cooking wood.
First Use

2. Remove manufacturing oils before cooking on this grill for the first time, by operating the
grill at least 15 minutes with the lid closed. This will "heat clean" the internal parts and
dissipate odors.

Make sure lid is open until charcoal turns to hot coals.

3. Remove cooking grid.
4. Arrange and light fuel per instructions on fuel package.
5. Allow fuel time to ash into glowing coals before cooking.

than 25 minutes of grill time, such as steaks, hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken parts, vegetables
and fruit.

coals with long-handled tool.
