Using Your Grill
Read all instructions before you operate your grill .
We recommend you wash your entire grill with soap and water prior to lighting it for the first time. Oils are
used during the manufacturing process and some residual oil may still be on the stainless steel parts of your
grill. Washing will reduce the possibility of discoloration. We also recommend you keep your grill covered when
not in use. This will minimize the amount of dust and dirt that accumulates on your grill and extend the life of
your grill.
NEVER use flammable materials and fluids such as gasoline, kerosene, butane or propane, diesel fuel, or alcohol
to light or re-light fires. Keep the grill away from such substances when lit.
Use high quality hardwood charcoal to ensure a good flame. Charcoal briquettes made from maple, oak, birch,
or elm woods will burn cleanly, minimizing smoke and unpleasant odors.
Make sure the drip tray is in place.
Allow the grill to cool and clean the drip tray after each use.
Do not leave the grill unattended while cooking.
Open the hood and remove cooking grates.

Leave about a one-half inch space between each piece of charcoal. This helps to avoid flare-ups from the meat
juices and provides the even heat best suited for grilling.
Lighting Instructions
Grilling
NEVER allow children or pets unattended in an area where a grill is being used. Never allow children to sit,
stand or play on or around the grill at any time. When in use, certain areas of the grill get hot enough to cause
severe burns.
Leave the hood open for “Texas Style” open air grilling. Close the hood for “smoker” cooking.
For the greatest concentration of heat, leave the hood open. Adjust the crank handle to lift the charcoal tray
up so the burning charcoal will be close to the grilling meat. Lower the charcoal tray to lower the grilling
temperature.
