OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Rust can appear on the inside of your grill. Maintaining a light coating of vegetable oil on interior
surfaces will aid in the protection of your grill. Exterior surfaces of the grill may need occasional touch
up. We recommend the use of commercially available black high temperature spray paint.
NEVER PAINT THE INTERIOR OF THE UNIT!
Operating The Front Door, Dampers, And Smoke Stack
WARNING: These metal parts could be very hot while grilling. Always operate these parts while
wearing a heat-resistant glove.
• To open the door, lift the door slighty and pull.
• To close the door, lift the door slightly and push the door to the door frame catch.
• To adjust the side dampers, pull or push damper handle until desired air flow is achieved.
• To adjust the smoke stack, move the smoke stack adjustment handle away from the smoke stack
and raise or lower the adjustment handle until the desired air flow is achieved.
Grilling
Charcoal is recommended, however wood or a combination of both may be used as the fuel source
for grilling if the fuel source is placed and ignited on the charcoal pan. Do not build too large a fire.
We recommend starting a fire with no more than 3 lbs. of charcoal (approximately 56 briquettes) and
adding more as needed during cooking. After allowing the fire to burn down, place the cooking grates
in the unit using heat-resistant gloves. Failure to read and follow instructions for lighting charcoal may
result in serious personal injury and or property damage.
WARNING
• Most surfaces on this unit are hot when in use. Use extreme caution. Keep others away from unit.
• Always wear protective clothing to prevent injury.
• Keep children and pets away.
• DO NOT move this unit during operation.
• Never substitute gasoline, kerosene or alcohol for charcoal starter. In some states, the use of
charcoal starter is prohibited by law. In this case, paraffin-based starter cubes can be substituted for
charcoal starter. Never use charcoal starter fluid with an electric starter.
