General Information
Canopy Thermometers (If Applicable)
Your outdoor grill is equipped with a thermometer
on the canopy. The thermometer is designed
to aide in the preheating of the grill and
closed canopy grilling. The estimated cooking
temperatures with the canopy closed are:
WARM 150˚F (65˚C)
COLD SMOKE 150˚F — 200˚F (65˚C — 93˚C)
SMOKE 200˚F — 300˚F (93˚C — 149˚C)
GRILL 300˚F — 750˚F (149˚C — 399˚C)

Note: The Canopy Thermometer appearance may
vary from this illustration from supplier to supplier
but in no way change the temperature ranges.

Smoker Burner and Smoker Box

Using the smoker box feature intensifies the flavor
by adding smoke to the grilling process. The
additional smoke creates a "cloud" around the
food which permeates meats and vegetables for
added smoky flavor. In order to use the smoker
box, remove the last set of porcelain grids and
flavor generator plate on the right hand side of the
grill. Set the smoker box in the opening so that the
front and rear tabs rest on the grill frame.

Smoker box
Wood Chip Use in Smoker Box
There are many wood chips available and selection
is based on personal taste. The most common chips
used are mesquite or hickory. Always soak the chips
in water prior to putting them into the box. Use the
"HIGH" position to start the chips smoking, then
reduce the heat to a lower level to prevent them
from drying out and flaming. If the wood chips do
flame up, add a small amount of water to extinguish
the flame. Use caution when adding water to a
hot box to avoid steam burns. This tray may also
be filled with water to produce steam. Whether
smoking or steaming, the grill should remain closed
as much as possible to maximize the effect.
During extended roasting periods, it is normal to
add fresh wood chips and water to the box several
times. Limit the amount of times the canopy is
opened—each peek adds about 15 minutes to the
cooking time.

Rotisserie

The rotisserie burner is an infrared burner which
provides intense searing radiant heat. Preferred by
professional chefs over other methods, this intense
heat is great for searing in the natural juices and
nutrients found in quality cuts of meat. Once lit, the
rotisserie burner will reach cooking temperatures
in about 1 minute. The red glow will even out in
about 5 minutes.
Gear box
To install the rotisserie motor, align the drive shaft
on the motor with the gear box on the side of
the grill. Tighten the thumb screws on the motor
into the mounting brackets on the grill frame. The
skewer for the rotisserie is assembled into the gear
box assembly by placing the pointed end into
the gear box and resting the rounded end on the
wheels on the left side of the grill.
