Operation
LIGHTING YOUR GRILL
Is it the very first time? Perform a Burn-off
Add fuel to the grill and keep it red hot for 30 minutes with the lid and base
vents fully open. It is normal for the grill to emit an odor the first time it
is lit. This odor is caused by the “burn-off” of internal paints and
lubricants used in the manufacturing process and will not occur again.
Use either the Charcoal Starter (not included) and follow the instructions
included in the manual, OR place lighter cubes or lightly crumpled newspaper
on and around the air deflector.
Place the charcoal in a cone shaped pile in the center of the unit (direct
cooking method), or the optional charcoal baskets (indirect method). NOTE: Do
not cook before the charcoal has a coating of ash.
How to use the Charcoal Starter
-
See “Charcoal Starter Safe Operating Practices” for best practices on how to use the Charcoal Starter in a safe manner.
-
Turn the Charcoal Starter upside down.
-
Crumple two full sheets of newspaper and stuff them into the bottom of the Charcoal Starter.
-
Turn the Charcoal Starter right side up and place it in the center of the charcoal grate.
-
Add appropriate amount of charcoal, but do not over fill.
-
Light a match and insert into one of the bottom air vents to ignite the newspaper.
-
Put on protective gloves (minimum thermal protection Class II, DIN EN 407).
When the top layer of charcoal has a light coating of gray ash, carefully pour the hot charcoal onto the charcoal grate (direct cooking method), or place into the charcoal baskets (indirect method). -
Once the hot charcoal is placed into the grill, spread the charcoal out evenly using tongs with long heat resistant handles.
WARNING! Do not lean over grill when lighting charcoal.
WARNING! Starter fluid can be used to light the charcoal, but it is not
the preferred method. It can be messy and may leave a chemical taste on the
food if not completely burned off prior to cooking
Operating Bottom Vent and Ash Bucket
Lid vents on a covered grill are usually left open to allow air into the
grill. Air increases the burning temperature of the coals.
You can regulate the coals burn rate by moving the vent handle to the right
(Open) or left (Closed).
Closing the vents either partially or completely will help to cool down the
coals.
Do not completely close the air vents and the lid vent unless you are trying
to cool down or extinguish a flame.
The Ash bucket can be removed as needed during and after operation to dispose
any charcoal deposits. See “Disposing of Charcoal and Ash” in the “Cleaning
Instructions”. GRILLING PRO TIP!
Use barbecue mitts, or hot pads to protect hands while cooking or adjusting
the vents.
Operating the Chimney vents
The Chimney vent is used to control the internal temperature of the grill.
This is usually left open in order for smoke to escape and fine tune the
temperature of the grill when the lid is closed.
You can regulate the grill’s temperature by moving the vent handle to the
right (Closed) or left (Open). GRILLING PRO TIP!
It’s best to control temperature by using the different settings on the bottom
vent. The top vent should be positioned either fully open or fully closed.
WARNING! Always wear protective gloves when using the Charcoal Starter
for your grill.
WARNING! Do not locate in windy settings. High winds adversely affect the
cooking performance of the grill.
GRILLING INSTRUCTIONS
Grilling with Charcoal
Charcoal is the traditional way of cooking that produces fabulous flavors. The
glowing briquettes emit infrared energy to the food being cooked, which has
very little drying effect.
Any juices or oils that escape from the food drip down onto the charcoal and
vaporize into smoke giving the food its delicious grilled taste. Napoleon’s
charcoal grill produces searing heat for juicier, tastier steaks, hamburgers,
and other meats. For cooking times and tips refer to the “Charcoal Grilling
Guide”.
As a general rule, plan on using about 50 briquettes to cook 2 lb. (1kg) of
meat, or 100 briquettes to cook 4 lb. (2kg) of meat. If cooking for more than
30 to 40 minutes, additional briquettes must be added to the fire. When the
weather is cold you will need more briquettes to reach ideal cooking
temperatures. Longer cooking times will require addional charcoal.
Use caution when adding charcoal to the grill. Flames may flare up when coals
come in contact with fresh air. Stand back a safe distance and use a long-
handled heat-resistant cooking tongs to add charcoal briquettes.
Additional smoke flavor can be achieved by adding smoker chips, which are
available in a variety of flavors through your Napoleon dealer.
SAFETY FIRST
Never cover more than 75% of cooking surface with any solid metal (e.g.
griddles or pans).
Charcoal Usage
Charcoal recommendations are approximate.
Longer cooking times require additional charcoal.
Model| Cooking Method| Lump Charcoal Weight Recommendation|
Br. Charcoal Recommendation (Maximum Pieces)| Additional Charcoal
+1hour
---|---|---|---|---
PRO18K / NK18K| Direct Grilling| 0.80 kg| 40| 8 per side
PRO22K / NK22K| Direct Grilling| 0.98 kg| 50| 8 per side
Indirect Grilling| 0.49 kg| 25 per side| 8 per side
DID YOU KNOW?
There are flaps on either side of the cooking grid that provide access to the
glowing charcoal (if applicable).
WARNING! Ash pan must be in place during lighting and anytime during use.
WARNING! Once lit, never add additional starter fluid to the grill. Store
the bottle at least 25 ft. (7.6m) away from the grill when operating. Once
charcoal is ignited, no more fluid is required.
WARNING! Use caution when adding charcoal to the grill. Flames may flare
up when coals come in contact with fresh air. Stand back a safe distance and
use long-handled, heat-resistant cooking tongs to add additional charcoal.
Using the Grill
-
We recommend preheating the grill with the lid closed for approximately 20 minutes.
-
The coals are ready when they have a light coating of gray ash.
-
Food cooked for short periods of time such as fish and vegetables can be grilled with the lid open.
-
Cooking with the lid closed ensures higher and more even temperatures that will reduce cooking time, and cook the food more uniformly.
NOTE: To minimize heat loss when checking food temperature, use the temperature probe doors located at the side of the appliance. -
When cooking very lean meat such as chicken breast or lean pork, the grids can be oiled before preheating to reduce sticking.
-
Cooking meat with a high degree of fat content may create flare-ups. Either trim the fat, or reduce temperatures to inhibit this.
-
Should a flare-up occur, move food away from flames and reduce the heat (reduce vent opening). Leave the lid open until flare-up is controlled.
GRILLING PRO TIP!
Use a thermometer to check the internal temperature of meat to ensure it is
cooked perfectly.
Direct Grilling
This method is often used for searing, or food cooked for only a short time
such as hamburgers, steaks, chicken, or vegetables.
Place food on the cooking grids directly over the heat.
Sear meat first to trap-in the juices and flavor.
Lower the grill temperature to finish cooking to your preference or placing the
food in the indirect cooking zone of the grill to finish cooking
Indirect Grilling
This method uses lower temperatures and circulates heat around the food
cooking it slowly and evenly. Use this method to cook larger cuts of meat, or
food prone to flare-ups such as roast, chicken, or turkey.
Place food on the cooking grid where there is no direct heat from underneath.
Grilling at a lower temperature and cooking for a longer duration without
direct heat from underneath will result in more tender meats.
Adjusting Grid Height
Note: PRO22K and PRO18K only.
The height of the cooking grid can be adjusted to 3 different levels to
accommodate cooking needs. This can be adjusted by lifting and turning the
cooking grid clockwise or counter clockwise while using the handles.
The lowest level is best for searing (it’s closest to the coals).
The middle for standard cooking.
The Highest level is best for slow cooking or keeping food warm by leaving the
lid open.
CAUTION! Do not adjust the cooking grid while in operation or hot.
WARNING! Never place your hands inside the grill when adjusting the
charcoal tray. Keep hands and fingers away from lifting mechanism at all times.
WARNING! Use caution when adding charcoal to the grill. Flames may flare
up when coals come in contact with fresh air.
WARNING! Stand back a safe distance and use long-handled, heat-resistant
cooking tongs to add additional charcoal.
WARNING! Never leave coals and ashes unattended in grill.
HOW TO USE THE ROTISSERIE
Assembling Your Rotisserie Kit (if equipped)
Note: PRO22K and PRO18K only.
-
Install the rotisserie motor on the side of the grill using the mounting bracket(s). Once the bracket has been fastened to the grill, slide the rotisserie motor onto the bracket.
-
Slide the first rotisserie fork just past the middle of the spit rod and tighten into place. Thread the meat onto the spit rod and push the meat into the fork. Slide the second rotisserie fork on the opposite end of the spit rod and push the fork into the meat until secure. Tighten the fork into place, then slide the counterweight onto the spit rod.
-
Carefully insert the pointed end of the spit rod through the opening of the bottom bowl and into the rotisserie motor.
Set the opposite end across the hangers. The heavy side of the meat will naturally hang down, therefore adjust the counterweight accordingly to balance the load. Tighten the counterweight with the arm facing up. -
Slide the stop bushing onto the spit rod until it is past the inside of the hood. This will secure the side to side movemenof the spit rod.
-
Tighten the stop bushing and spit rod handle. Place a metal dish under the meat to collect the drippings.
IMPORTANT! Always wear gloves when handling components of the grill.
Tips about using the Rotisserie:
- Use a thermometer to check the internal temperature of the meat.
- Roasts and poultry should brown on the outside and stay tender on the inside.
- Use drippings to baste and make gravy.
- A 3-pound chicken takes approximately 1 ½ hours on medium to high.
- Be mindful of your rotisserie motor capacity. Never overload your equipment.
- Be sure to always set an evenly balanced load on your rotisserie.
How to cook multiple chickens
- Tie or skewer wings to the body of the chickens.
- Slide rotisserie fork onto spit rod.
- Thread first chicken onto spit rod until it is held into place by the rotisserie fork. Tighten.
- Thread next 2 chickens onto spit rod so all the chickens are close together.
- Slide second rotisserie fork onto spit rod and push into chicken until all 3 chickens are squeezed together tightly. Tighten.
DID YOU KNOW?
You can remove the cooking grids if they interfere with cooking larger cuts of
meat.
WARNING! Disassemble rotisserie components when finished cooking, wash
with warm soapy water, and store indoors.
WARNING! Use heat resistant grilling gloves when handling the hot
rotisserie components.

WARNING! Always wear protective gloves and safety glasses when cleaning
your grill.
WARNING! Accumulated grease is a fire hazard.
WARNING! Cleaning should only be done when the grill is cool to avoid the
possibility of burns.
WARNING! Ensure grill is cool before cleaning. Do not use oven cleaner to
clean any part of the grill. Do not put cooking grids or any other parts of
the grill in a self-cleaning oven to clean. Clean grill in area where cleaning
solution won’t harm decks, lawns, or patios.
Maintenance Instructions
Ash pan
- Ashes, grease, and excess drippings collect in the ash pan located beneath the charcoal grill and accumulate. Slide the pan free of the grill to clean.
- Never line the inside of the grill with aluminum foil, sand or any other material. This can prevent grease from flowing properly.
- The ash pan should be scraped out with a plastic putty knife or scraper. Brush all debris into a non-combustible metal container.
- Wash the ash pan with mild detergent and water.
- Rinse well with clear water and wipe dry.
IMPORTANT! It is recommended the ash pan be emptied out after each use once the grill cool.
Hinge adjustment
- Close the lid.
- Using the T25 Torx key provided, loosen the 4 Torx screws enough that the hinge can move up and down slightly.
- Make sure the lid is sitting evenly on the stainless riser ring.
- Retighten the screws using the T25 Torx key.
Aluminum Castings
Clean with warm soapy water.
Aluminum doesn’t rust, but high temperatures and weathering can cause
oxidization on the surface of the castings that look like white spots.
STAINLESS IN HARSH ENVIRONMENTS
Stainless steel oxidizes or stains in the presence of chlorides and sulfides,
especially in coastal regions, warm and highly humid areas, and around pools
and hot tubs. These stains look like rust, but they can be easily removed or
prevented. Wash stainless and chrome surfaces every 3-4 weeks.
Clean with warm soapy water.
Outside grill surface
- Only use a stainless steel non-abrasive cleaner or water. Abrasive cleaners or steel wool will scratch the finish on any painted, porcelain, or stainless parts of your grill.
- Always wipe in the direction of the grain.
- Handle porcelain enamel components with care.
- The baked-on enamel finish is glass-like and will chip if struck. Touch up enamel is available at your Napoleon Grill dealer.
- Stainless steel parts discolor over time when heated and will turn a golden or brown hue. This is normal and won’t affect the performance of the grill.
SAFETY FIRST!
Always wear protective gloves and safety glasses when servicing your grill.
WARNING! Do not use pressure washer or hose to clean any part of the
grill.
WARNING! Do not use abrasive cleaners or steel wool on any painted,
porcelain, or stainless steel parts of your grill.
WARNING! Barbecue sauce and salt can be corrosive and will cause rapid
deterioration of the grill components unless cleaned regularly.
Troubleshooting
Flare-ups and Uneven Heat
- Grill will not light.
- Low heat or low flame.
Possible causes | Solution |
---|---|
Improper preheating. | Allow charcoal to burn until covered with a light gray |
ash.
(Approximately 20 minutes).
Not enough airflow.| Open vents.
Low charcoal.| Add more charcoal to the charcoal tray.
Improper charcoal tray location.| Raise charcoal tray to highest position.
Excessive grease and ash build up in ash/drip pan.| Clean ash/drip pan
regularly. Do not line pan with aluminum foil. Refer to “Maintenance
Instructions.”
Peeling paint
- Paint appears to be peeling inside lid or hood.
Possible causes | Solution |
---|---|
Grease build-up on inside surfaces. | This is not a defect. The finish on the |
lid and hood is porcelain, and will not peel. The peeling is caused by hardened grease, which dries into paint-like shards, that flake off. Regular cleaning will prevent this. See “Maintenance Instructions”.
