IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS
WE WANT YOU TO ASSEMBLE AND USE YOUR GRILL AS SAFELY
AS POSSIBLE. THE PURPOSE OF THIS SAFETY SYMBOL
IS TO ATTRACT YOUR ATTENTION TO POSSIBLE
HAZARDS AS YOU ASSEMBLE AND USE YOUR GRILL.
WHEN YOU SEE THE SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL, PAY CLOSE
ATTENTION TO THE INFORMATION WHICH FOLLOWS!
READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
BEFORE ASSEMBLING AND OPERATING YOUR GRILL.
IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS CONT.
1. 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.
2. DO NOT use grill without charcoal grate in place. DO NOT attempt to remove
charcoal grate while tray contains hot coal.
3. 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.
4. For outdoor use only. Do not operate grill indoors or in an enclosed area.
5. For household use only. Do not use this grill for other than its intended purpose.
6. We recommend the use of a Charcoal Chimney Starter to avoid the dangers
associated with charcoal lighting uid. If you choose to use charcoal lighting uid, only use lighting uid approved for lighting charcoal. Carefully read
manufacturer’s warnings and instructions on the charcoal lighting uid and charcoal
prior to the use of their product. Store charcoal lighting uid safely away from grill.

Page 3
IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS CONT.
7. When using charcoal lighting uid, allow charcoal to burn with grill lid open
until covered with a light ash (approximately 20 minutes). This will allow charcoal
lighting uid to burn off. Failure to do this could trap fumes from charcoal lighting
uid in grill and may result in a ash re or explosion when lid is opened.
8. 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.
9. Never add charcoal lighting uid to hot or even warm coals as ashback may
occur causing severe burns.
10. Place grill in an area where children and pets cannot come into contact with
unit. Close supervision is necessary when grill is in use.
11. Do not leave grill unattended when in use.
12. When adding charcoal and/or wood, use extreme caution and follow instructions in “Adding Charcoal/Wood During Cooking” section of this manual.
13. Do not store or use grill near gasoline or other ammable liquids, gases or
where ammable vapors may be present.
14. Do not store lighter uid or other ammable liquids or material under the grill.
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.
15. When grilling, grease from meat may drip into the charcoal and cause a grease
re. If this should happen close lid to suffocate the ame. Do not use water to
extinguish grease res.
16. Use caution since ames can are-up when fresh air suddenly comes in contact with re. When opening the lid, keep hands, face and body a safe distance
from hot steam and ame are-ups.
17. 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.
18. 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.
19. In windy weather, place grill in an outdoor area that is protected from the wind.
20. Close lid, air shutter and top vent to suffocate ame.
21. 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.
22. Extinguished coals and ashes should be placed a safe distance from all
structures and combustible materials.

OPERATING YOUR GRILL.
SMOKING:
Step 1
Follow instructions below carefully to build a re. You may use charcoal and/or
wood as fuel in the Ceramic Egg (see “Adding Charcoal/Wood During Cooking”
section of this manual).
Step 2
Remove cooking grate and/or baking stone from cooking chamber and set aside.
NOTE: We recommend using a charcoal chimney starter or electric
starter to light charcoal.
WARNING: Do not use lighter uid or charcoal that has been pre-
treated with lighter uid in your gill.
WARNING: DO NOT store lighter uid or other ammable liquids,
material or charcoal that has been pre-treated with lighter uid under
or around the grill.If using a Charcoal Chimney Starter, follow all
manufacturer’s warnings and instructions regarding the use of their
product. Start with 1½ - 3 pounds of hot coals on charcoal grate.
Follow all manufacturer’s warnings and instructions regarding the use of their
product. Start with 2-3 pounds of hot coals on charcoal grate.
Step 3

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS CONT.
Step 5
Place cooking grate back into cooking chamber.
Step 6
Place food on cooking grate in cooking chamber and close lid.
Step 7
The ideal smoking temperature is between 175°F and 250°F. For large cuts of
meat, allow approximately one hour of cooking time per pound of meat. Always
use a meat thermometer to ensure food is fully cooked before removing from grill.
Step 8
Allow grill to cool completely, then follow instructions in the “After-Use Safety”
and “Proper Care & Maintenance” sections of this manual.
SMOKE COOKING TIPS:
During the smoking process, avoid the temptation to open lid to check food.
Opening the lid allows heat and smoke to escape, making additional cooking
time necessary. Food closest to the heat source will cook and brown faster.
Rotate food midway through the cooking cycle. If food is excessively browned or
avored with smoke, wrap food in aluminum foil after the rst few hours of smoking. This will allow food to continue cooking without further browning or smoke
avoring. When cooking sh or extra lean cuts of meat, you may want to try water
smoking to keep the food moist. Set the metal pan on cooking grate beside food.
Fill with water or marinade until 2/3 full.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS CONT.
FLAVORING WOOD:
To obtain your favorite smoke avor, experiment by using chunks, sticks or chips
of avor producing wood such as hickory, pecan, apple, cherry, or mesquite.
Most fruit or nut tree wood may be used for smoke avoring. Do not use
resinous wood such as pine as it will produce an unpleasant taste.
Wood chunks or sticks 3” to 4” long and 1” to 2” thick work best. Unless the wood
is still green, soak the wood in water for 30 minutes or wrap each piece in foil and
tear several small holes in the foil to pro duce more smoke and prevent the wood
from burning too quickly. A lot of wood is not required to obtain a good smoke avor.
A recommended amount for the Charcoal Drum is 5 to 6 wood chunks or sticks.
Experiment by using more wood for stronger smoke avor or less wood for milder
smoke avor.
Additional avoring wood should not have to be added during the cooking process.
However, it may be necessary when cooking very large pieces of food. Follow instructions and cautions in the “Adding Charcoal/Wood During Cooking” section of
this manual to avoid injury while adding wood.
REGULATING HEAT:
To increase heat and air circulation, fully open air vent. If increased air circulation
does not raise temperature sufciently, more wood and/or charcoal may be needed.
Follow instructions in “Adding Charcoal/Wood During Cooking” section of this
manual.
To maintain the temperature, more wood and/or charcoal may need to be added
during the cooking cycle.
NOTE: Dry wood burns hotter than charcoal, so you may want to increase
the ratio of wood to charcoal to increase the cooking temperature. Har
wood such as oak, hickory, mesquite, fruit and nut wood are an excellent
fuel because of their burning rate. When using wood as fuel, make sure
the wood is seasoned and dry. DO NOT use resinous wood such as pine
as it will produce an unpleasant taste.
