Care For Your Grill

Protec ng Your Grill's Finish
Powder coated grill finishes
Many grills have a powder-coated finish, usually black. The grill manufactur-
er will not honor any warranty to the finish caused by overhea ng the sides
or top of the grill either by heat from your burning charcoal or the sudden
and intense heat of the GrillGun. Too much heat from the GrillGun will over-
heat and burn off the finish. If you are using a powder-coated grill and are
concerned about exposing the bare metal by overhea ng it, you should light
your charcoal on another surface such has a rock or piece of metal that
won't catch on fire and pour the burning charcoal into the grill once it is lit
(similar to ligh ng charcoal with a charcoal chimney before pouring it into
the grill.) Many grills have an internal tray for the charcoal on which you can
light the charcoal directly without flaming the insides of the grill and burning
off the finish on the outside. Be careful how and where you aim the GrillGun
while ligh ng the charcoal, if this is a concern.
Fire tolerant painted grills
Some grills come with painted finishes that are rated to withstand 1,200
degrees Fahrenheit. You are not likely to damage this kind of finish.
Stainless Steel Grills
If you have a stainless steel charcoal grill, you don't have to worry about
burning off the exterior finish coa ng since there is no exterior coa ng on
stainless steel grills. However, deliberately training the torch on one local-
ized area of the exterior skin will discolor it.
Ceramic Cooker / Green, Black, other‐colored Egg
It's really not possible to get a ceramic cooker too hot with a torch, or with
burning charcoal, so don't be concerned about hur ng your ceramic cook-
er's finish with the GrillGun. It only takes about 15 seconds to light a ceram-
ic cooker, so you'll be in and out before anything other than the charcoal is
hot.
