WARNING

• Only use this grill on a hard, level, non-combustible, stable surface (concrete, ground, etc.) capable of supporting the weight of the grill. Never use on wooden or other surfaces that could burn.

• DO NOT use grill without charcoal tray in place. DO NOT attempt to remove charcoal tray while tray contains hot coal.

• Proper clearance of 10 feet between the grill and combustible material (bushes, trees, wooden decks, fences, buildings, etc.) or construction should be maintained at all times when grill is in use. Do not place grill under a roof overhang or other enclosed area.

• For outdoor use only. Do not operate grill indoors or in an enclosed area.

• For household use only. Do not use this grill for other than its intended purpose.

• We recommend the use of a Charcoal Chimney Starter to avoid the dangers associated with charcoal lighting fluid. If you choose to use charcoal lighting fluid, only use lighting fluid approved for lighting charcoal. Carefully read manufacturer’s warnings and instructions on the charcoal lighting fluid and charcoal prior to the use of their product. Store charcoal lighting fluid safely away from grill.

• When using charcoal lighting fluid, allow charcoal to burn with grill lid and doors open until covered with a light ash (approximately 20 minutes). This will allow charcoal lighting fluid to burn off. Failure to do this could trap fumes from charcoal lighting fluid in grill and may result in a flash fire or explosion when lid is opened.

• Never use charcoal that has been pre-treated with lighter fluid. Use only a high grade plain charcoal or charcoal/wood mixture.

• Do not use gasoline, kerosene or alcohol for lighting charcoal. Use of any of these or similar products could cause an explosion possibly leading to severe bodily injury.

• Never add charcoal lighting fluid to hot or even warm coals as flashback may occur causing severe burns.

• Place grill in an area where children and pets cannot come into contact with unit. Close supervision is necessary when grill is in use.

• Do not leave grill unattended when in use.

• When adding charcoal and/or wood, use extreme caution and follow instructions in “Adding Charcoal/Wood During Cooking” section of this manual.

• Do not store or use grill near gasoline or other flammable liquids, gases or where flammable vapors may be present.

• Do not store lighter fluid or other flammable liquids or material under the grill.

• Use caution when adjusting charcoal grate height. Handle may be hot when in use.

• Never raise or lower charcoal grate when water smoking as hot water may splash onto coals creating a burst of hot steam and coals.

Grill is hot when in use. To avoid burns:

• DO NOT attempt to move the grill.

• Brace grill so the unit does not accidentally move.

• Wear protective gloves or oven mitts.

• DO NOT touch any hot grill surfaces.

• DO NOT wear loose clothing or allow hair to come in contact with grill.

INSTR_810-3000-S.qxd 1/8/10 4:35 PM Page 2

WARNING

• When grilling, grease from meat may drip into the charcoal and cause a grease fire. If this should happen close lid to suffocate the flame. Do not use water to extinguish grease fires.

• Use caution since flames can flare-up when fresh air suddenly comes in contact with fire. When opening the lid, keep hands, face and body a safe distance from hot steam and flame flare-ups.

• Do not exceed a temperature of 400°F. Do not allow charcoal and/or wood to rest on the walls of grill. Doing so will greatly reduce the life of the metal and finish of your grill.

• Use caution when assembling and operating your grill to avoid scrapes or cuts from sharp edges of metal parts. Use caution when reaching into or under grill.

• When opening lid, make sure it is pushed all the way open. If lid is not fully open, it could fall back to a closed position and cause bodily injury.

• In windy weather, place grill in an outdoor area that is protected from the wind.

• Close lid, doors and smoke stack to suffocate flame.

• Never leave coals and ashes in grill unattended. Before grill can be left unattended, remaining coals and ashes must be removed from grill. Use caution to protect yourself and property. Carefully place remaining coals and ashes in a non-combustible metal container and saturate completely with water. Allow coals and water to remain in metal container 24 hours prior to disposing.

• Extinguished coals and ashes should be placed a safe distance from all structures and combustible materials.

• With a garden hose, completely wet the surface beneath and around grill to extinguish any ashes, coals or embers which may have fallen during the cooking or cleaning process.

• After each use, clean the grill thoroughly and apply a light coat of vegetable oil to interior to prevent rusting. Cover the grill to protect it from excessive rusting.

• Use caution when lifting or moving grill to prevent strains and back injuries.

• We advise that a fire extinguisher be on hand. Refer to your local authority to determine proper size and type of fire extinguisher.

• Accessory attachments not manufactured by The Brinkmann Corporation for this particular product are not recommended and may lead to personal injury or property damage.

• Store the grill out of reach of children and in a dry location when not in use.

PREPARATION FOR USE

& LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS

PLACE THE GRILL OUTDOORS ON A HARD, LEVEL, NON-COMBUSTIBLE SURFACE

AWAY FROM ROOF OVERHANG OR ANY COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL. NEVER USE ON WOODEN OR OTHER SURFACES THAT

COULD BURN. PLACE THE GRILL AWAY FROM OPEN WINDOWS OR DOORS TO PREVENT SMOKE FROM ENTERING YOUR

HOUSE. IN WINDY WEATHER, PLACE THE GRILL IN AN OUTDOOR AREA THAT IS PROTECTED FROM THE WIND.

READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY

BEFORE OPERATING YOUR GRILL.

Prior to your first use of the Brinkmann Barrel, follow the instructions below carefully to cure your grill. Curing your grill will minimize damage to the exterior finish as well as rid the grill of paint odor that can impart unnatural flavors to the first meal prepared on your Brinkmann Barrel.

IMPORTANT: To protect your grill from excessive rust, the unit must be

properly cured and covered at all times when not in use. A cover for your Barrel may be ordered directly from Brinkmann by calling 800-468-5252.

Step 1

Lightly coat all interior surfaces of the Barrel including cooking grills with vegetable oil or vegetable oil spray. Do not coat charcoal grates or charcoal tray.

Step 2

Ash tray must be in place at all times.

Step 3

Follow the instructions below carefully to build a fire. You may use charcoal and/or wood as fuel in the Barrel (see “Adding Charcoal/Wood During Cooking” section of this manual).

WARNING: Never use charcoal that has been pre-treated with lighter

fluid. Use only a high grade plain charcoal or charcoal/wood mixture.

If using a Charcoal Chimney Starter, follow all manufacturer’s warnings and instructions regarding the use of their product. Start with 2 - 2 2 pounds of charcoal. This should be enough charcoal to cook with, once the curing process has been completed. When charcoal is burning strong, carefully place hot coals in center of charcoal grate.

WARNING: DO NOT use grill without charcoal ash tray in place. DO NOT

attempt to remove charcoal ash tray while tray contains hot coals.

NOTE: To extend the life of your grill, make sure that hot coals and

wood do not touch the walls of grill.

IF USING CHARCOAL CHIMNEY STARTER, PROCEED TO STEP 6

Start with 2 - 2 2 pounds of charcoal. This should be enough charcoal to cook with once the curing process has been completed. Open the smokestack damper halfway. When charcoal is burning strong, carefully place the hot coals in center of charcoal grate.

Curing Your Grill

INSTR_810-3000-S.qxd 1/8/10 4:35 PM Page 11

Step 4

Saturate charcoal with lighting fluid. With lid open wait 2 to 3 minutes to allow lighting fluid to soak into charcoal. Store charcoal lighting fluid safely away from the grill.

Step 5

Open the smokestack damper half way. With grill lid open, stand back and carefully light charcoal and allow to burn until covered with a light ash (approximately 20 minutes). Charcoal lighting fluid must be allowed to completely burn off prior to closing grill lid.

WARNING: Charcoal lighting fluid must be allowed to completely burn off

prior to closing grill lid (approximately 20 minutes). Failure to do this could trap fumes from charcoal lighting fluid in grill and may result in a flash-fire or explosion when lid is opened.

Step 6

With coals burning strong, close the lid. Allow the temperature to reach 250°F on heat indicator. Maintain this temperature for 2 hours.

Step 7

Increase the temperature to approximately to 400°F. This can be achieved by opening the smokestack damper and adding more charcoal and/or wood (see “Adding Charcoal/Wood During Cooking” section of this manual). Maintain this temperature for 1 hour then allow unit to cool completely.

NOTE: Never exceed a temperature of 400°F in cooking chamber. It is

important that the exterior of the smoker is not scraped or rubbed during the curing process.

IMPORTANT: To protect your smoker from excessive rust, the unit must

be cured periodically and covered at all times when not in use. A smoker cover can be ordered directly from Brinkmann by calling 800-468-5252.

YOUR BRINKMANN BARREL IS NOW CURED AND

READY FOR USE.
