1a. After starting the fire, the ceramic Heat Deflector is placed on the ceramic Fire Ring.
The Deflector is usually used in conjunction with the Cooking Grid Elevator (CGE)
which holds the cooking grid above the deflector and level with the top of the grill.
2a. Place the 3 legs of the CGE into the 3 notches in the ceramic Fire Ring. Fig. 23
You may also use the CGE as a lifting tool for the Heat Deflector in order to help keep hands out of the fire.
1b. Place the ceramic Deflector into the elevator so the 3 flanges of the Deflector are
centered on the 3 legs of the stainless steel Elevator.
2b. Lift it into the grill as shown placing the Legs of the CGE into the notches on the
Fire Ring. Fig. 24
For Roasting and Smoking you will want to cook with indirect heat to avoid burning the surface of
your meat. This can be accomplished by putting your food on a rack which is placed inside a pan.
Water, juice, etc. may be added to the pan for a more effective buffer from the heat. Fig. 25
The best method for indirect heat and smoking is to use the optional Heat Deflector (SG-HD).
3. Place the Cooking Grid on top of the Elevator with the Cooking Grid Access Door to
the front of the grill as shown above Fig. 22.
4. You may then place the food directly on the Cooking Grid if desired. A pan to
catch the drippings may be used on the Deflector or on top of the Cooking Grid. Fig. 25
(Drip Pan and Roast/Rib Rack)
You will get some smoked flavor from the Natural Lump Charcoal.
To add additional smoked flavor to your food, you may use Wood Chips or Chunks.
These may be added through the access door at the front of your Cooking Grid. Fig. 22
(p.10)
You may also add wood chips to your smoker with the use of the optional “Smokin’ Chip Feeder”
(SG-SMOKIN)
The advantage of the Chip Feeder is that you do not have to open the grill and interrupt the
cooking cycle to add more chips. It also keeps your hands out of the fire and will get the chips
directly on the part of the fire that you want them to go.
