HOW
IS
IT
DIFFERENT
FROM
Propane and butane are similar to natural gas. They are colorless,
non-poisonous
and do not pollute when burnt. There is one important
difference,
propane and butane are heavier than air, if they escape they
don't float away. The gas collects and forms gas pools at ground level
or at the bottom of your appliance.

FIRST TIME
USE OF BBQ
Before using the BBQ for the first time, it is important to season the
porcelain coated cast iron cooking grills to protect them from rusting
and to provide that wonderful non-stick surface. This can be done in
three easy steps.
I. Wash the grills using a light detergent and water. Rinse then dry
with a towel. Never air-dry grids or wash them in a dishwasher.
2. Spread a thin coating of cooking oil over entire surface of the cast
iron grids with a basting brush or oil mister. Be certain the entire
surface, including all corners, have been coated thoroughly.
a. We recommend using a high smoke point oil like one of these
organic cold pressed cooking oils.
3. Turn on the grill and operate on Med/Low (400F or 200C) for 30
minutes.
This
creates a non-stick protective layer.
