OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Setting Up

Set grill up on solid, flat surface with adequate wind shelter. Do not move grill while hot, and do not leave unattended during operation.

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 12 feet (366 cm) from the side or rear of the appliance. It is important that the ventilation openings of the appliance are not obstructed. The barbecue 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).

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. Build a medium sized fire 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 oven mitts, 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.

C-1

Lighting Instructions

1. To start a charcoal fire, stack 50-60 briquettes in a pyramid and saturate with lighter fluid.
   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. Light coals in several places

3. After briquettes ash over or turn gray, spread them out and start cooking

4. If one end burns faster, use tongs to move coals from one end to the other for even heat.

Grill Operation & Tips

• Control heat with amount and type of fuel, Dual dampers, and adjustable fire grate. Adjust grate one end at a time. Wood burns hotter than coals. More airflow is more heat.
• To reduce flare-ups, cook with lid in the down position.
• Add water soaked hardwood chips for a smoked flavor.
• Ashes left in bottom too long hold moisture and will rust through any thickness of steel. This grill is made of steel and cast iron, which WILL RUST, ESPECIALLY IF NOT PROPERLY CARED FOR.
• Do not use self-starting charcoal as it will give unnatural flavor. Burn lighter fluid completely before closing lid.
• After each use, coat vegetable oil on the interior grates and bare metal while warm to reduce rust
• On the EXTERIOR, remove dust with wire brush and touch up with a high heat paint, available at most hardware/auto stores.
• You may place a coffee can on bottom shelf under the hole in the grill to catch drippings.
• Heat guage may obtain 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 should not affect cooking.

C-2

Finishing Up

When your are finished grilling you can shut down your grill by closing both dampers and allowing the fire to suffocate. Be patient. This may take an hour or more.

Emptying the Ashes & Ash Pan:

ONLY EMPTY ASHES WHILE GRILL IS NOT IS USE

After the fire is completely extinguished you should wait several hours before emptying the ashes to ensure they are not still hot and a burn hazard.

1. Knock any ashes that did not fall into the ash pan from the fire grate. (If there are pieces of partially burned charcoal on the fire grate you can save them for next time. They are still good).
2. Tap the sides of the fire bowl to knock loose any ash that is on the sides.
3. Unclip the ash pan from the bottom of the grill and slide out towards the front.
4. Give the ash pan a few firm taps to loosen any ash that may be stuck.
5. Place 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.

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 lid open 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.
• Brown each side for 5 minutes, but center should remain rare.
