Ligh ng your Grill

The GrillBlazer GrillGun is a reliable, durable, high‐power torch that is
designed to light charcoal grills very quickly and easily. Charcoal can be
lit in seconds under the intense heat of the GrillGun torch.
To prepare for grilling, start by arranging your charcoal the way you want
it for grilling. Next, decide how to handle your grill grates.
Most grill grates (the grate you cook on) are either cast metal, powder
coated wire, or chrome plated wire grill grates. If you aim the GrillGun at
any small diameter wire, coated or uncoated, you will turn the wire grill
orange and burn off any finish. For grills with light gauge wire grill tops,
you probably will want to remove the grill grate and light the charcoal
directly rather than star ng the grill by blowing fire through the grill
wires and risking damaging them.
If your grates are heavy steel or cast metal, you can sani ze them while
you light the charcoal. Clean and sani ze your grill grates by flaming the
grates, ge ng them hot enough to incinerate any residual grease, dirt or
grime le on the grill grates a er its last use. Brush off the charred debris
with a wire brush and your cooking surface is sani zed and ready to go.
To light the charcoal, aim the lighted GrillGun at the charcoal and bathe
the charcoal pieces in the intense flame long enough to catch them on
fire, beginning on one end of the grill and then slowly moving the torch
across and through all the charcoal in the grill un l it is all completely lit.
Individual charcoal pieces will light in mere seconds! You can see that
charcoal is lit when it is clearly glowing red in the light of the torch
flame. Presto! A ready-to-cook charcoal bed in a frac on of the normal
20 to 30 minutes it typically takes to bring charcoal to the temperature
needed to cook food.
WARNING: When ligh ng and handling burning charcoal, be aware that
charcoal will pop and spark. The sparks are small bits of flaming charcoal
that are quite hot and you will want to stand clear of them in order not to
have them land on you and cause small burns on your skin, clothes or
surrounding burnable objects.
Depending on your grill's finish, you will need to exercise the appropriate
level of care when ligh ng the charcoal to avoid damage to the grill, as
explained on the next page.
