Operating Instructions
PRE-SEASONING
Pre-seasoning will rid your grill of chemicals and oils left over by the manufacturing process, allowing them to burn off. PRE-SEASON GRILL PRIOR TO FIRST USE.
1. Fill the hopper with charcoal approximately 1/4­1/2 full. 2. Start grill following the START-UP instructions and set the temperature to 250°F (121°C) for 60 minutes. 3. Set the temperature to 400°F (204°C) for 30 minutes. 4. Shut down the grill following the SHUTDOWN instructions. 5. Allow grill to cool COMPLETELY. 6. Repeat steps 3­6 at 350°F (177°C)
Frequent seasoning prevents rusting. If rusting occurs, clean with a steel brush, apply vegetable shortening and heat as indicated above.

START-UP
1. OPEN heat and air intake slides.

2. Open hopper lid and hopper ash door. · There is a safety switch at each of these doors that will prevent the fan from running when these doors are opened. · If charcoal remains from a previous cook, shake the charcoal grate to ensure all ash falls through to the ash tray. · Discard any ash from the ash tray.

3. Fill hopper with charcoal. · Approximately 18 lbs. (8 kgs.) of charcoal briquettes. · Approximately 12 lbs. (5.5 kgs.) of lump charcoal. · Never use fast light charcoal or lighting fluid. · If charcoal slips through charcoal grate into ash can, remove before starting.

4. Place fire starter in charcoal grate, light fire starter, and wait 1-2minutes to ensure fire starter catches fire. · Use a food safe fire starter block or twisted paper towel/paper. · Place in charcoal grate on the fire starter support bars. · Use caution and wear protective gloves. · Light with match stick or lighter.

Note: Fire starter will be placed here.

5. Turn on controller and set to desired temperature. · Light the fire starter before setting temperature. · Wait 1­2 minutes after lighting fire starter to ensure fire starter is fully lit.

6. Wait for grill to reach desired set temperature. · Grill should preheat in approximately 15 minutes.

HEAT AND AIR INTAKE SLIDES
TO START : Slide the intake slides into the “open” position
TO SHUTDOWN: Slide the intake slides into the “closed” position

Operating Instructions
RELOAD
If it is necessary to refill the hopper while cooking, follow the safe reloading instructions below. 1. DO NOT refill charcoal when the grill is above 250°F (121°C) 2. The fan will turn off when you open the hopper lid or ash door. This is a safety feature of the grill. 3. USE EXTREME CAUTION: When the hopper lid is opened the flame will rise from the top of the hopper like
a torch. Closing the hopper lid and ash door will return the flame to the normal operating level. 4. Open hopper lid, use and wear protective gloves. Hopper lid will be hot. 5. Quickly add more charcoal into hopper. A flame will rise from hopper after a short time, we recommend
you refill as quickly as possible. 6. Close hopper lid.
ADDING SMOKE/FLAVOR
Mix wood chunks in the hopper with charcoal. NOTE: Never use more than 1.5 lbs (0.68 kg)of wood chunks throughout the hopper.
SHUTDOWN
1. Turn controller off and unplug grill. 2. Close grill lid, hopper lid and ash door. 3. Close heat and air intake slides.
· The grill is designed to starve the charcoal of oxygen when shut down. This allows a percentage of unused charcoal to be saved for the next cook.
4. Failure to close slides when shutting down may cause damage to grill. 5. Always make sure grill is cool to the touch before cleaning, covering, and storing.

CLEANING AND STORAGE

ALWAYS MAKE SURE GRILL IS COOL TO THE TOUCH BEFORE CLEANING AND STORING.

· Inspect hardware and assembled parts on a regular basis to ensure grill is in safe working condition.

· Clean grill and cooking/smoking grates with mild dish detergent. Wipe outside of grill with a damp rag. DO

NOT use oven cleaner or other cleaning agents. Make sure to dry thoroughly.

· Clean the temperature probe (pictured) periodically with mild dish detergent to ensure accurate grill

temperature readings. Makesure to dry thoroughly.

· After ashes are cold, clean ash tray and inside of bottom hopper after every use to remove ash buildup,

residue and dust.

· Always empty the ash tray after each use once ashes have completely cooled. This will help prolong the life

of the ash tray.

· Dispose of cold ashes by placing them in aluminum foil, soaking with

water and discarding in a non-combustible container.

· Always cover and store grill in a protected DRY AREA. Store only when

fire is out and all surfaces are cold. Store meat probes inside the home.

· When grill is not in frequent use, even when using a grill cover, remember to check your grill periodically to avoid possible rust and
