FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: The paint finish inside my lid is peeling. What can I do?
You are seeing a deposit of grease and smoke that collects during normal use that resembles
paint. These carbon deposits are non-toxic, but you may want to regularly remove the
build-up. Remove buildup using a brass or stiff bristle brush before grilling. Future build-up
can be avoided by simply wiping the grill lid while slightly warm with a mild soap-and-water
solution.
Q: When can I put my meat on the grill?
Grill is ready for use when charcoal is ashed over and no visible flames are present.
Q: How do I regulate the heat on my grill?
Adjusting the dampers will increase and decrease airflow and heating.
SAFE STORAGE AND MAINTENANCE
• Inspect bolt, hex lock nut and hex flange nut tightness on a regular basis to ensure grill is in
safe working condition.
• ALWAYS allow grill to cool completely before handling.
• ALWAYS empty charcoal pan after use only when ashes have completely cooled.
This will help prolong charcoal pan life.
• Clean grill, including special surfaces such as cooking grates with mild cleaning
agents. Wipe outside of grill with damp rag. DO NOT use oven cleaner.
• ALWAYS cover and store cold grill in a protected area.
• Indoor storage of grill is permissible only if the charcoal has burned to a complete
ash AND is cold. Remember to remove cold ashes before storing.
• Grill is made of steel and may rust over time. If rusting occurs on outside surfaces,

• If rusting occurs on the inside surface of grill, clean area with sandpaper or steel
wool, then coat with cooking oil.
