• Before cooking for the rst me, we recommend burning on high for 30 minutes with the lid and base
vents fully open. This will burn o any lubricants used in the manufacturing process.
• Fully open the vent on the lid and base each me you light your grill.
• Ensure the ash pan is cleaned out from the previous use and then re-install.
• The grill can be used either with our without the center air de ector. The de ector will ensure more
even temperatures and will slow the rate of burn in the center of the grill.
• Use either the Ultrachef Charcoal Starter (not included) following the instruc ons included in the
manual, or place lighter cubes or lightly crumpled newspaper on and around the air de ector. Place
the charcoal in a cone shaped pile in the center of the unit (direct cooking method) or the op onal
charcoal baskets (indirect method).
• Once fully lit, close the lid and allow the charcoal to burn un l it is covered in a light grey ash
(approximately 20 minutes), arrange the charcoal using tongs with heat resistant handles according to
the cooking method you are going to use.
• Starter uid can be used to light the charcoal, but it is not the preferred method. It can be messy and
may leave a chemical taste on the food if not completely burned o prior to cooking. Once lit, never

Cooking With Your Grill
• We recommend prehea ng the grill by opera ng it with the lid closed for approximately 20 minutes.
The coals are ready when they have a light coa ng of grey ash.
• As a general rule plan on using about 50 brique es to cook 2 lb. (1kg) of meat. If cooking for more
than 30 to 40 minutes, addi onal brique es must be added to the re. When the weather is cold or
windy, you will need more brique es to reach ideal cooking temperatures.
• Use cau on when adding charcoal to the grill. Flames may are up when coals come in contact with
fresh air. Stand back a safe distance and use a long-handled heat-resistant cooking tongs to add
addi onal charcoal brique es.
• Lid vents on a covered grill are usually le open to allow air into the grill. Air increases the burning
temperature of the coals. You can regulate the grill's temperature by moving the vent slide to the
right or le .
• Allow food to cook with the lid closed. Every me the lid is removed, the temperature drops. This
leads to lower temperatures and longer cooking mes.
• Closing the vents either par ally or completely will help to cool down the coals. Do not completely
close the air vents and the lid vent unless you are trying to cool down or ex nguish a ame.
• The cooking grid can be oiled before prehea ng to reduce s cking.
• Use a meat thermometer to ensure foods are adequately cooked.
