OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Setting Up

This appliance is designed for use outdoors, away from any flammable materials. It is important that there are no overhead obstructions and that there is a minimum distance of 36 inches (90 cm) from the side or rear of the appliance. It is important that the ventilation openings of the appliance are not obstructed.

The grill must be used on a level, stable surface. The appliance should be protected from direct drafts and positioned or protected against direct penetration by any trickling water (e.g. rain). Do not move grill while hot, and do not leave unattended during operation

PLEASE NOTE: NO RETURNS ON USED GRILLS

Seasoning and Preparing the Grill

IMPORTANT: BEFORE YOU USE YOUR GRILL FOR THE FIRST TIME YOU MUST SEASON THE CAST IRON COOKING GRATE(S).

Cure grill prior to your initial use to protect the interior and exterior finish, cooking grates, and to prevent unnatural flavors to your first meals.

1. Lightly coat ALL INTERIOR SURFACES (including grills, grates, and inside of barrel) with vegetable oil (spray vegetable oil is easiest but do not use near hot coals or fire).
2. Stack 50-60 briquettes in a pyramid on the fire grate. Always put charcoal on top of the fire grate and not directly into the bottom of the grill.
3. After coals ash over, spread out coals, replace cooking grates, close lid and heat at approximately 250° F for two hours.
4. Remove grates from the grill with grill gloves, allow to cool, then re-coat grates and return to grill at approximately 200° F for two hours.
5. 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. Your grill is now ready for use.

NOTE: Grill will drip oil during this process and for several uses afterwards. This is normal.

NEVER EXCEED 400°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

1. To start a charcoal fire, stack 50-60 briquettes in a pyramid. Place fire starter in the middle of the briquettes and light the fire starter. NOTE: Do not use gasoline, kerosene or alcohol for lighting charcoal. Use of any of these or similar products could cause an explosion possibly leading to severe bodily injury.
2. After briquettes ash over or turn gray, spread them out and start cooking.
3. If necessary, use tongs to move coals for even heat.

Grill Operation & Tips

• Control heat with amount and type of fuel, dual dampers, and adjustable fire grate. Adjust fire grate one end at a time. Wood burns hotter than coals. More airflow helps generate more heat.

• To reduce flare-ups, cook with lid closed and in the down position.

• Add water soaked hardwood chips for a smoked flavor.

• Ashes left in grill too long between uses will absorb moisture and will cause rust. Be sure to empty
  ash after grill has cooled. Uncoated steel and cast-iron WILL RUST WHEN NOT PROPERLY CARED FOR.

• Do not use self-starting charcoal as it will give unnatural flavor.

• After each use, coat vegetable oil on the interior grates and bare metal while warm to reduce rust.

• On the EXTERIOR, remove rust with wire brush and touch up with a high heat paint, available at most hardware/auto stores.

• You may place a metal can on bottom shelf under the hole in the grill to catch drippings.

• Heat gauge may retain moisture, which will steam out during cooking. Gauge can be removed and calibrated in oven.

• You may fill unwanted holes with Nuts & Bolts (Not Provided).
  NOTE: Smoke may escape from areas other than the smokestack. This will not affect cooking.

Finishing Up

When you are finished grilling, 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. Be patient. This may take an hour or more.

Emptying the Ashes & Ash Pan:

ONLY EMPTY ASHES ONCE GRILL IS NOT IN USE AND COOL TO THE TOUCH
DO NOT EMPY ASHES DURING GRILL USE OR WHEN GRILL IS HOT

Wait until after the fire is completely extinguished and the grill is cool to the touch before emptying the ashes to ensure they are not still hot and a burn hazard.

1. Remove grates from grill with grate lifter.
2. Remove ash pan from grill.
3. Give the ash pan a few firm taps to loosen any ash that may be stuck.
4. Dump the ashes in a metal container and cover with water to ensure there are no lit coals then you can dispose of the ashes.

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 RECIPES

Know Your Cuts of Meat

Direct Heat

• Direct Heat is a high heat method used to cook foods that take less than 25 minutes to cook. Typically, this means foods that are relatively small or thin such as steaks, chops, boneless chicken breasts, fish fillets, hamburgers, etc.
• Cooking with a MEAT THERMOMETER ensures food is fully cooked. Insert into the thickest part not touching bone, and allow five minutes to register.
• Internal temperatures for FOWL should be 170°F to 180°F.
• Internal temperature for meat should be 140°F for rare, 160°F medium, and 170°F for well done.

STEAK ( & ALL MEATS):

• Cook food directly above coals/heat.
• To grill meats, raise fire grate to high position (hot) and sear for one minute on each side with the lidopen to seal in flavor and juices. Then lower fire grate to medium position with lid closed and cook to desired doneness.
• Control heat with dual dampers and adjustable fire grate.

Tip: Place grilled meat back in the marinade for several minutes before serving – it will become tastier and juicier.
CAUTION: Boil extra marinade first to kill bacteria remaining from the raw meat.

MARINATED FLANK STEAK:

• Mix marinade ingredients in nonmetal dish.
• Let steak stand in marinade for no less than 4 hours in refrigerator.
