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 15 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

Seasoning and Preparing the Grill
IMPORTANT! BEFORE YOU USE YOUR GRILL FOR THE FIRST TIME
YOU MUST SEASON THE CAST IRON COOKING GRATE.
Before you use your grill it is important to season it. Seasoning will burn off coating used to protect your
grill during shipping and help protect your cast iron grates from rusting while preparing them for use.
1. Wash your cooking grates in warm soapy water.
2. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely with a towel. DO NOT AIR DRY. NEVER PUT YOUR
COOKING GRATE OR ANY PART OF YOUR GRILL IN YOUR DISHWASHER.
3. Once your cooking grate is dry apply a coating of vegetable oil or shortening to your cooking grate,
be sure to coat both sides thoroughly.
4. 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. For best results, we recommend using Lump Charcoal.
5. After coals ash over, spread out coals, replace cooking grates, close lid and heat at approximately
400° F for an hour. This process will burn off any residue left from shipping and manufacturing as
well as season your cast iron cooking grate.
6. Seasoning should be done periodically to lengthen the life of your cooking grate.
TIP: Clean grates while warm using gloves and a baseball-sized aluminum foil ball.
