Cooking Tips – Flavoring wood:
• Small wood chips work best inside the wood chip box.
• Use dry hardwoods such as hickory, pecan, apple,
cherry, or mesquite.
• Most fruit or nut tree woods produce excellent smoke
flavoring
• Do not use resinous woods such as pine or plywood.
This usually produce unpleasant flavoring.
• Let your taste be your guide – experiment with different
types and quantities of wood chunks, chips, or sticks.
You can even mix woods.
•To produce more smoke and to prevent fast burning,
pre-soak the wood chips in a separate bowl of water
for at least 20 minutes, or wrap the chips in perforated
aluminum foil.
• Most smoke flavoring occurs within the first hour of
cooking. Adding wood chips after the first hour is
typically not necessary unless extra smoke flavoring is
desired.
Storing Your Grill
•Clean cooking grates.
•Store in dry location.
•When LP cylinder is connected to grill, store outdoors in a
well-ventilated space and out of reach of children.
•Cover grill if stored outdoors. Choose from a variety of grill
covers offered by manufacturer once available.
•Store grill indoors ONLY if LP cylinder is turned off and
Disconnected, remove from grill and stored outdoors.
• When removing grill from storage, follow "Cleaning the Burner
Assembly " instructions before starting grill.
CAUTION
SPIDER ALERT!
IMPORTANT: Always ensure that the venturi burner tubes
are clean. A venturi burner tube has a narrow area in
which spiders tend to build nests.
If you notice that your grill is getting hard to light or that the
flame isn't as strong as it should be, take the time to check and
clean the venturi's.
Spiders or small insects have been known to create "flashback"
problems. The spiders spin webs, build nests and lay eggs in the grill's
venturi tube(s) obstructing the flow of gas to the burner. The
backed-up gas can ignite in the venturi behind the control panel. This
is known as a flashback and it can damage your grill and even cause
injury.
To prevent flashbacks and ensure good performance the burner and
venturi assembly should be removed from the grill and cleaned
before use whenever the grill has been idle for an extended period.
Cleaning the Burner Assembly
Follow these instructions to clean and/or replace parts of burner
assembly or if you have trouble igniting grill.
1. Turn gas off at control knobs and LP cylinder
2. Remove cooking grates and heat diffusers.
3. Remove cotter pin from rear of burners. (See Fig A. next
Page)
4. Carefully lift each burner up and away from valve openings.
We suggest three ways to clean the burner tubes. Use the one
easiest for you.
