BEFORE USING YOUR NEW GRILL FOR THE FIRST TIME Before using your new grill for the first time, it is necessary to "season" it.

Replace water pan and grate(s) and add water, approximately 1/2 inch deep, to the water pan.
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS 1. Open lid. 2. Add water to the stainless steel Water Pan on the right side of the grill. Water should be at least 1/2 inch deep and should be checked frequently during the cooking process. Do not allow all of the water to evaporate before adding more.

STEAMING Converting your grill into a steamer can be accomplished in only a matter of seconds. On a cold grill, remove the Flavor Bar Tray from the left side of the grill. Now simply move the marinade pan from the right side of the grill to the left side.
CLEANING YOUR GRILL Because the cooking chamber is aluminum, do not use stainless steel or any other abrasive cleaner. Allow the grill to completely cool down after cooking. A special grate scraper was supplied with your grill. Use this to remove any food buildup on the cooking grate.
DIRECTIONS FOR INDIRECT COOKING 1. Add water, at least 1/4 inch deep, to the water pan on the right side of your Vidalia Grill. 2. Add one to two cups of your favorite marinade. We have found that apple cider vinegar works well with most meats.

Select quality baby-back ribs (Smithfield is a good brand) Season with Instant Vidalia Seasoning Salt (medium-heavy) and black pepper (medium) Brown both sides for 25-30 minutes each, on the indirect side.
