OWNER’S MANUAL FOR C3PK1 GRILLS

OPERATION - CHARCOAL GRILLS

Grill Location

This grill is designed for outdoor use only.

Never operate your grill in any building, garage, or other
enclosed area. Never operate your grill in a recreational vehicle
or boat. Never operate your grill under any combustible materials,
such as carports, covered porches, awnings, or overhangs.
Check local codes and ordinances that may require where to
place an outdoor cooking appliance from a structure.

CAUTION

Keep the sides of the grill at least 48 inches from any

combustible material. Placing a hot grill too close to a

building or other combustible material may lead to re,

property damage, or personal injury. Combustible materi­als include fences, patio furniture, and your home.

Keep the area around the grill clear to ensure proper ventilation.

Before lighting the grill, position it on a level surface away from
direct wind.

Never move a hot grill.

WARNING

Do not install or operate this grill where gasoline or other

ammable materials are used or stored. Failure to comply
with this warning could result in explosion or re causing

property damage or personal injury.

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
approved non-combustible metal container with an air­tight lid to prevent re-ignition.

B102223-0-0714Page 34

OPERATION - CHARCOAL GRILLS

Lighting

1. Follow the instructions below to build a re. 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. 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.

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.

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 tempera-

tures or indirect cooking. Use the Broilmaster rebox

divider (sold separately) to cook on one small section
of your grill.

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

control 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

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

(Divider Accessory Shown)

Place the divider between the grates and in the holding

tabs on the frame. This will separate the rebox in half for

better control. Divider must be removed to slide out ash tray.

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 lean over grill when
lighting or cooking.

Do not use lighter uid (it will void the warranty).

B102223-0-0714 Page 35

1. When restarting the grill, most of the charcoal that was
started 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 build­up 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.

MAINTENANCE

Cleaning the Grill

WARNING

Never clean a hot grill. Make sure that the grill is cool and

all coals are completely extinguished prior to removing
any parts. A hot grill could cause severe burns.

WARNING

Accumulated grease is a re hazard. Empty ash tray

before each use and clean any grease build-up as needed.

Grids

The grids are best cleaned with a long handled brass or stain­less steel brush (NOT STEEL) during the preheating period.

Inside the Grill

Remove cooking grids charcoal frame, grates and ash pan.
Use a brass brush and or scraper to clean and loosen debris
from the bottom sides and lid. Be careful not to damage gas­ket material. Use a wet dry vacuum to pick up loose debris.
If desired you can wash the inside of the grill. Wash the inside
with a mild detergent and warm water and scrub using a brass
brush. Be careful not to damage gasket material. Rinse well
and wipe dry.

Ash Pan

Any grease build-up should be scraped out with a putty knife
or scraper tool, and the debris brushed into a non-combustible
container. Wash with a mild detergent and warm water. Rinse
well and wipe dry.

Grill Exterior

Clean regularly with a solution of mild detergent and warm wa­ter. Touch up paint is available from your dealer. Broilmaster
protective covers are recommended. Stainless steel can be
cleaned with a spray on stainless steel cleaner found in most
hardware stores or home center. Never use aerosol sprays or

ammable cleaners on or near a hot grill.

Clean the grill exterior regularly with a solution of mild detergent
and hot water.

To protect your grill from the elements, use a Broilmaster pro­tective cover Clean stainless steel components with a stainless
steel cleaner available in most hardware stores.

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

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. Clean any build-up from indicator
probe once a season to prevent loss of accuracy.

Gasket

The gasket material installed on the lid and doors is designed
to last for years under normal use. If the gasket shows signs of
deterioration or excessive wear, it should be replaced using the
appropriate Broilmaster Replacement Gasket Kit:

DPP307 Door Gasket Kit
DPP308 Lid Gasket Kit

Gasket Replacement Instructions

WARNING

Make sure that the grill is cool and all coals are

completely extinguished prior to removing any parts or
servicing. A hot grill could cause severe burns.

1. Ensure the grill is cool before starting.

2. Remove the cooking grids.

3. With a at edged scraping tool or putty knife, remove the

old gasket material.

4. Remove any gasket or adhesive residue with household
adhesive remover. Always follow the manufacturer’s safety
instructions when using these products.

5. Allow the grill to dry for 30 minutes.

6. Replace the gasket material by removing the backing tape
from the new gasket. Take care to not touch the adhesive
side. Starting in a rear corner, lay the gasket along the out-

er edge and press rmly. Do not pull or stretch the gasket

when applying.

7. Trim any excess gasket material as needed.

8. Close the lid and/or doors and let dry for 24 hours.

IMPORTANT

Initial Use: The rst time the grill is used with the new gasket,

operate the grill at temperatures of 350 to 400 degrees
maximum. This will season and set the gasket adhesive
properly. Let burn for at least 60 minutes.

Buy a good grill brush. Inexpensive grill brushes tend to lose
their metal bristles, which can stick to your cooking grids and
become embedded in foods.

A grill builds up a patina of smoke residue. The “seasoning” is

normal and actually enhances the avor of your foods. If the
build-up grows too think, it can ake off and fall onto your food.

To remove excess build-up, let the grill cool completely and then
brush thoroughly with a high-quality grill brush.

QUICK TEMPERATURE REFERENCE

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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Be sure the grill is cool before using any type of aerosol cleaner on or around the grill. The chemical
that produces the spraying action could, in the presence of heat, ignite or cause metal parts to
corrode. Do not operate the grill under unprotected combustible construction. Use only in well
ventilated areas. Do not use in buildings, garages, sheds, breezeways or any enclosed areas.

Keep the area around the grill free from combustible materials, trash, or combustible uids and
vapors such as gasoline or charcoal lighter uid. Do not obstruct the ow of combustion and

ventilation air. Keep the back of the cart free and clear from debris.

Never use the grill in windy conditions. If located in a consistently windy area (oceanfront, mountain
top, etc.) a windbreak will be required.

Always adhere to the specied clearance.

Keep electrical cords always from the heated areas of the grill.

Do not use the grill for cooking excessively fatty meats or products, which promote are-ups.

Keep Children Away from the Grill at All Times

Never leave children unattended near the grill. Teach them to stay away even when you are not
cooking, as the grill can remain hot after it is turned off.

Never allow children near the grill at any time. Do not store items of interest to children around or
below the grill or in the cart.

Never allow children to crawl inside of a cart or island enclosure.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Practice Safe Grilling

Do not wear loose tting clothing or ammable clothing (such as synthetics) around the grill. Never
let clothing, pot holders, or other ammable materials come in contact with or too close to any grate,

burner or hot surface. Fabric may ignite and result in personal injury.

Use only dry pot holders. Using a damp pot holder on a hot surface may cause burns from steam.
Do not use towels or bulky cloth in place of pot holders. Do not let pot holders touch hot cooking
grids. Never use a sponge on a hot surface, as it may cause steam burns.
Protect your hand with an oven mitt or pot holder when opening the grill lid. Never lean over an
open grill.

Use heat-proof cookware and tools specically designed for grilling. Other types of material may

shatter with sudden temperature changes or melt from extreme heat. Use tools with insulated
handles and keep them away from the grill to avoid heat build-up.

Do not spray aerosol oil or butter or pour liquid oil into the grill. Doing so will cause a ash re that

can burn you.

Grease is ammable. Let grease cool before attempting to handle it. Avoid letting grease deposits

collect in the bottom of the grill. Clean your grill often.

Do not heat unopened food containers - such as cans, jars, and sealed pans. Pressure build-up
may cause the container to burst.

Clean the grill with caution. Avoid steam burns; do not use a wet sponge or cloth to clean the grill
while it is hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes or can ignite if applied to a hot surface.
