Seasoning, Curing, and Preparing
IMPORTANT! BEFORE YOU USE YOUR GRILL FOR THE FIRST TIME
YOU MUST SEASON AND CURE IT TO PROTECT INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR FINISHES
AND PREVENT THE ADDITION OF UNNATURAL FLAVORS TO YOUR FOOD.
NOTE:
Grill interiors are not painted. The interior is coated with vegetable oil. DO NOT remove this
coating. It helps protect your grill from rusting.
1. Lightly coat all interior surfaces (including inside of barrel and cooking grates) with vegetable oil
(spray vegetable oil is easiest but KEEP AWAY FROM HOT COALS, FIRE OR FLAME).
2. Charcoal
Grill
: Build a medium sized fi re on the fi re grate. Stack 2 lbs (1 kg.) of charcoal
(approximately 30 briquettes) in a pyramid and saturate with lighter fl uid. DO NOT use gasoline.
Light coals in several places. When charcoals ash over or turn gray, spread out from the pyramid
into a fl at single layer. Close charcoal grill hood. ALWAYS follow charcoal and lighter fl uid
manufacturers’ instructions and warnings.
3. Gas
Grill:
Light burners and set on Medium-Low heat. Close gas grill hood.
4. Maintain
250
°
F (121°C) temperature on both grills for two (2) hours. For gas grill, simply adjust
knobs and monitor temperature. For charcoal grill, control heat with dual dampers and adjustable
fi re grate. Adjust grate one end at a time. More airfl ow means more heat.
5. NEVER EXCEED 450°F (230°C) AS THIS WILL DAMAGE THE FINISH AND CONTRIBUTE TO
RUST.
6. You can lightly coat the exterior of the grill body (while warm) with vegetable oil. This will extend the
life of the fi nish, much like waxing a car. Your grill is now ready for use.
PAINT IS NOT WARRANTED AND WILL REQUIRE OCCASIONAL TOUCH-UPS.
THIS UNIT IS NOT WARRANTED AGAINST RUST.
NOTE: Grill will drip oil during this process and for several uses afterwards. This is normal.
CLEANING AND CARE
CAUTION: All cleaning and maintenance should be done while grill is completely cool and with gas
cylinder valve completely closed.
DO NOT clean any grill part in a self-cleaning oven. The extreme heat will damage the fi nish.
Periodic cleaning of this grill is necessary.
