OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS – TWIN EAGLES CHARCOAL GRILL

USING THE CHARCOAL GRILL

1. Check to be certain that the ash pan is in place and pushed all the way into the grill.

2. Remove the hex grates and pile the charcoal on the charcoal basket evenly. Note: Do not pile

more than 4 pounds of charcoal per charcoal basket. For indirect cooking leave one

basket empty.

3. To light charcoal, follow the recommended lighting procedure of the charcoal.

4. To raise and lower the charcoal basket, turn the crank either clockwise or counter-clockwise

until the desired height is achieved. (Crank will stop when at top of travel)

5. To add more charcoal, open the front access panel and pile the newly added charcoal evenly

across the charcoal baskets.

6. Allow grill to cool and clean the ash pan after each use.

when using the unit especially when adding charcoal or cranking the charcoal basket.

USING THE AIR VENTS

air flow of the charcoal grill. One vent on each side of the hood and one vent on the lower
portion of the front panel. A roasting effect can be obtained by closing the top vents on the side
of the hood. This will aid in maintaining a more constant temperature and will reduce the rate of
burn on the charcoal. This effect is increased by closing the front vents but depending on the
amount of charcoal used will take longer or shorter to create a change in burn rate. Conversely,
opening them will speed up the rate of burn but will reduce the roasting effect. The thermometer
on the hood can be used as a gauge of the burn rate but is more a measure of the ambient
temperature in the upper burn area of the grill. Adding more charcoal or raising the charcoal
baskets will increase this temperature. While using less charcoal or lowering the charcoal
baskets will decrease the overall temperature.

When the charcoal grill is in use, the surfaces of the grill will be HOT. Exercise caution

Air vents control the rate of burn of the charcoal. There are three locations to adjust the

WARNING!

USING THE OPTIONAL ROTISSERIE KIT

The Rotisserie system rotates the food on top of the charcoal for even cooking and juicier taste.

1. Install the rotisserie motor on the motor bracket and plug it in to proper voltage.

2. Insert the food on the middle of the spit rod and then secure it with the meat holders on both ends by

tightening the thumb screws on the meat forks. If multiple pieces of food will be cooked at the same
time, make sure the load is evenly balanced on the spit rod. Proper weight balancing will lead to
evenness of cooking and prolong the life of the rotisserie motor.

3. Insert the spit rod in the rotisserie motor. Reference assembly instructions for rotisserie assembly

instructions.

WARNING: When using the rotisserie always keep the front hood closed except when basting or
checking the meat for cooking completion. It is recommended to use a meat thermometer to check if
the food is completely cooked. NOTE: The rotisserie motor must be stored in an area secured from
the surrounding elements when not in use. Do not leave it mounted on the grill.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE – TWIN EAGLES CHARCOAL GRILL

STAINLESS STEEL

The TWIN EAGLES charcoal grill is made of all welded stainless steel. It is non-rusting and non­magnetic. Never clean the stainless steel when it is hot. After the initial grilling use, certain areas of the
grill may discolor. This is a normal discoloration caused by the intense heat given off by the charcoal.
Specks of grease can gather on the surface of the stainless steel and get baked-on. These can be removed
by using a mild abrasive pad (like Scotch Brite) with a stainless steel cleaner. Use the mildest cleaner
and always scrub in the direction of the grain.

Do not use steel wool to clean the grill. Do not use abrasives on the polished highlights. Be extra
careful when cleaning around the highlights. Metal polisher or mild chrome cleaner can be used to bring
back the luster on highlights. To touch-up minor scratches in the stainless steel, sand the affected
surface very lightly, with 100-dry grit emery sandpaper in the direction of the grain.

HEX GRATES

with a barbeque brush immediately after cooking is completed.

and steam. Dip a brass bristle barbeque brush in tap water and
scrub the hot grill. Dip the brush frequently in tap water. Steam,
created as water comes in contact with the hot grill, helps loosen
food particles stuck in the grill. These food particles will either
get burned off or fall into the cleaning pan. Cleaning of the grill
would be longer and more difficult if the grill racks are allowed
to cool before cleaning.

ASH PAN Allow the pan and its contents to cool before cleaning.
Slide the pan out and wipe it clean. Make sure the ash pan is fully
inserted back into the grill. It is highly recommended to clean the pan
after every use.

the back of the grill unit.

The easiest way to clean the hex grates is to scrub them

Wear a barbeque mitt to protect your hands from the heat

DO NOT use the grill without the ash pan pushed all the way to

CHARCOAL BASKETS

The charcoal baskets can be removed for cleaning. To remove,
grab on the handle at the rear and pull towards the front while pulling
upward. The rear pins should dislodge making the basket free to
remove. Installation is the opposite of removal. Some warpage may
occur when removed but should spring back in shape when re­installed. The charcoal baskets can be cleaned with soap and water but
avoid removing or spraying while hot.

WARNING: Trying to remove charcoal baskets while hot can
result in burns.
