PLANNING THE LOCATION OF YOUR POST GRILL
This grill is designed FOR OUTDOOR USE ONLY.
DO NOT use this unit under unprotected fl ammable surfaces. DO NOT use this appliance inside a building, garage,
or any other enclosed area. It must not be used in or on recreational vehicles or boats.
Important: This unit is NOT insulated; therefore, during use it must be located with a minimum of 18" of side
and back clearance from unprotected combustible materials, such as wood, plastic, or stucco with
wood framing.
EXHAUST REMOVAL
If installed or used under a patio roof, the cooking grid area should be fully covered by a chimney and exhaust
hood. An exhaust fan with a rating of 1,000 CFM (cubic feet per minute) or more may be necessary to effi ciently
remove smoke and other cooking by-products from the covered area. THIS UNIT SHOULD NOT BE LOCATED
IN A FULLY ENCLOSED AREA OF ANY KIND.

approximately 18"
Ground level
deep and 10-12" in
diameter.
Concrete level

36" above ground
level.
3. While the concrete is still wet, carefully lower
the grill post and attached extension into the
hole.
4. Orient the grill per plan, then level the grill and
support it so that it remains in position while the
concrete dries.

inside the grill enclosure.
2. Open the door in the front panel as shown in Fig.
3-3. Insert the threaded end into the crank
handle through the hole on the right of the grill
face and into the nut on the frame as shown.
3. Center the crank on the nut and begin cranking
in a clockwise direction until the threads have
properly caught hold.
4. Close the door in the front panel and continue
cranking until the lifter begins to move upward
inside the grill.

RIGID SHELF ASSEMBLY
This grill comes with two (2) rigid shelves that must
be attached. These can be attached using the four
(4) support screws provided and a long Phillips-head
screwdriver.
1. Hold the shelf inverted so that one of the corner
holes in the shelf lines up with the appropriate
upper screw hole in the grill.
2. Insert the screw (but do not tighten all the way)
so that the shelf can be easily rotated around
the fi rst screw.
3. Line up the second corner hole in the shelf with
the remaining upper screw hole in the grill. Insert
a screw and tighten.
Note: You may lift the edge of the shelf upward
to gain better access during much of the
tightening of this screw.
4. Finally, insert the bottom screws on the left and
right side of the shelf and securely tighten all
screws.
Detaching is the reverse process of above.

OPERATION
Simple to use, this elegant stainless-steel charcoal
grill has the added benefi t of an adjustable charcoal
pan to allow you to change the height of the charcoal
while cooking, and gives you the ability to add fuel
without having to remove the cooking grids. This
enables the outdoor chef to be in complete control
of the cooking heat at the grilling surface.
USING YOUR CHARCOAL GRILL
1. Remove the cooking grids and pile your charcoal
on the charcoal pan(s). Avoid spillage.
2. Follow the instructions supplied with your
charcoal/fuel for lighting.
3. Use the access door to add or spread out your
coals while cooking.
CAUTION: Use long-handled insulated barbecuing
tools to prevent burns from hot metal
or coals.
4. Turning the crank handle raises or lowers the
pan to increase or decrease the grilling heat as
you desire.

ACCESSORIES
WARMING RACK
The warming rack (See Fig. 2-1) is pre-assembled at
the factory and is useful in keeping food warm during
or after cooking.
Note: Please take into consideration that the warming
rack moves closer to the grill when the oven lid is
closed.
AIR SHUTTERS
Fig. 5-1
USING THE GRILL BRUSH
Purchase a Fire Magic® stainless-steel grill brush to
keep your grid top clean. Complete with scraper for large
particles and replaceable head with brass bristles for
overall cleaning.
CAUTION: The air shutters become
very hot when the grill
is in use. Use a tool or
heat-insulated glove to adjust the air
shutters.
The air shutters (Fig. 5-1) on both sides of the oven
can be used to regulate the fl ow of air to the coals when
the oven is closed.
Fig. 5-2
CHARCOAL PROTECTOR
The charcoal protector allows meat
drippings to drip down to the drip tray
without affecting the charcoal.
Place it over the coals as shown in Fig. 5-2.
DRIP TRAY SPACER
The drip tray spacer (see Parts List, item No. 5) sits on
top of the drip tray with the charcoal on top of it. It creates
an air space to prevent the drip tray from overheating.

Grill brush with replacement head
USING THE COOKING GRID LIFTER
Hold the grid lifter by gripping the center section with the
prongs pointing down (use an oven mitt or heavy glove
if the grill is hot). Insert the notched end of the grid lifter
into the cooking grid, in front of the midway point (front
to back; Fig. 5-4), and central (left to right; Fig. 5-
5). Twist the grid lifter (clockwise or counterclockwise)
so the handle is parallel to the grid rods. This “seats” the
spiked end of the grid lifter between two rods, enabling
you to safely lift the grid out of the grill. Lift slowly and
adjust the grid lifter, if necessary, to balance.
