Thank YOU for your purchase of a Vidalia Grill. Your grill is
designed for a lifetime of use. Great care and testing went into the design
and development of this grill and we want you to be totally satisfied with
your purchase. Most components of the grill are made from aluminum
which conducts heat very evenly and very fast. You will find that even on
the indirect side, your Vidalia Grill will cook everything evenly without hot
or cold spots. Most internal components that come in contact with a direct
flame are made from stainless steel, including the burner, which is a high
quality 304 stainless steel. The marinade and Flavor Bar pans are also
made from stainless steel and the burners are stainless steel tubes. The
Vidalia Grill is built to last and last and last. . . who said you can't take it
with you? We didn't!

Introducing the new standard for grilling!

The Vidalia Grill offers many features not found on traditional outdoor grills. Because of its
unique reversible twin pan design and dual direct and indirect cooking surfaces, The Vidalia Grill
can grill and sear to per fe ct ion a nd ca n a l so ro as t, sm ok e, s tea m , b ak e, bo il an d ev en fr y w i tho ut the
addition of expensive accessories.

The Vidalia Grill cooks with the convenience of bottled or natural g a s w i t h f l a vor
enha nc em en ts fr o m w ood o r c ha rc oa l i f d e sir ed . Th e a mo un t of added flavor can be regulated by
using more or less wood, charcoal or pellets. Simply add the wood chips or charcoal to the Flavor
Bars in the left stainless steel pan that is positioned directly over the burner. Ashes from the wo od
or charcoal will accumulate in a stainle ss steel tray at the ba se of th e grill's burne r. The steel tr ay
slides out after cooking for easy cleaning.

The ri ght sid e of the g ril l fro m th e ce nte r is used for ind ire ct co oki ng. Since your food is never
exposed to a direct flame on th is side of th e grill, there is never a worry about flare up. This also
eliminates the need to constantly turn your food to prevent burning. Larger meats such as whole
chickens, turkeys and hams can be easily and thoroughly cooked without using a rotisserie. The
drippings from the food are retained in a stainless mari nade pan which becomes hot when the g rill is
at operating temperatures. The drippings falling into the pan's heated water return flavor to the food
as th e wa te r e va po ra te s a n d a ls o p ro vi de s mo is tu re to th e h ea t ed ai r i ns id e the grill so that food
remains moist and juicy even if it is overcooked. By adding liquid seasonings to the water under
the food, The Vidalia Grill can baste and marinate the food as it cooks. Apple cider vinegar, lemon
juice, pineapple juice, liqui d smoke or Wor cestershire sauce wo rk really we ll for adding extra flavor
to your food.

Ready to do more? By simply lifting o ut the left side sta inless steel Flavor Bar pan and

sliding the stainless steel marinade pan from the right side of the grill to the left side, which is
directly over the burner, you have converted your grill into a steamer. Now you can steam your
favori te f oo ds such as oyste rs, shrimp, lobster, sausage and even vegetables. You can even place
food in the boiling water to boil and steam at the same time. Imagine boiling shrimp and steaming
lobster at the same time! Instead of water, a small amount of cooking oil can be added to the
stainless steel pan allowing you to stir-fry foods or prepare scrambled eggs and pancakes. The
stainless steel pan lifts right out for quick, easy clean up.

Because of its rust free stainless steel and aluminum construction, water and years of

outdoor use are not a problem. That1 s why we o ffer the following warranty:

• 99-Year rust- through warranty on grill body.

• Pro-rated burner warranty for 10 years.

• 20-Year warranty on grate s & pans

• 2-Year warranty on: knobs, igniter, wheels & caster s, regulator, gas hose ,

and manifold.

(Warranty is for parts only and does not include shipping cost.)

The Vidalia Grill is available in four sizes (models 440, 628, 983 and 1396). Each grill’s model
number relates to its square inch cooking surface.
