Step 5
With coals burning strong, close the lid. Allow the temperature to reach 225° F (107° C) on temperature
gauge. Maintain this temperature for 2 hours.
Step 6
Increase the temperature to 400° F (205° C) on temperature gauge. This can be achieved by adding more
charcoal and/or wood (see "Adding Charcoal/Wood During Cooking" section of this manual). Maintain this
temperature for 1 hour then allow unit to cool completely.
NOTE: It is important that the exterior of the grill is not scraped or rubbed during the curing process.
IMPORTANT: To protect your grill from excessive rust, the unit must be cured periodically and
covered at all times when not in use.
COOKING WITH YOUR GRILL
Step 1
Lightly coat all interior surfaces of the grill including cooking grills with vegetable oil or vegetable oil spray.
Do not coat charcoal rack.
Step 2
Follow the instructions below carefully to build a fire. You may use charcoal and/or wood as fuel in the
barrel grill (see "Adding Charcoal/Wood During Cooking" section of this manual).
WARNING: Never use charcoal that has been pre-treated with lighter fluid. Use only a plain charcoal
or charcoal/wood mixture.
If using a charcoal chimney starter, follow all manufacturer's warnings and instructions regarding use, and
start with 2.6 – 2.8 pounds of charcoal. When charcoal is burning strong, carefully place hot coals in center
of charcoal rack.
WARNING: DO NOT use grill without charcoal rack in place. DO NOT attempt to remove charcoal rack
while rack contains hot coals.
NOTE: To extend the life of your grill, make sure that hot coals and wood do not touch the walls of grill.
IF USING CHARCOAL CHIMNEY STARTER, PROCEED TO STEP 5.
If you choose to use charcoal lighting fluid, ONLY use charcoal lighting fluid approved for lighting
charcoal. Do not use gasoline, kerosene, alcohol or other flammable materials for lighting charcoal.
Follow all manufacturer's warnings and instructions regarding use. Start with 2.6 – 2.8 pounds of charcoal.
Place the charcoal in center of each charcoal rack.
Step 3
Saturate charcoal with lighting fluid. With lid open wait 2 to 3 minutes to allow lighting fluid to soak into
charcoal. Store charcoal lighting fluid a safe distance from the grill.
Step 4
With grill lid open, stand back and carefully light charcoal and allow to burn until covered with a light ash
(approximately 20 minutes).
WARNING: Charcoal lighting fluid must be allowed to completely burn off prior to closing grill lid and
doors (approximately 20 minutes). Failure to do this could trap fumes from charcoal lighting fluid in grill and
may result in a flash-fire or explosion when lid is opened.
Step 5
Place cooking grates on grate supports.
WARNING: Always wear oven mitts/gloves when removing cooking grate to protect your hands from
burns.
