GRILLING GUIDE – Getting Started
First Time Use
Read your Assembly Manual and ensure the
grill is put together properly. Remove all
Point-of-Purchase advertising material from
all grill surfaces before first use. We
recommend operating your grill on its highest
setting for 15-20 minutes prior to your first
use. This aids in removing the oils used
during manufacturing.
Lava Rock / Briquettes This gas grill has
been designed, engineered, and tested to be
used with flame tamers or heat distribution
plates to provide more even heating, improve
the cleaning process, and reduce flare-ups.
The addition of after market lava rocks,
charcoal, or briquettes of any type will cause
poor combustion and increase the likelihood
of a grease fire, and is not recommended.
Using briquettes, lava rock, or charcoal in
this grill will void your warranty. For extra
smoke flavor, we recommend using a
smoker box with wood chips.
Pre-Heating Your Grill Just like
your home oven, your grill
should be pre-heated to provide
optimum performance. Pre-heat
the grill on high for 10-15
minutes – longer if weather
conditions require. Please refer
to the lighting instructions inside
the Product Guide if you have
questions about how to light
your grill. A matchlight chain
and hole is provided for your
convenience.

makes up the art of grilling. Before you
start grilling, organize your food according
to cooking technique and required
cooking time, and optimize the use of
your grilling area.
Indirect Cooking
Indirect cooking utilizes select burners to
circulate heat throughout the grill, without
direct contact between the meat and the
flame. The meat is placed over the
burner that is 'off'. This method is
generally used to slow cook large cuts of
meat and poultry. A pan can be placed
underneath the meat to catch grease and
food drippings, and helps minimize clean-

Rotisserie Cooking
Rotisserie cooking is best for 'round' meat,
such as large roasts, whole poultry, and
pork. It generally requires an accessory
motor and spit rod that allows the meat to
be turned at a constant speed. Rotisserie
cooking is best done in front of a special
rotisserie burner, or utilizing an indirect
cooking burner arrangement. A pan can be
placed underneath the meat to catch grease
and food drippings, and helps minimize
clean-up.
