OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
USING THE CHARCOAL GRILL
1.
Check to be certain that the ash pan is in place and pushed all the way into the grill.
2.
Remove the hex grates and pile the charcoal on the charcoal basket evenly.
Note: Do not pile more
than 4 pounds of charcoal per charcoal basket. For indirect cooking leave one basket empty.
3.
To light charcoal, follow the recommended lighting procedure of the charcoal.
4.
To raise and lower the charcoal basket, turn the crank either clockwise or counter-clockwise until the
desired height is achieved. (Crank will stop when at top of travel)
5.
To add more charcoal, open the front access panel and pile the newly added charcoal evenly across the
charcoal baskets.
6.
Allow grill to cool and clean the ash pan after each use.
USING THE OPTIONAL ROTISSERIE KIT
The Rotisserie system rotates the food on top of the charcoal for even cooking and juicier taste.
1.
Install the rotisserie motor on the motor bracket and plug it in to proper voltage.
2.
Insert the food on the middle of the spit rod and then secure it with the meat holders on both ends by
tightening the thumb screws on the meat forks. If multiple pieces of food will be cooked at the same
time, make sure the load is evenly balanced on the spit rod. Proper weight balancing will lead to
evenness of cooking and prolong the life of the rotisserie motor.
3.
Insert the spit rod in the rotisserie motor. Reference assembly instructions for rotisserie assembly
instructions.
WARNING:
When using the rotisserie always keep the front hood closed except when basting or checking the
meat for cooking completion. It is recommended to use a meat thermometer to check if the food is completely
cooked.
NOTE:
The rotisserie motor must be stored in an area secured from the surrounding elements
when not in use. Do not leave it mounted on the grill.
WARNING!
When the charcoal grill is in use, the surfaces of the grill will be
HOT.
Exercise caution when using
the unit especially when adding charcoal or cranking the charcoal basket.
USING THE AIR VENTS
Air vents control the rate of burn of the charcoal. There are three locations to adjust the air flow of
the charcoal grill. One vent on each side of the hood and one vent on the lower portion of the front panel. A
roasting effect can be obtained by closing the top vents on the side of the hood. This will aid in maintaining
a more constant temperature and will reduce the rate of burn on the charcoal. This effect is increased by
closing the front vents but depending on the amount of charcoal used will take longer or shorter to create a
change in burn rate. Conversely, opening them will speed up the rate of burn but will reduce the roasting
effect. The thermometer on the hood can be used as a gauge of the burn rate but is more a measure of the
ambient temperature in the upper burn area of the grill. Adding more charcoal or raising the charcoal
baskets will increase this temperature. While using less charcoal or lowering the charcoal baskets will
decrease the overall temperature.
