PREPARING TO USE YOUR GRILL
Before cooking with your grill, the following steps should be closely followed to both cure the finish and season the interior
steel. Failure to properly follow these steps may damage the finish and/or impart metallic flavors to your first foods.
Brush all interior surfaces including charcoal pans and grates with vegetable cooking oil.
Build a small fire in each charcoal pan, being sure not to lay coals against the walls.
Close lid, position butterfly dampers at approximately one quarter turn open. This burn should be sustained for at least
two hours. Begin increasing the temperature by opening the butterfly dampers halfway and adding more charcoal. Your
grill is now ready for use.
Rust can appear on the inside of your grill. Maintaining a light coat of vegetable oil on the interior surfaces will aid in the
protection of your grill. Exterior surfaces of the grill may need occasional touch up. We recommend the use of commercially
available black high temperature spray paint. NEVER PAINT THE INTERIOR OF THE GRILL!
Please see information regarding Uncoated Cast Iron Grates below.
First Time Use:
Before using a cast iron grate or other cast iron cooking tool, wash it thoroughly with a mild dishwashing liquid to remove the
protective wax coating applied for shipping. Rinse with hot water and dry completely with a soft cloth or paper towel. NEVER
ALLOW TO DRAIN DRY OR WASH IN A DISHWASHER. Now season the grates to prevent rust and sticking.
Seasoning:
A solid vegetable shortening is recommended for the initial seasoning. Spread a thin coating of solid vegetable shortening
over the entire surface, including all corners, with a paper towel. Do not use salted fats such as butter or margarine.
Preheat grill for 15 minutes; carefully place grates in the grill. Allow the grill to heat grates for 1 to 1 ½ hours. Allow the fire to
burn out on its own, and leave cooking grates in grill until they are cool. Your cast iron cooking grates are now ready to use.
To Prevent Rusting:
Re-season your grates frequently, particularly when new. If rust occurs, it is an indication that the grates have not been
seasoned enough or the seasoning has been burned off. Clean with a heavy brush like Char-Broil’s Brush Hawg. Reapply
vegetable shortening and heat as indicated above to re-season the grates.
Maintenance:
Do not do a burn-off after you grill, but rather leave the cooking residues on the grates to keep a protective coating on the
cast iron. Do a burn-off just before you grill. The more you use your cast iron grates, the easier the maintenance will be.
Store in a dry place. If you store your grates for an extended period of time, grease very lightly with vegetable shortening,
then wipe dry with a paper towel.
GRILLING
Charcoal is recommended, however, wood or a combination of both may be used as the fuel source for grilling with the fuel
source placed and ignited on one or both charcoal pans. Do not build too large of a fire. We recommend starting a fire with
no more than 2 pounds of charcoal (approximately 30 briquettes) (1 pound on each charcoal pan) and adding more as
needed during cooking. After allowing the fire to burn down, place the cooking grate on the unit. Failure to read and follow
instructions for lighting charcoal may result in serious personal injury and/or property damage.
Frequency of clean up is determined by how often the grill is used. Make sure coals are completely extinguished before
cleaning inside of the unit. Thoroughly rinse with water and allow to air dry before using again. Wipe out the interior of the
unit with a cloth or paper towels.
When finished cooking, and the unit has adequately cooled, clean out all remaining ashes. Ashes collect moisture, which
can lead to premature rusting and decay. Periodically coating the interior surfaces with vegetable oil will aid in the protection
of your unit. Also, occasional touch up of the exterior paint will be required. Black, high-temperature spray paint is
recommended. NEVER PAINT THE INTERIOR OF THE UNIT.
Cooking Surface: If a bristle brush is used to clean any of the grill cooking surfaces, ensure no loose bristles remain on
cooking surfaces prior to grilling. It is not recommended to clean cooking surfaces while grill is hot.

COOKING TIPS
Building Your Fire
1.) Stack charcoal briquettes or wood into a pyramid-shaped pile on top of the charcoal pan. We recommend using
2 pounds (approximately 30 briquettes) ( 1 pound on each charcoal pan) to start your fire, adding more as
needed.
2.) If using lighter fluid, saturate the charcoal briquettes with lighter fluid and let it soak in for approximately 5
minutes. If using a chimney starter, electric starter, or other type of fire starter, light your fire according to the
manufacturer's instructions.
3.) After allowing the lighter fluid to properly soak in, light the pile of briquettes in several locations to ensure an
even burn. Always light the fire with the grill lid open.
Leave lid open until briquettes are fully lit. Failure to do this could trap fumes from charcoal lighter fluid in grill
and may result in a flash fire when lid is opened.
4.) Never add charcoal lighter fluid to hot or warm coals as flashbacks may occur causing injury.
5.) You are ready to begin cooking when the pile of briquettes ashes over and produces a red glow (approximately
12 – 15 minutes).
6.) Depending on your cooking method, either leave the briquettes in a pile or spread evenly across the charcoal
pan using a long-handled poker.
*Always use caution when handling hot coals to prevent injury.
Know When Your Fire is Ready
Successful charcoal grilling depends on a good fire. The general rule for knowing when your coals are ready for grilling
is to make sure that 80 percent or more of the coals are ashy gray. If you have less than that, the coals are not ready,
and if all of them are glowing red hot, the fire is probably too hot. Here are a few steps you can take to adjust the
temperature of your fire:
- If it is too hot, spread the coals out a bit more, which makes the fire less intense.
- Raise or lower the adjustable charcoal grate.
- Partially close the vents in the grill, which reduces the amount of oxygen that feeds the fire.
- Use the indirect grilling method, with coals to either side of a drip pan and the food over the pan rather than
directly over the coals.
- In the event of a severe flare-up, spray the flames with water from a squirt bottle. Be careful, spraying with water
tends to blow ashes around and make a mess.
- Add briquettes 2 or 3 at a time to increase the burn time. Allow 10 minutes for coals to ash over before adding
more.

Direct and Indirect Grilling
Direct Grilling - For most grilling, the ignited coals are spread in a single layer under the food. This is called direct
grilling and is appropriate for relatively quick-cooking items such as hamburgers, steaks and most seafood. The single
layer of coals emits even, steady heat, whether the grill lid is open or closed, and represents the way most people grill.
For more control, pile some of the coals on one side of the grill where they will emit intense heat. You can move the food
around on the grill, setting it over the very hot coals when you want to sear it or when a thick piece needs to cook a little
more quickly. You can also use the adjustable charcoal grate and dampers to control the temperature in your grill.
Indirect Grilling - For items that take longer to cook, you will want to use indirect grilling. This method is for long, slow
cooking in a covered grill. For indirect cooking, the coals are piled two or three coals deep on one side of the grill, or
divided and piled on two sides. This leaves an empty space next to the coals or between them. Food cooked over
indirect heat is often started over direct heat and then moved to the cooler (empty) part of the grill for even, slow cooking.
To make the heat as even as possible, construct two piles of coals. It is common to place a metal drip pan in the empty
space beside or between the coals, which is filled with water, wine, beer, broth, or a combination. Place the food directly
over the drip pan. This injects a little extra moisture into the cooking environment and also catches dripping juices, which
makes clean-up a little easier and reduces the possibility of flare-ups. (Remember to keep a spray bottle filled with water
on hand to extinguish any flare-ups.) Once you get used to the indirect method, you may prefer to use it for more grilling
tasks. Although it may take a little longer, it is an excellent cooking method and a sure way to prevent the food from
burning and to promote even cooking.
Grilling with Wood Chips/Wood Chunks
For a more robust smoke flavor while using charcoal briquettes or lump charcoal, try adding wood chips or several wood
chunks to the fire. Wood chunks are available in a variety of natural flavors, and can be used alone or in addition to
charcoal. As a general rule, any hardwood that bears a fruit or nut is suitable for cooking. However, different woods have
very different tastes. Experiment with different woods to determine your personal favorite, and always use well-seasoned
wood. Green or fresh-cut wood can turn food black, and tastes bitter.
