Pre-firing
Before you use the grill for the first time, it needs to be conditioned (pre-fired) for at least 1-2 hours at a temperature of 212 °F-392 °F. This is necessary to make the inside ready for barbecuing and for burn-in of the the heat-resistant paint on the outside. During pre-firing, do not close the cover completely. Only close the cover completely for a few minutes at the end.

Caution: The temperature must never exceed 400 °F.

NEVER EXCEED 400 °F AS THIS WILL DAMAGE THE FINISH AND CONTRIBUTE TO RUST. PAINT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND WILL REQUIRE TOUCH-UP. THE PRODUCT IS NOT WARRANTED AGAINST RUST.

Types of Charcoal
You can burn either charcoal briquettes or natural lump charcoal, which have different attributes. Charcoal briquettes typically provide longer cooking time and are usually less expensive while lump charcoal burns hotter and produces less ash.

Smoking Wood Chips

Tips for Using Wood Chips
A lot of smoke is produced when using wood chips. Smoke can escape through seams and turn the inside of the smoker black. This is normal. Wood chips must be used to produce smoke and create the smoke flavor. Never use more than 1 box of wood chips at a time. Never use wood chunks.
You can use dry or pre-soaked wood chips in your smoker.
Dry chips burn faster and produce more intense smoke.
Chips pre-soaked in water (for approximately 30 minutes) burn slower and produce a less intense smoke.
Check wood chip box periodically to see if wood has burned down. Add more chips as required.

Smoking with wood chips/wood chunks
For a more robust smoke flavor while using charcoal briquettes or lump charcoal, try adding wood chips or several wood chunks to the fire. Wood chunks are available in a variety of natural flavors and can be used alone or in addition to charcoal. As a rule, any hardwood that bears a fruit or nut is suitable for cooking. However, different woods have different tastes. Experiment with different woods to determine your personal favorite, and always use well-seasoned wood. Green or
fresh-cut wood can turn food black and taste bitter.

How to Use

Danger: Risk of burning!
The grill, burning charcoal, charcoal, and the BBQ meat can become extremely hot during use. Any direct contact can result in serious burns.

• Keep sufficient distance from hot parts, as any direct contact can lead to severe burns.
• Always wear oven or BBQ gloves when grilling.
• Use only long-handled utensils with heat-resistant grips.
• Do not wear any clothing with wide sleeves.
• Use only dry lighters or special fluid lighters.

Lighting Your Grill:

1. Open the lid and remove the cooking grates.

2. To start a charcoal fire, stack 4.5 lb. charcoal briquettes into a pyramid-shaped pile and saturate with lighter fluid.
   Do not use gasoline, kerosene, or alcohol for lighting charcoal. Use of any of these or similar products can cause an explosion possibly leading to severe bodily injury.

3. Light the coals in several places.

4. After the briquettes ash over and produce a red glow, spead them evenly across the charcoal pan. Please use a suitable heat-resistant tool with a long, heat-resistant handle when you do this.

5. Put the cooking grates in place and adjust the charcoal pan to the desired height by using the lifting handle/lever and start cooking.

6. If the charcoal is not burning evenly, please use long-handled tongs to move coals for even heat.

7. Leave the lid open or closed based on the type of BBQ meat. Please close the lid when longer cooking time is needed. The thermometer located on the lid shows the temperature to ensure it is not too high for a particular BBQ meat.

Chimney starters, electric starters, or other types of fire starters may be used instead of lighter fluid to light fire but use only according to manufacturer’s instructions.
Never use instant light charcoal or charcoal lighter fluid with any other starting methods.

Allow enough time for grill to heat up before cooking. You can’t cook properly when the grill is cold, and you can’t build a fire properly when you are busy preparing food.

Once the fire is burning well, it is easy to keep it going with a little attention.

Rising heat will move up and out of the grill, open the dampers to allow more fresh air into the grill.
The more air into the grill, the hotter the internal temperature will be until the fuel has been maximized. During cooking, the dampers can be fully open to ensure a higher internal cooking temperature. Close the dampers as needed to decrease the airflow for a lower cooking temprature. Check the heat indicator to monitor the grill temprature.

The adjustable charcoal pan can also be used to control the temperature.
Use the lifting handles to raise the charcoal pan for quick searing and lower it for slow cooking.

Always use a flame-retardant insulated grill mitt when adjusting the air vent or the charcoal pan.

Adding Additional Charcoal
For extended cooking times, additional charcoal can be added through the charcoal pan access door.

Use extreme caution when opening charcoal pan access door or adding charcoal, to avoid injury.

1. Use the lifting handles to lower the charcoal pan to its lowest setting.
2. Open the charcoal pan access door using a flame­retardant insulated grill mitt. (Handle will be extremely hot.) Please take out all the food and put on BBQ gloves, move the cooking grate to add charcoal if the grill doesn’t have a device for adding charcoal. Make sure to move the cooking grate back into position after the procedure.
3. Use flame-retardant insulated grill mitts and long­handled tongs to stoke coals, to make the ash fall through the slots in the charcoal pan or the slide below.
4. Use flame-retardant insulated grill mitts and long­handled tongs to add charcoal to the pan as needed.
5. Raise the charcoal pan to the desired level.

Do not use lighter fluid or instant light charcoal when adding additional charcoal to an existing fire.

This is dangerous and can cause injury. It will also leave a lighter fluid aftertaste on your food. Only add regular charcoal or wood chunks to an existing fire.

Smoking Operation

To light the barbecue by cooking indirectly or smoking foods at low temperature.

1. Open the lid and remove the cooking grates.

2. To start a charcoal fire, stack 4 lb. of charcoal in a pyramid-shaped pile and saturate with lighter fluid.
   Do not use gasoline, kerosene, or alcohol for lighting charcoal. Use of any of these or similar products could cause an explosion and possibly cause severe bodily injury.

3. Light coals in several places.

4. After the briquettes ash over and produce a red glow, place hot charcoals on the cooking grates in the offset smoker if you have one. Place hot charcoals on the middle of the cooking grates. To do this, use a suitable fireproof tool with a long, heat-resistant handle.

5. Place water/drip pan on the right side of the cooking grates in the offset smoker if have one.

6. Place the cooking grates in low position.

7. Add water-soaked hardwood chips for a smoke flavor.

8. Put the cooking grates in place.

9. Close the lid and control heat with the dampers and side door.

Tips for Smoking BBQ
Pans are not included, and a disposable bread pan is recommended. Please purchase it separately.

• If you want to sear certain foods before smoking, please place meat directly above charcoals with the lid open and cooking grates in high (hot) position for several minutes.
• Add flavor-soaked wood chips to the fire and add 1-part marinade, beer, or wine with 3 parts water into the drip pan.
• Open the smoking chamber will extend cooking time.
• Insert the thermometer into the thickest part not touching the bone and allow five minutes to register.
• Internal temperature for fowl should be 170 °F to 180 °For when the leg moves easily in the joint.
• Meat should be cooked until the internal temperature reaches 140 °F for rare, 160 °F for medium, and 170 °F for well-done.
• Check the water level when cooking for more than 4 hours or when you can’t hear the water simmering.
• Add water by turning the meat over and pouring water through the grill into the water pan.

IF THE SMOKE IS WHITE, THE FIRE IS PERFECT.
IF THE SMOKE IS BLACK, YOU NEED MORE AIRFLOW.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Your grill is made of high-quality materials. To clean and maintain the surfaces, please follow the below instructions:

Danger: Risk of burning! Let the grill cool down completely before cleaning
Only tip out the ash when the charcoal has completely burned out.

Danger: Health risk!
Do not use any decolorants or thinners to remove stains. These are harmful to health and must not come into contact with food.

Caution: Risk of damage!
Do not use any strong or grinding solvents or abrasive pads, as they can damage surfaces and leave behind scratch marks.
When you have finished grilling you can shut down your grill by closing both dampers and allowing the fire to extinguish.
Be patient. This may take an hour or more.

Empty the Ashes & Ash tray:
After the fire is completely extinguished you should wait several hours before emptying the ashes to ensure they are not hot, or else there will be risk of burns.

• Knock any ashes that did not fall into the ash tray from the fire grate. (If there are pieces of partially burned charcoal on the charcoal pan you can save them for use the next time. They are still good).
• Tap the sides of the chamber to loosen any ash that is on the sides.
• Unclip the ash tray from the bottom of the grill and slide out towards the front.
• Give the ash tray a few firm taps to loosen any ash that may be stuck.
• Place the ashes in a metal container and fill with water to ensure there are no lit coals, then you can dispose of the ashes.
• Let the charcoal burn out completely after grilling. This eases the cleaning effort by burning away excess fat and BBQ residue.
• Lift out the charcoal pan and empty out the cold ash. It is particularly important that you remove the ash before moisture combines with the cold ash. Ash collects moisture, which can cause premature rusting and decay from the inside of the ash collecting tray. Thus, over years the ash collecting tray can get rusted and damaged.
• Clean the grill regularly and optimally after every use.
• Remove the cooking grates and clean them thoroughly with soapy water. Then dry them off thoroughly.
• Use a wet sponge to remove loose residue from the grill.
• Use a soft, clean cloth for drying. Do not scratch the surfaces when wipe them dry.
• Clean the internal and external surfaces with warm soapy water.
• Tighten all screws before every use to ensure your grill is stable at all times.
• Protect your grill against weather. Since it is manufactured from steel it will gradually rust. Clean possible rust spots and repair them with fireproof paint. It is important that you remove the ash from the firebox before the cold ash collecting moisture as this can lead to rust damage.

The grill should always be stored where it is protected from moisture.

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