and side dampers will be hot. Only touch using gloves or mitts.
  • Before you use your grill for the first time you must season the cast iron cooking grates.
  • After each use, coat the interior grates and bare metal with vegetable oil while warm to reduce the chance of rust. Proper and regular seasoning will protect against rust and extend the life of your grill and cooking grates.
  • Grill will drip oil during the seasoning process and for several uses afterward, this is normal.
  • Never exceed 500°F because this will damage the finish and contribute to rust.
  • Paint is not warranted and will require touch-up. This grill is not warranted against rust.
  • DO NOT use lighter fluid, gasoline, kerosene, alcohol, or other accelerant for lighting charcoal. Use of any of these or similar products could cause an explosion possibly leading to severe bodily injury.

NOTE : Smoke may escape from areas other than the smokestack. This will not affect cooking

CHAR-GRILLER® DOES NOT ACCEPT RETURNS ON USED GRILLS.

Smoking Recipes

“CERTIFIED” PORK BUTT
A great pork butt recipe perfect for beginners and pitmasters alike. This slow-smoked pork butt recipe is great shredded and piled high with coleslaw for a sandwich or eaten on its own straight out of the pan!

Ingredients:

  • 2 Pork Butts (6-10 lbs. each)
  • Apple juice
  • Your favorite rub/seasoning Mustard

Preparing the Meat:

  1. Remove the pork butt from the plastic wrap & pat dry using a paper towel.
    • Tip : Choose a pork butt with a full-fat cap. This helps the meat while it’s smoking for a long period.
  2. Trim the excess fat that is loose and pulls up easily. Score the fat cap 1/8 to 1/4-inch-deep diagonally, spaced out 1/2 to 1 inch apart.
    • Tip : Scoring the meat allows the seasoning and smoke to penetrate the pork butt.
  3. Fill the marinade injector with apple juice and inject it into the top and sides of the meat.
  4. Spread a coating of mustard using a basting brush all over the pork butt.
    • Tip: This allows the rub to stick to the pork butt.
  5. Generously season the pork butt on all sides with your favorite rub.
    • Tip : After seasoning, wrap in Saran Wrap and store in the refrigerator overnight for 8-10 hours. This allows the rubs to penetrate and apple juice to tenderize the pork butt.

Cooking Directions:

  1. Ignite charcoal and preheat the smoker to 225°F.
  2. Add boiling water to the drip pan and place under the grill grate.
    • Tip : This will add moisture for the cook and collect the drippings.
  3. Smoke the pork butts for 2 hours per pound at 225°F, until the meat reaches an internal temperature of 160°F.
    • Tip : Maintain a 225°F temperature, and check the fire hourly or when needed. Also, spritz with apple juice every time you add fuel to your fire. Spritzing adds moisture and flavor. It prevents the pork butt from drying out and helps to create the bark. Monitor the temperature using a folding probe thermometer and/ or remote thermometer.
  4. Remove the pork butts from the smoker and double wrap in foil. Before closing the wrap, add 1 Cup of apple juice and 1 stick of butter for each pork butt, more seasoning, and BBQ sauce, to taste.
  5. Place back in the smoker and cook until the pork butt reaches an internal temperature of 199°F, then remove from the smoker.
    • Tip : Wrap pork butt in a large towel and place it in a cooler or just set it to the side for a minimum of 1-2 hours for resting. This allows the meat to cook down and stop cooking and is a major key in the process.
  6. After resting, remove the towel and foil. Pull apart the pork using two forks or meat claws.
  7. Make pulled pork sandwiches and endless pulled pork dishes. Enjoy!

3-2-1 RIBS
The 3-2-1 rib method might be something you have seen thrown around on social media. It’s a popular technique for smoking ribs that are tender, juicy, and come clean off the bone. Simple and easy to follow, this is a surefire way to guarantee your ribs are finger-lickin’ good. The 3-2-1 Method is a process that involves smoking the ribs for three hours, wrapping them in foil, and braising for two hours, and the smoking unwrapped for one hour. This not only helps the ribs cook faster but also ensures an even smoke ring and more tender meat.

Ingredients:

  • 4 Racks of Ribs
  • 2 Cups of Apple Cider, 2 Additional Cups in a Spray Bottle
  • 8 Tbsp of Salted Butter
  • 1 Cup of Favorite BBQ Sauce
  • 1 Cup Dark Brown Sugar Char-Griller Rib Rub
  • 4 Tbsp Honey

Instructions:

  1. Prepare your Char-Griller® Offset Smoker for smoking by starting half a chimney starter of charcoal and adding it to the Side Fire Box. Alternatively, prepare your grill for the indirect method with coals arranged opposite where you plan to place the ribs.
    • Tip: Add about half a chimney of unlit charcoal to the Side Fire Box close to the barrel before adding the lit charcoal next to it. The lit charcoal will gradually light the unlit charcoal to help maintain temperature for longer.
  2. Add three to four chunks of Apple Wood and close the lid.
  3. Allow the grill to heat up to about 200°F.
  4. Remove the membrane from the ribs.
    • Tip: Start at the narrower end of the rack, carefully work a paring knife under the membrane to get it started, and remove the membrane using a paper towel.
  5. Liberally season both sides of the ribs with Char-Griller® Rib Rub.
  6. Open the grill and raise the adjustable fire grate to the top level. This ensures even smoke distribution.
  7. Place a drip pan(s) full of water under the grates and on top of the fire grate in the main barrel.
  8. Place ribs bone side down on the grates, close the lid, and allow to smoke for three hours.
    • Tip: Place the exposed bone side of the rib rack towards the Side Fire Box to get the meat to pull away from the bone better. If using the indirect method, place ribs opposite the coals.
  9. Periodically check the temperature to ensure it is holding steady at 200°F. If you have to add charcoal, only add lit charcoal.
  10. Every 30 minutes, spray the ribs with Apple Cider and move the rib rack that is closest to the Side Fire Box to the side of the grill that is furthest from the Side Fire Box and move the other rib racks closer to the Side Fire Box to accommodate. Repeat the spray and rotate method every 30 minutes.
  11. Remove ribs from the grill after three hours.
  12. Tear off a large sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil. (One for each rack of ribs.)
  13. Place one rack of ribs bone side up on each piece of aluminum foil.
  14. Coat the bone side of the ribs with brown sugar, honey, and four pats of butter.
  15. Pour over ½ cup of apple cider.
  16. Fully crimp the edges of the foil together to cover the ribs.
  17. Fully crimp the edges of the foil together to cover the ribs.
  18. Repeat with the other three racks of ribs.
  19. Transfer ribs back to the smoker and increase the temperature to 225°F.
  20. Do this by opening the dampers a little more and adding another half a chimney of lit charcoal if needed.
  21. Allow ribs to braise for two hours.
  22. Continue to rotate the ribs as outlined in step 8b to ensure that all of the racks get time close and far away from the fire.
  23. Remove the ribs from the grill and foil. Place back on the grillbone side down.
  24. Brush ribs with your favorite BBQ sauce and cook for one hour at 225°F.
  25. Remove and enjoy!
