Do not overfill the drawer such

that it cannot be closed.

Use caution when opening the

drawer. It may fall if pulled out

too far.

Before opening a drawer containing hot 

embers, pull the drawer open slightly and 

then lift and drop vertically to shake loose 

coals down inside the grill.

I. 

Hybrid Fire Grilling Drawer: When empty, the special patterns and angles in the Hybrid Fire Grilling 

Drawer diffuse the main burner heat for gas-fired grilling. Add charcoal and/or wood to the drawer for 

grilling with solid fuel. 

IMPORTANT: Never over-fill the drawer to the point where it cannot be opened and closed. Over filling 

the drawer can create a fire so hot that it may be dangerous or may damage your grill. If the solid fuel 

does not fit through the drawer opening to close the drawer, it is too large to be used or the drawer is too 

full.

IMPORTANT: Before opening a drawer containing hot embers, pull the drawer open slightly (about 1 inch)

just until the drawer front is clear of the face of the drawer opening. Lift the drawer up by the handle and 

then release to drop the drawer and shake embers loose down inside the grill. Repeat several times before 

opening the drawer any further.

Use caution when opening the Hybrid Fire Grilling Drawer. It is possible to pull it all 

the way out of the grill, and there is no stop mechanism to prevent it from coming 

all the way out. 

Always use caution when opening a Hybrid Fire Grilling Drawer containing live 

embers. Embers may fall through the perforations. Never touch any part of the 

drawer other than the handle if the grill is, or has recently been, hot.
