Grill Maintenance, Cooking Techniques, and Recipes Grill Maintenance Regular cleaning and care for your Evo flat-top cooking surface will keep your grill looking and functioning it’s best. Caring for Evo’s cook surface is much like maintaining cast iron cookware. When the surface requires cleaning, there are a few basic cleaning techniques to use. For quick and routine cleaning between preparations, a metal spatula works for removing the majority of surface debris.
Cooking Poultry Boneless cuts that have been flattened to an even thickness with a meat mallet cook more evenly and more quickly. Poultry that has been prepared in this way can then be marinated, breaded or rubbed with spices before searing on the grill. Poultry can also be roasted, braised, sautéed, fried or poached on the Evo grill. Roast as you would in your kitchen oven placing the roast in a roasting pan with a rack and using the hood to contain the heat from the grill.
food slightly off the surface allowing smoke and air to circulate. When placing Evo’s hood over the food and wood chips you create “hot smoke,” since the food is being cooked and smoked simultaneously. Placing the chips onto one heat zone and the food onto the other heat zone allows you to control the smoke and cooking temperature independently. Items that take longer to cook, such as pork ribs, require you add more chips as the old chips burn out.

CAN/CGA-B149.2 Propane Installation code latest edition. Handling of LP tanks must conform to NFPA / ANSI 58 - latest edition. Do not install or use grill within 36” of combustible materials from back and sides of grill.

optimum non-stick cooking surface you will first need to ‘season’ your cooking surface with oil cooked into the steel surface- much like seasoning a cast iron skillet. SEASONING AND USING YOUR COOK SURFACE To provide the non-stick surface preferred for cooking delicate food items, it is necessary to “season” the cook surface with a small amount of vegetable cooking oil. We recommend corn oil because it produces a better seasoned surface than regular vegetable oil.
REMOVAL AND STORAGE OF LP GAS TANK Never store LP gas tank indoors. When grill is stored indoors, shut tank valve off and disconnect tank from grill. Tank must be stored outdoors in well-ventilated area, away from and out of the reach of children. Loosen coupling nut located on tank regulator and tank valve by turning counterclockwise using hand only - do not use tools. Next loosen tank securing screws at foot of tank along with frame-assembly cross member Figure 1 and remove tank.
