OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE FIRST USE

Remove all hangings or plastic straps, if present.

It is important to "season" your grill, prior to cooking food. Seasoning seals the paint and interior of

your smoker to enhance avoring, durability and overall performance. To season your grill, simply use

it as you normally would without adding food. You will need to follow all of the lighting and operating procedures in the next few sections of this manual.

Seasoning the Grill

Using the recommended amount of charcoal (listed below), burn the grill for at least 30-45 minutes.

Lighting Instructions

Start with at least 4 lbs. (1.8 kgs.) of charcoal (75 standard briquettes). Make adjustments as needed when cooking in colder climates or during high winds, and/or when fair amounts of precipitation are present.

Step 1

Note: Please refer to the manufacturer's recommended amount of charcoal lighter uid before applying uid to the briquettes. Charcoal can be added to the grill by removing the cooking grates.

Pile the charcoal towards the middle of the charcoal grate. Briquettes should be packed closely

together for maximum burn efciency. Saturate charcoal with the amount of charcoal lighter uid as recommended by the charcoal lighter uid manufacturer. After soaking the charcoal, place the charcoal lighter uid at a safe distance away from the grill. Allow the charcoal lighter uid to soak into the

charcoal for 3 minutes before lighting.

Step 2

With lid open, stand back and carefully light charcoal and allow to burn until covered with a light ash

(approximately 20 minutes). Charcoal lighter uid must be allowed to completely burn off prior to closing the lid. (Fumes will tend to collect in both reboxes, when both lids are closed).

Step 3

After 20-25 minutes, charcoal should be ready for grilling. Use heat-resistant gloves or oven mitts when placing the cooking grates back into the grill. Refer to the next section before adding wood chips to pre-lit charcoal.

WARNING: 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.

WARNING: Never add charcoal lighting uid to hot or even warm coals as ashback may occur causing severe burns.

Allow the ashes to completely cool before reusing or cleaning the grill or smoker.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

AFTER USE SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE

WARNING

• Use caution when lifting and moving the unit to avoid strain injuries. Two people are recommended to lift or move the unit.

• DO NOT store the unit near gasoline or other combustible liquids or where combustible vapors may be present. Keep the area around the appliance clear and free of combustible materials and vapors.

• DO NOT store this appliance in an area accessible to children or pets. Store the appliance in a dry, protected location.

• DO NOT allow anyone to conduct activities around the appliance following use until it has cooled. It is hot during operation and remains hot for a period of time following use.

• DO NOT leave hot ashes unattended until the appliance cools completely.

• The grill becomes extremely hot – allow the appliance to cool completely before handling. Allow the grill to cool before removing and cleaning the grease cup.

• Dispose of cold ashes by wrapping them in heavy-duty aluminum foil and putting them in a noncombustible container.

• If you must dispose of the ashes in less time than it takes for them to completely cool, remove the

ashes using heat-resistant gloves, along with Dyna Glo ash scoop (if equipped), metal tongs, or re

place shovel. Place the ashes in aluminum foil. Completely soak the ashes with water before disposing of them in a noncombustible container.

CAUTION: All care and maintenance procedures are to be performed while the unit is completely cooled.

Clean the cooking grates with hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. You may prefer to coat the cooking grates lightly with cooking oil or cooking spray.

To clean the inside and outside of the grill body, simply use a damp cloth. Spray-washing with a water hose is not recommended. Moisture should be wiped away and not allowed to stand inside or on top of the unit. Once cleaned, you may prefer to lightly coat the interior of the grill body with cooking oil or cooking spray.

If rust is present on the exterior surface of the unit, clean the area with steel wool or emery cloth and use heavy-duty, heat-resistant paint.

NEVER apply additional paint to the interior of the unit. If rust is present on the interior of the grill, clean it thoroughly with steel wool or emery cloth and lightly coat the area with cooking oil or cooking spray to help minimize recurring rust.

To protect your unit from weather conditions, always keep it covered while not in use.
