OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

COOKING METHODS

You can use your GRILL AND SMOKER to cook three different ways 

depending on the type 

of food, and how  you want to prepare it.

GRILLING

Grilling  is cooking directly over the fire, using direct heat. This method is the quickest and works  

well for food that is tender before you cook it 

including steaks, beef or pork tenderloin,

burgers,  hot dogs, sausages, chicken, seafood, etc. Vegetables are also wonderful when grilled.

Grilling  uses very high temperatures that are over 165C

°

/ 325

°

F. When cooking at these 

temperatures, it  is important to carefully watch your food to keep it from burning. Also, closing 

the lid  to put out any grease flare-up that may occur when flipping burgers or steaks.

BARBECUING

Barbecuing is cooking using indirect heat and smoke. This method takes a little longer, but can  

be used for nearly any kind of food you want to cook (including  those above). As barbecuing

uses lower temperatures and longer cooking times 

this method works best for cuts of meat 

that need time to tenderize 

such as ribs, brisket, pork shoulder, wild game, etc.

Barbecuing uses temperatures from110C

°

/ 225

°

F to 165C

°

/ 325

°

F. Try maintain 135C

°

275

°

F for optimal results. Use  your imagination when barbecuing, as the possibilities are

endless!

SLOW SMOKING

Slow smoking uses much lower temperatures and much longer cooking times. Slow smoking

is actually a way to cure meats rather than cook them. Slow smoking is ideal for turkeys,

chickens, beef briskets, cheese and sausage.

Slow smoking uses temperatures that range from 60C

°

/ 140

°

F to 110C

°

/ 225

°

F. Most slow

smoking recipes call for the use of a saline brine that helps preserve the meat and avoid

bacterial contamination during the cooking process.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

GRILL MAINTENANCE

Frequency of cleaning is determined by how often the grill  is used. Make sure coals are

completely  extinguished and the grates are cooled down before cleaning inside of the unit. To 

remove the  stains on the lid and front panel caused by the fumigation while grilling, use of a 

cleaning pad is recommended. Wipe out the interior of unit with cloth or paper towel. Clean the 

grates with warm  water and pat dry. The coating is fragile. Do not knock, hit or drop the grates.
