OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE FIRST USE Remove all hangings or plastic straps, if present. It is important to "season" your grill, prior to cooking food. Seasoning seals the paint and interior of your grill to enhance flavoring, durability and overall performance. To season your grill, simply use it as you normally would without adding food. You will need to follow all of the lighting and operating procedures in the next few sections of this manual.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Lighting Instructions (Continued) Start with at least 2 lbs. (.91 kgs.) of charcoal (35-40 standard briquettes). Make adjustments as needed when cooking in colder climates or during high winds, and/or when fair amounts of precipitation are present. Step 1 Note: Please refer to the manufacturer’s recommended amount of charcoal lighter fluid before applying fluid to the briquettes.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Dry Wood Chips Dry wood chips can be placed directly onto the pre-lit charcoal with or without aluminum foil. FOLLOW THE STEPS BELOW BEFORE ADDING DRY WOOD CHIPS. The amount and type of wood used is entirely dependent on the desired amount of flavor. Refer to the chart on the next page for tips on paring wood chips with various food types. Step 1 Stand back and carefully open the offset lid allowing heat and steam to escape away from your face.
TIPS ON SMOKING Smoking foods is different from grilling foods. Smoking is typically done slowly and at lower temperature than grilling. The smoke produced by the wood infuses itself into the meat giving it that great smoked flavor. Grilling is a much quicker cooking process using higher temperatures. • Small wood chips work best inside the wood chip tray. • Use dry hardwoods such as hickory, pecan, apple, cherry or mesquite.
SUGGESTED SMOKING AND MEAT TEMPERATURES Smoking Temperatures Accurate smoking temperatures are critical for safely cooking food when meat probes are not available. Please understand that using the factory installed temperature gauge is an acceptable tool for smoking food; but it’s not always the ideal means of measuring the most accurate smoking temperature because internal smoker temperatures can vary between the top and bottom cooking grates.
