MANAGING SOLID FUEL
MULTI-FUEL COOKING
Cooking with solid fuels over an extended period
of time requires more interaction than simple
gas grilling. Depending on how much cooking
you’re planning, you may need to occasionally add
additional fuel. You may also want to move charcoal
trays to different areas of the grill to create direct
and indirect zones as well as intense or milder heat
areas. For this reason, we’ve included a specialized,
custom tool and a pair of high temperature
protective leather gloves. The tool enables you to
lift and maintain the cooking grates in an open
position to access the fuel baskets.
WARNING!
NEVER FILL THE TRAYS BEYOND THE
MAXIMUM LEVEL INDICATED ON THE
TRAYS. THE GRILL WILL OVERHEAT
WHICH MAY CAUSE DAMAGE NOT
COVERED IN YOUR WARRANTY.
1.
Place a single layer of properly seasoned,
cooking wood chunks up to or below the
maximum level indicated on the fuel trays
you will be using. Image 6. above shows the
MAXIMUM allowable level to use in your
grill.
2.
Light the main burners to the left and right
sides of each tray and leave in the HIGH
position. LEAVE THE HOOD OPEN while
the wood begins to burn.
3.
Once the wood is burning at a proper level,
you may turn off the main burners and
close the hood if you wish.
4.
The wood fire will go through an intense
burning cycle before it is ready to be used
for cooking. Leave the hood open while this
occurs. Wait until the fire has burned down
to an appropriate level before closing the
hood and proceeding with cooking on the
grill. Generally, wood grilling is done over a
low and even flame that does not reach the
height of the cooking surface.

•
Always wear your protective gloves
while using the grill or any time you
come into contact with the grill while it
is hot. Never use the lifting tool without
your protective grilling gloves.
•
The back of the grate is secured using
2 positioning pins. Be careful not to
lift the rear of the grate off of the pins
when raising it to the open position
NOTE!
•
Your grill is designed so that you can lift
and secure the grates with the warming
rack in either the up or down position,
however you may want to put it in the
up position before lifting the cooking
grate.
1.
Insert the tail-hook at the heel of the tool
securely and fully in the hole at the front of
the center grate finger (the short one) as
shown in image 8.
2.
Carefully lift the front of the grate up and
backward toward the rear hood. Keep
pressure on the hook to prevent it from
coming out of the hole.
