IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS
WE WANT YOU TO ASSEMBLE AND USE YOUR GRILL AS SAFELY AS POSSIBLE.
THE PURPOSE OF THIS SAFETY ALERT SYMBO L
IS TO ATTRACT YOUR ATTENTION TO POSSIBLE HAZARDS AS YOU ASSEMBLE AND USE YOUR GRILL.
WHEN YOU SEE THE SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL, PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE INFORMATION THAT FOLLOWS!
READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE ASSEMBLING AND OPERATING YOUR GRILL.

WARNING

  • Only use this grill on a hard, level, non-combustible, stable surface (concrete, ground, etc.) capable of supporting the weight of the grill. Never use on wooden or other surfaces that could burn.

  • Proper clearance of 10 feet between the grill and combustible material (bushes, trees, wooden decks, fences, buildings, etc.) or construction should be maintained at all times when the grill is in use. Do not place the grill under a roof overhang or other enclosed area.

  • For household use only. Do not use this grill for other than its intended purpose.

  • For outdoor use only. Do not operate grill indoors or in an enclosed area.

  • Use caution when assembling and operating your grill to avoid scrapes or cuts from sharp edges of metal parts.

  • We recommend the use of a Charcoal Chimney Starter to avoid the dangers associated with charcoal lighting fluid. If you choose to use charcoal lighting fluid, only use lighting fluid approved for lighting charcoal. Carefully read the manufacturer’s warnings and instructions on the charcoal lighting fluid and charcoal prior to the use of their product. Store charcoal lighting fluid safely away from the grill.

  • When using charcoal lighting fluid, allow charcoal to burn with the grill lid and dampers open until covered with light ash (approximately 20 minutes). This will allow charcoal lighting fluid to burn off. Failure to do this could trap fumes from charcoal lighting fluid in the grill and may result in a flash fire or explosion when the lid is opened.

  • Never use charcoal that has been pre-treated with lighter fluid. Use only a high-grade plain charcoal or charcoal/wood mixture.

  • 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.

  • Never add charcoal lighting fluid to hot or even warm coals as flashback may occur causing severe burns.
    Place the grill in an area where children and pets cannot come into contact with the unit. Close supervision is necessary when
    the grill is in use.

  • Do not leave a grill unattended when in use.

  • When adding charcoal and/or wood, use extreme caution and follow instructions in the “Adding Charcoal/Wood During Cooking” section of this manual.

  • Never move the grill when it is in use or when it contains hot coals or ashes.

  • Do not store or use grill near gasoline or other flammable liquids, gases or where flammable vapours may be present.

  • When grilling, grease from meat may drip into the charcoal and cause a grease fire. If this should happen close lid and side air vents to suffocate the flame. Do not use water to extinguish grease fires.

  • Use caution since flames can flare up when fresh air suddenly comes in contact with fire. When opening the lid, keep hands, face and body a safe distance from hot steam and flame flare-ups.

  • Do not exceed a temperature of 400°F. Do not allow charcoal and/or wood to rest on the walls of the grill. Doing so will greatly reduce the life of the metal and finish of your grill.

  • Do not wear loose clothing or allow hair to hang freely while using the grill.

  • Use caution when reaching into or under grill. Always wear oven mitts or gloves to protect your hands from burns. Avoid touching hot surfaces.

  • When opening the lid, make sure it is pushed all the way back so it rests against the lid support brackets. If lid is not resting against support brackets, it could fall back to a closed position and cause bodily injury.

  • In windy weather, place the grill in an outdoor area that is protected from the wind.

  • Close the lid and all air vents to suffocate the flame.

  • Never leave coals and ashes in the grill unattended. Before the grill can be left unattended, the remaining coals and ashes must be removed from grill. Use caution to protect yourself and your property. Carefully place the remaining coals and ashes in a non-combustible metal container and saturate them completely with water. Allow coals and water to remain in a metal container 24 hours prior to disposal.

  • Extinguished coals and ashes should be placed a safe distance from all structures and combustible materials.

  • With a garden hose, completely wet the surface beneath and around grill to extinguish any ashes, coals or embers which may have fallen during the cooking or cleaning process.

  • After each use, clean the grill thoroughly and reapply a light coat of oil to the interior to prevent rusting. Cover the grill to protect it from excessive rusting.

  • Use caution when lifting or moving the grill to prevent strains and back injuries.

  • We advise that a fire extinguisher be on hand. Refer to your local authority to determine the proper size and type of fire extinguisher.

  • Accessory attachments not manufactured by The Brinkmann Corporation for this particular product are not recommended and may lead to personal injury or property damage.

  • Store the grill out of reach of children and in a dry location when not in use.

  • Do not attempt to service the grill other than normal maintenance as explained in the “After-Use Safety” and “Proper Care & Maintenance” sections of this manual. Repairs should be performed by The Brinkmann Corporation only.

    NOTE: Do not fully close side air vents and lid unless trying to cool the grill down or suffocate a flame.

  • Step 8
    By closing the side air vents more, the burning intensity is slowed and smoke is contained within the grill, imparting more smoke flavour to food. The ideal smoking temperature is between 175°F and 250°F or “IDEAL” reading on the heat gauge.

  • Step 9
    For large cuts of meat, allow approximately one hour of cooking time per pound of meat. Always use a meat thermometer to ensure food is fully cooked before removing it from the grill.

  • Step 10
    Allow grill to cool completely, then follow instructions in the “After-Use Safety” and “Proper Care & Maintenance” sections of this manual.

Smoke Cooking Tips

  • During the smoking process, avoid the temptation to open lid to check food. Opening the lid allows heat and smoke to escape, making addi-tional cooking time necessary.
  • Food closest to the charcoal will cook and brown faster. Rotate food midway through the cooking cycle. If food is excessively browned or flavored with smoke, wrap food in aluminum foil after the first few hours of smoking. This will allow food to continue
  • cooking without further browning or smoke flavoring.
  • When cooking fish or extra lean cuts of meat, you may want to try water smoking to keep the food moist. Before starting a fire, place charcoal tray to lowest level. Use a flat bottom metal pan shallow enough to fit between charcoal grate and cooking grill as a
  • water pan. Set the metal pan on charcoal grate under food and cooking grill. Fill with water or marinade until q full. Build your fire on the opposite side of water pan.

CAUTION: Always use oven mitts/gloves to protect your hands. Liquidin water pan will be extremely hot and can scald or burn. Always allow liquid to cool completely before handling. Do not allow liquid to completely evaporate from water pan.

Grilling/Searing

  • Step 1
    Lightly coat all interior surfaces of the Grill King including cooking grill with vegetable oil or vegetable oil spray. Do not coat charcoal grate or charcoal tray.

  • Step 2
    Follow the instructions below carefully to build a fire. You may use charcoal and/or wood as fuel in the Grill King (see “Adding Charcoal/Wood During Cooking” section of this manual).

    WARNING: Always wear oven mitts/gloves when adjusting cooking levels to protect your hands from burns.
    NOTE: Do not fully close side air vents and lid unless trying to cool the grill down or suffocate a flame.

  • Step 6

  • Place food on cooking grill and close grill lid. Adjust the side air vents to regulate cooking temperature.

  • Step 7
    By closing the side air vents more, the burning intensity is slowed. Always use a meat thermometer to ensure food is fully cooked before removing from grill.

  • Step 8
    Allow grill to cool completely, then follow instructions in the “After- Use Safety” and “Proper Care & Maintenance” sections of this manual.

Flavoring Wood

  • To obtain your favorite smoke flavor, experiment by using chunks, sticks or chips of flavor producing wood such as hickory, pecan, apple, cherry, or mesquite. Most fruit or nut tree wood may be used for smoke flavoring. Do not use resinous wood such as pine
  • as it will produce an unpleasant taste.
  • Wood chunks or sticks 3″ to 4″ long and 1″ to 2″ thick work best. Unless the wood is still green, soak the wood in water for 30 minutes or wrap each piece in foil and tear several small holes in the foil to pro-duce more smoke and prevent the wood from burning
  • too quickly. A lot of wood is not required to obtain a good smoke flavor. A recommended amount for the Grill King is 5 to 6 wood chunks or sticks. Experiment by using more wood for stronger smoke flavor or less wood for milder smoke flavor.
  • Additional flavoring wood should not have to be added during the cooking process. However, it may be necessary when cooking very large pieces of food. Follow instructions and cautions in the “Adding Charcoal/Wood During Cooking” section of this manual
  • to avoid injury while adding wood.

Regulating Heat

To increase heat and air circulation, fully open side air vents. If increased air circulation does not raise temperature sufficiently, more wood and/or charcoal may be needed. Follow instructions in “Adding Charcoal/Wood During Cooking” section of this manual.
To maintain the temperature, more wood and/or charcoal may need to be added during the cooking cycle.

NOTE: Dry wood burns hotter than charcoal, so you may want toincrease the ratio of wood to charcoal to increase the cooking temperature. Hardwood such as oak, hickory, mesquite, fruit and nut wood are an excellent fuel because of their burning rate. When using wood as fuel, make sure the wood is seasoned and dry. DO NOT use resinous wood such as pine as it will produce an unpleasant taste.

Adding Charcoal/Wood During Cooking

Additional charcoal and/or wood may be required to maintain or increase cooking temperature.

  • Step 1
    Stand back and carefully open grill lid. Use caution since flames can flare-up when fresh air suddenly comes in contact with fire.

  • Step 2
    Fully close lower side air vents to prevent embers from falling through.

  • Step 3
    Wearing oven mitts/gloves, remove food from cooking grill. Place charcoal tray on bottom of cooking chamber by removing charcoal tray adjusters from cooking grill. Remove cooking grill.

  • Step 4
    Stand back a safe distance and use long cooking tongs to lightly brush aside ashes on hot coals. Use cooking tongs to add charcoal and/or wood to charcoal grate, being careful not to stir-up ashes and sparks. If necessary, use your Charcoal Chimney Starter to
    light additional charcoal and/or wood and add to existing fire.

  • WARNING : Never add charcoal lighting fluid to hot or even warm coals as flashback may occur causing severe burnsStep 5
    When charcoal is burning strong again, wear oven mitts/gloves and carefully place cooking grill on top of grill support brackets. Use charcoal tray adjusters to position cooking grill to desired cooking level and replace food.

  • Step 6
    Close the grill lid, open the lower side air vents and allow food to continue cooking.

AFTER-USE SAFETY

WARNING

  • Close the lid and all dampers to extinguish fire.
  • Always allow the grill and all components to cool completely before handling.
  • Never leave coals and ashes in the grill unattended. Make sure coals and ashes are completely extinguished before removing them.
  • Before grill can be left unattended, remaining coals and ashes must be removed from the grill. Use caution to protect yourself and your property. Place the remaining coals and ashes in a non-combustible metal container and completely saturate with water. Allow coals and water to remain in a metal container 24 hours prior to disposal.
  • Extinguished coals and ashes should be placed at a safe distance from all structures and combustible materials.
  • With a garden hose, a completely wet surface beneath and around the grill to extinguish any ashes, coals or embers which may have fallen during the cooking or cleaning process.
  • Cover and store grill in a protected area away from children and pets.

Proper Care & Maintenance

  • Cure your grill periodically throughout the year to protect
    against excessive rust.

  • To protect your grill from excessive rust, the unit must be properly cured and covered at all times when not in use. A smoker cover may be ordered directly from Brinkmann by calling 1-800-468-5252.

  • Wash cooking grill and charcoal grate with hot, soapy water, rinse well and dry. Lightly coat the grill with vegetable oil or vegetable oil spray.

  • Clean the inside and outside of the grill by wiping off with a damp cloth. Apply a light coat of vegetable oil or vegetable oil spray to the interior surface to prevent rusting. Do not coat charcoal grate or charcoal tray.

  • If rust appears on the exterior surface of your grill, clean and buff the affected area with steel wool or fine grit emery cloth. Touch-up with good quality high-temperature resistant paint.

  • Never apply paint to the interior surface. Rust spots on the interior surface can be buffed, cleaned, and then lightly coated with vegetable oil or vegetable oil spray to minimize rusting.

Chicken and Turkey Racks
These chromed steel racks hold a chicken, cornish hen, duck or turkey upright and are ideal for smoking or oven-roasting poultry. The race allows the meat to cook from the inside as well as from the outside. This speeds up cooking time, seals in flavorful juices and promotes even browning of skin. It’s a lower-fat way to cook poultry because excess fat drips off the meat.  When oven roasting, place poultry on a rack in a shallow pan of water to steam baste to tender perfection. When smoking, simply place poultry
on rack atop the grill. Make carving easier, too.
