to the inside of the Handle and line up the Square Hole in the Strut with the hole at the bottom center of the Cover end panel. Secure
the Cover Strut with a 3/8" x 3/4" Zinc Plated Carriage Bolt installed through the Strut and a 3/8" “2-way” Lock Nut installed on the
inside of the Grill Cover (see Fig. 4, Page 1). The Bolt installs so that the square neck rests inside the Square Hole in the Cover and
prevents the Bolt from rotating as the Lock Nut is tightened with a wrench on the inside of the Grill Cover.
Caution: Do Not over tighten the Lock Nut to avoid restricting the movement of the Cover Strut and the Cover.
Push the notch at the lower end of the Cover Strut (D) down onto the Grate Handle bar to lock the Grill Cover in the open position so
that it can't accidently fall forward and close (see Fig. 5). To close the Grill Cover, tilt the Cover back and lift the lower end of the Strut
to disengage the notch to allow the slot in the Strut to slide down and to the rear as the Cover pivots forward.
6. With the Grill Cover lock-
ed in the open position,
the Vent Covers (F) may
be mounted by installing
a 3/8" x 3/4" Carriage
Bolt through the Square
Hole in the center of each
Cover and through each
of the holes located in the
center of each cluster of
three Vent Holes on both
ends of the Firebox and
Cover (see Figs. 5 & 6).
Install 3/8" “2-way” Lock
Nuts on the insides of the
Cover or Firebox.
Note: For convenience,
the Vent Cover (F)
located over the Clean-
out Door may also be
used as a hook from
which to hang an ash bucket
(see Fig. 5).
Caution: Do not over
tighten the Lock Nuts to
avoid restricting rotation of
the Vent Covers.
7. Install the Utility Shelf (G) on
the left end of the Firebox
half of the Grill (A) using the
(3) 7/16" dia. holes about 2"
down from the top edge (see
Fig. 7). Install (3) 3/8" x 3/4" Carriage Bolts through the Square Holes in the Shelf and (3)
Lock Nuts on the inside of the Firebox.
8. The Bottom Grate Hook (H) (see Fig. 8) is used to pull the Bottom Coal Grate in the Firebox
up and out of the way to allow easy clean-out of ashes through the Clean-out Door. It is not a
part to be installed on the grill. When not in use the Grate Hook may be stored in between
the side wall of the Swivel Mechanism and the Base Post (see Fig. 8).
IMPORTANT! GRILL MAINTENANCE:
In order to maximize the useful lifetime of your grill fi rebox and cooking grate, follow these steps:
1. Firebox: Regularly clean out all coal and wood ash from the fi rebox bottom. Rainwater and ash accelerate the rusting process. The high heat
paint will last between one and two years depending on use. When there are signs of rusting, wire brush off surface rust and spray or brush apply
another coat of non-toxic high heat black enamel. ONLY apply paint when there is NO FIRE in the grill and the fi rebox has COOLED to Air
Temperature. If the grill is not used for extended periods, occasionally rotate the fi rebox on the post to break any rust bond that might be forming.
To prevent fi rebox warping, DO NOT build extremely hot, large fi res or maintain them for extended periods of time. The grills are reinforced to
resist warping but overbuilt fi res are outside the design parameters and intended purpose of their use.
2. Cooking Grate: The cooking grate should be seasoned before grilling directly on the steel grate. Season the grate by gradually burning the
high heat, non toxic paint off the grate bars as the grill is used. As the grate is heated, use a wire brush to both clean the grate and remove any
paint chips. Until the grate is seasoned use aluminum foil to cover the grate bars, or use a pan or pot to cook food.
Once the grate is seasoned use a wire brush to remove rust and food particles before each use. Heat the grate by keeping it close to the coals. Then
raise the grate and scrape it clean. The best seasoned grate has the original fi nish burned off and has a good coating of grease on the steel grate bars.
Do not re-paint the cooking grate. Grease from cooking meat will usually keep rust at bay and a good wire brushing after the grate is hot also
helps. If there is still rust on the grate, use aluminum foil between your food and the grate. Additionally, a cooking oil may be applied before
each use. CAUTION: Be sure to apply this cooking oil BEFORE starting the fi re!
Local environment and climatic conditions may require more frequent maintenance.
