PREPARATION FOR USE
READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
BEFORE OPERATING YOUR GRILL.
Prior to your first use of the Brinkmann Deluxe Professional Charcoal Grill,
follow the in struc tions below carefully to cure your grill. Curing your grill will
minimize damage to the exterior finish as well as rid the grill of paint odor that
can impart unnatural flavors to the first meal prepared on your Brinkmann
Deluxe Professional Charcoal Grill.
IMPORTANT: To protect your grill from excessive rust, the unit must be
properly cured and covered at all times when not in use. A cover
for your Deluxe Professional Charcoal Grill may be ordered
directly from Brinkmann by calling 800-468-5252.
Step 1
Lightly coat all interior surfaces of the Deluxe Professional Charcoal Grill
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 Deluxe Professional Charcoal Grill (see "Adding
Charcoal/Wood During Cooking" section of this manual).
WARNING: Never use charcoal that has been pre-treated with lighter fluid.
Use only a high grade plain charcoal or charcoal/wood mixture.
If using a Charcoal Chimney Starter, follow all manufacturer's warn ings and
instructions regarding the use of their product. Start with 5 to 6 pounds of
charcoal. This should be enough charcoal to cook with, once the curing
process has been completed. When charcoal is burning strong, carefully
place hot coals in center of charcoal grate.
WARNING: DO NOT use grill without charcoal ash tray in place. DO NOT
attempt to remove charcoal ash tray while tray contains hot
coals.
NOTE: To extend the life of your grill, make sure that hot coals and wood do
not touch the walls of grill.
IF USING CHARCOAL CHIMNEY STARTER, PROCEED TO STEP 5
If you choose to use charcoal lighting fluid, ONLY use charcoal light ing fluid

other flammable material for lighting charcoal. Follow all manufacturer's
warnings and instructions regarding the use of their product. Start with 5 to
6 pounds of charcoal. This should be enough charcoal to cook with, once
the curing process has been completed. Place the charcoal in center of
