SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING: FAILURE TO READ AND FOLLOW THE SAFETY INFORMATION
MAY CAUSE SERIOUS BODILY INJURY, DEATH, FIRE, OR AN EXPLOSION
RESULTING IN DAMAGE TO PROPERTY.
IMPORTANT
This manual should be read thoroughly by the installer
and anyone who will use or maintain the grill. The installer
should leave this manual with the user. The user should
retain this manual for future reference when using or
cleaning the grill and to properly identify any repair parts
that may be required.
WARNING
Improper installation, adjustment, service or maintenance
can cause personal injury or property damage. Never
modify the grill. Use only parts and accessories produced
by Broilmaster. For repair service or replacement parts
or accessories, contact your Broilmaster dealer. Reference this manual for proper installation and maintenance
instructions.
WARNING
Do not store or use gasoline or other ammable vapors or
liquids in the vicinity of this or any appliance as they may
cause an explosion resulting in property damage.
CAUTION
Parts may have sharp edges. Wear leather work gloves
and handle parts carefully during unpacking, assembly,
and installation.
Assembly and Installation
1. Do not install this grill in or on recreational vehicles or boats.
2. Do not install or light this grill inside an enclosed area – such
as a building, garage, screen porch, or gazebo.
3. Maintain proper clearance to combustibles (48” minimum
on all sides). Check local codes and ordinances that may
require where to place an outdoor cooking appliance from a
structure.
4. Store grill outdoors in a well ventilated area.
Before Lighting
1. Place grill on a level non-combustible surface, away from
combustibles such as buildings, vehicles, carports, awnings
or overhangs.
2. Do not locate in windy settings. High wind can affect the
cooking performance of the grill.
3. Clear the area around the grill of all combustibles such as
dry leaves and bags – including the charcoal bag.
4. Empty the ash pan before each use to maintain proper air
ow. The ash pan must be in place before lighting the grill.
5. Do not remove ashes from grill until charcoal is fully extinguished and grill has completely cooled – usually 24 hours.
6. Store any coals and ashes removed from the grill in an ap-
proved non-combustible metal container with an air-tight lid
to prevent re-ignition.
Lighting
1. Use only high-quality charcoal – either hardwood lump or
briquettes.
Broilmaster Premium Natural Hardwood Lump Charcoal
burns longer and hotter – with much better avor.
2. Do not light with the lid closed.
3 Do not lean over grill when lighting or cooking.
4. Light the charcoal using a chimney starter, starter cubes, or
an electric charcoal starter. Always follow the manufacturer’s
instructions. Never use lighter uid in your Broilmaster grill –
this will void your warranty. Do not use gasoline, kerosene or
alcohol to light charcoal. The use of these or similar products
could cause an explosion.
Cautions for a Hot Grill
1. Never leave a hot gill unattended.
2. Never try to move a hot grill.
3. Keep children, pets and combustibles away from a hot grill.
4. Use heat-resistant gloves (such as barbecue or oven mitts)
while cooking, adjusting vents and opening doors. Avoid
ammable and/or loose clothing such as long sleeves, neckties, scarves, and aprons. Keep hair tied back or under a hat.
5. While grilling use long-handled heat-resistant grill tools to
place, turn and remove food. Keep hands and arms away
from direct heat.
6. Always beware of re hazards. Beware of dry leaves, trees,
bushes, wood decking and other combustible materials in
proximity of the grill while in use as they may present a re
hazard if any hot charcoal or sparks are allowed to come into
contact.
7. Keep the lid closed while cooking. The Broilmaster grill performs best with the lid closed to control temperature, prevent
are-ups, and retain moisture.
8. Use extreme caution when opening the lid; the sudden rush
of air can cause are ups. Before fully opening the grill, lift
the lid an inch a few times to allow fresh air to enter slowly.
This will control any are ups.
9. Do not use water to control are ups or extinguish coals.
Close the lid and adjust the air vents.
10. To extinguish coals, close lid and the top and bottom air
vents completely. Allow to cool for 24 hours before removing
ash and coals.
11. Always use your grill in accordance with any local codes.
CAUTION
The Broilmaster Charcoal Grill is safe when used as intended
and in according to the safety guidelines. It is the user’s responsibility to maintain safe operation of the grill and reasonable standards of care at all times. Always exercise extreme
caution when lighting charcoal, cooking with hot charcoal,
handling hot surfaces, and disposing of charcoal and ash.

OPERATION
IMPORTANT!
Initial Use: The rst time you use your Broilmaster Charcoal
Grill, keep the cooking temperature between 350 to 400 degrees
maximum. This will season the paint and set gasket glues properly.
Let burn for at least 60 minutes at 350 to 400 degrees to burn
off any manufacturing oils and paints before placing food on the
grill. Never use grill without ash pan in place.
Lighting Instructions
1. Follow the instructions below to build a re. You may use
charcoal briquettes or Broilmaster recommends quality Broilmaster Premium Natural Hardwood Lump Charcoal for a lon-
ger, hotter burn with less ash and more avorful wood taste.
2. Make sure the ash pan is clean to start. Open lower door and
slide out ash pan. Dispose of ashes in an approved metal
container as described in the safety section. Do not remove
hot coals. Replace the ash pan, close and latch door.
3. Filling Charcoal Tray
• Full Firebox Tray: Pile the charcoal in a pyramid shape on
the charcoal tray with enough charcoal so when spread
out it is not higher than tray sides but covers the entire
charcoal tray (about 5 to 7 pounds). Never let charcoal
burn against the casting sides of the grill, it could
damage the grill casting. Use this for larger amounts
of food cooking over the entire area, hotter cooking temperatures, or longer cooking times.
• Half Firebox Tray: Pile the charcoal on one side of the
charcoal tray with enough charcoal so to cover half of the
charcoal tray but not higher than tray sides when spread
out (about 3 to 4 pounds). Use this for smaller amounts
of food, when cooking at milder temperatures or indirect
cooking. Use the Broilmaster rebox divider (sold separately) to cook on one small section of your grill.
4. Fully open both lower air intake vents.
5. With the lid open and the charcoal piled in tray, use natural
charcoal starter cubes, a charcoal chimney start or an electric
charcoal starter. Always follow the manufacturer’s warnings
and instructions. Do not use lighter uid (it will void the
warranty).
6. After coals have been lit for about seven to ten minutes, or
when several coals are burning, close the lid and, with the dial
open fully, swing open the smoke vent on top full for maximum
air ow. Let burn with lid closed for about ve minutes or until
most coals are burning.
7. Carefully open the lid and spread coal as desired with metal
rod or optional ash tool. WARNING: Wear heat resistant
gloves when handling hot grill. Hot grill could cause severe burns. Replace the cooking grids at the desired height
and close the lid.
8. When the heat indicator reaches the desired temperature,
reduce the air ow by adjusting the top smoke vent and the
lower air intake vents. Adjust air vents during cooking to con-
trol and ne tune temperatures.
Adding Charcoal or Wood Flavoring Chunks
1. Add charcoal to maintain or to increase cooking tempera-
tures. Or add wood avoring chunks for a special wood avor.
2. With heat resistant gloves or oven mitts carefully open the
reload door. Use caution since ames may are up when air
comes in contact with re. Always slightly crack one or two
inches a few times before fully opening to introduce fresh air
slowly.
3. With a set of long-handled cooking tongs, add charcoal or
wood chunks through the reload door opening. When nished, close and latch the reload door. Always keep doors
closed while in use. Open only when needing to reload.
Shutting the Grill Down
1. When nished cooking, close the lid and close both top and
bottom vents completely. The re will self extinguish. Never
use water to extinguish the coals. It may take several hours
for the grill to cool down due to the thick heavy casting holding
in the heat.
Restarting the Grill
1. When restarting the grill, most of the charcoal that was started
(Divider Accessory Shown)
Figure 16
Place the divider between the grates and in the holding tabs
on the frame. This will separate the rebox in half for better
control. Note: Divider must be removed to slide out ash tray.
B102097-0-0113 Page 13
with will still be in the charcoal tray if the vents were closed
after previous use. The charcoal can be reused. With the ash
tool, stir the charcoal so that any ash build-up falls through
into the ash pan. Add more charcoal as necessary to ll the
tray as described in the lighting instructions.
2. Empty the ash pan into an approved metal container and replace.

grees maximum. This will season and set the gasket adhesive
properly. Let burn for at least 60 minutes.
IMPORTANT!
Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners on the exterior of
your grill or mounting. This could damage the paint or nish on the grill.
Heat Indicator Calibration
1. The heat indicator can be calibrated if needed. Remove the
heat indicator from the grill and place the probe end in a pot
of boiling water. It should read 212 degrees. Set the heat indicator by turning the nut on the back slightly until it reads 212
degrees, and recheck again.

COOKING TIPS
Cook Food To Proper Temperatures
Cooking food safely requires that you raise the internal temperature of the meat high enough and for a long enough period of time to kill
any food-borne bacteria that may cause illnesses.
Color is not the best indicator that food is safe to eat. Use a high-quality probe thermometer to be sure your food is properly cooked.
Place the tip of an instant-read thermometer into the center of the thickest part of the food but at least 1/2 inch deep. Read the temperature after about 10 seconds. Follow the temperature guidelines for the type of food you’re cooking.
The following guidelines are from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition.
