CAUTION

SPIDER ALERT!

SPIDER AND WEBS

INSIDE BURNER

Your burner might be different

If your grill is getting hard to light or the flame is weak,
check and clean the venturis and burners.

Cleaning the Burner Assembly

Follow these instructions to clean and/or replace parts of burner
assembly or if you have trouble igniting grill.

1. Turn gas off at control knobs and LP cylinder.

2. Remove cooking grates and heat tents.

3. Remove carryover tubes and hardware securing burners.

4. Detach electrode from burner.

NOTE: Removal/Detachment method will depend on the
burner configuration. See different configurations in
illustrations below.

5. Carefully lift each burner up and away from valve openings.
We suggest three ways to clean the burner tubes. Use

the one easiest for you.

(A) Bend a stiff wire (a light weight coat hanger works well)

into a small hook. Run the hook through each burner
tube several times.

Spiders or small insects are known to create “flashback”
problems by building nests and laying eggs in the grill’s
venturi or burner, obstructing the flow of gas. The back­up gas can ignite behind the control panel. This
flashback can damage your grill and cause injury. To
prevent flashbacks and ensure good performance the
burner and venturi tube assembly should be removed
and cleaned when ever the grill has been idle for an
extended period of time.

General Grill Cleaning

• Do not mistake brown or black accumulation of grease and
smoke for paint. Interiors of gas grills are not painted at the
factory (and should never be painted). Apply a strong solution
of detergent and water or use a grill cleaner with scrub brush on
insides of grill lid and bottom. Rinse and allow to completely air
dry. Do not apply a caustic grill/oven cleaner to painted
surfaces.

• Plastic parts: Wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry.

• Do not use citrisol, abrasive cleaners, degreasers or a

concentrated grill cleaner on plastic parts. Damage to and
failure of parts can result.

• Porcelain surfaces: Because of glass-like composition, most

residue can be wiped away with baking soda/water solution or
specially formulated cleaner. Use nonabrasive scouring
powder for stubborn stains.

• Painted surfaces: Wash with mild detergent or nonabrasive

cleaner and warm soapy water. Wipe dry with a soft
nonabrasive cloth.

• Stainless steel surfaces: To maintain your grill’s high quality

appearance, wash with mild detergent and warm soapy water
and wipe dry with a soft cloth after each use. Baked-on
grease deposits may require the use of an abrasive plastic
cleaning pad. Use only in direction of brushed finish to avoid
damage. Do not use abrasive pad on areas with graphics.

• Cooking surfaces: 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.

(B) Use a narrow bottle brush with a flexible handle (do not

use a brass wire brush). Run the brush through each
burner tube several times.

(C) Wear eye protection: Use an air hose to force air into

the burner tube and out the burner ports. Check each port
to make sure air comes out each hole.

6. Wire brush entire outer surface of burner to remove food
residue and dirt.

7. Clean any blocked ports with a stiff wire such as an open

paper clip.

8. Check burner for damage due to normal wear and corrosion,

some holes may become enlarged. If any large cracks or holes
are found, replace burner.

VERY IMPORTANT: Burner tubes must
reengage valve openings. See
illustrations at right.

Correct burner-to­valve engagement

9. Attach electrode to burner.

10. Carefully replace burners.

11. Attach burners to brackets on firebox.

12. Reposition carryover tubes and attach to burners. Replace

heat tents and cooking grates.

13. Before cooking again on grill, perform a “Leak Test” and

“Burner Flame Check”.

PREPARING TO USE YOUR SMOKER

Before cooking with your smoker, 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.

1. Brush all interior surfaces including grills and grates with
vegetable cooking oil.

2. Build a small fire on the fire grate or pan, being sure not to
lay coals against the walls.

3. Close door. (Position damper and smokestack damper
approximately at one quarter open.) This burn should be
sustained for at least two hours, the longer the better. Then,
begin increasing temperature by opening the damper and
smokestack damper half-way and adding more charcoal.
Your smoker is now ready for use.

Rust can appear on the inside of your smoker. Maintaining a
light coat of vegetable oil on interior surfaces will aid in the
protection of your unit. Exterior surfaces of smoker may need
occasional touch up. We recommend the use of a commercially
available black high temperature spray paint. NEVER PAINT
THE INTERIOR OF THE UNIT !

COOKING TIPS

Building Your Fire

1. Stack charcoal briquettes or wood into a pyramid-shaped pile
on top of the charcoal grate or ash pan. We recommend using
2 pounds (approximately 30 briquettes) 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. 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 grate
using a long-handled poker.

SMOKER MAINTENANCE

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.

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.
Using caution, arrange the hot coals on your charcoal grate
based on your desired method of cooking. 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 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.

SMOKING AND SLOW COOKING

Food Safety

Remove the cooking grill from the firebox and build your fire on
top of the fire grate in the firebox. Either charcoal or wood may
be used, but wood is the recommended fuel for it’s rate of burn
and the flavor it imparts to the food being cooked. Most
seasoned hardwoods are good for smoking such as hickory,
mesquite, pecan, oak, and many other fruit woods. Bark should
be avoided or burned off first as it contains a high acid content
and imparts an acrid flavor.

After allowing the fire to burn down, close the doors and control
the temperature and smoke with the dampers located on the
firebox and atop the smokestack. Smoke is contained within the
chambers, which will reduce burn while imparting more smoke
flavor. Do not operate the Smoker with temperatures exceeding
450 degrees in the smoker chamber. Place the food in the
smoker chamber and monitor the temperature. Cooking and
smoking are taking place using indirect heat. There is no need
to worry about a grease fire flare-up ruining the food. Do not
place food within 6” of the opening from the firebox into the
smoker chamber. A general rule of thumb for cooking is about 1
hour per pound for smoking large cuts of meat. Refer to a cook
book for specific cuts of meat. Limit the number of times you
open the smoker chamber door as this will allow heat to escape
and extend the cooking time.

SMOKING 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.

Our Recommendations:

Chicken - Alder, Apple, Hickory, Mesquite
Beef - Hickory, Mesquite, Oak
Pork - Fruitwoods, Hickory, Oak
Lamb - Fruitwoods, Mesquite
Veal - Fruitwoods, Grapevines
Seafood - Alder, Mesquite
Vegetables – Mesquite

Food safety is a very important part of enjoying the outdoor
cooking experience. To keep food safe from harmful bacteria,
follow these four basic steps:

Clean: Wash hands, utensils, and surfaces with hot soapy water
before and after handling raw meat.
Separate: Separate raw meats from ready-to-eat foods to avoid
cross contamination. Use a clean platter and utensils when
removing cooked foods.
Cook: Cook meat and poultry thoroughly to kill bacteria. Use a
thermometer to ensure proper internal food temperatures.
Chill: Refrigerate prepared foods and leftovers promptly.

Cooking on your new grill is a hands-on experience, and it is
recommended to remain outside with your grill while cooking.
Grilling can be affected by many external conditions. In cold
weather, you will need more heat to reach an ideal cooking
temperature, and grilling may take longer. The meat's internal
temperature and thickness can also affect cooking times. Cold
and thicker meats will take longer to cook.

Internal Meat Temperatures

Meat cooked on a grill often browns very fast on the outside.
Therefore, use a meat thermometer to ensure it has reached
safe internal temperatures.
