Lighting
1. Follow the instructions below to build a re. Use only
high-quality charcoal – either hardwood lump or bri-
quettes.
Broilmaster Premium Natural Hardwood Lump Charcoal
burns longer and hotter – with much better avor.
2. Make sure the ash pan is clean to start. Open lower door
and slide out ash pan. Dispose of ashes in an approved
metal container as described in the safety section.
Do not remove hot coals. Replace the ash pan, close
and latch door.
IMPORTANT
Initial Use: The rst time you use your Broilmaster Charcoal
Grill, keep the cooking temperature between 350 to 400
degrees maximum. This will season the paint and set gasket
glues properly. Let burn for at least 60 minutes at 350 to 400
degrees to burn off any manufacturing oils and paints before
placing food on the grill.
Never use grill without ash pan in place.
3. Filling Charcoal Tray
• Full Firebox Tray: Pile the charcoal in a pyramid shape
on the charcoal tray with enough charcoal so when
spread out it is not higher than tray sides but covers
the entire charcoal tray (about 5 to 7 pounds). Never
let charcoal burn against the casting sides of the
grill, it could damage the grill casting. Use this for
larger amounts of food cooking over the entire area,
hotter cooking temperatures, or longer cooking times.
• Half Firebox Tray: Pile the charcoal on one side of the
charcoal tray with enough charcoal so to cover half of
the charcoal tray but not higher than tray sides when
spread out (about 3 to 4 pounds). Use this for smaller
amounts of food, when cooking at milder tempera-
tures or indirect cooking. Use the Broilmaster rebox
divider (sold separately) to cook on one small section
of your grill.
(Divider Accessory Shown)
Place the divider between the grates and in the holding
tabs on the frame. This will separate the rebox in half for
better control. Divider must be removed to slide out ash tray.
4. Fully open both lower air intake vents.
5. With the lid open and the charcoal piled in tray, use natu-
ral charcoal starter cubes, a charcoal chimney start or an
electric charcoal starter. Always follow the manufacturer’s
warnings and instructions. Do not lean over grill when
lighting or cooking.
Do not use lighter uid (it will void the warranty).
OPERATION - CHARCOAL GRILLS
6. After coals have been lit for about seven to ten minutes,
or when several coals are burning, close the lid and, with
the dial open fully, swing open the smoke vent on top full
for maximum air ow. Let burn with lid closed for about ve
minutes or until most coals are burning.
7. Carefully open the lid and spread coal as desired with met-
al rod or optional ash tool.
WARNING
Wear heat resistant gloves when handling hot grill. Hot
grill could cause severe burns.
Replace the cooking grids at the desired height and close
the lid.
8. When the heat indicator reaches the desired temperature,
reduce the air ow by adjusting the top smoke vent and the
lower air intake vents. Adjust air vents during cooking to
control and ne tune temperatures.
Adding Charcoal or Wood
Flavoring Chunks
1. Add charcoal to maintain or to increase cooking tempera-
tures. Or add wood avoring chunks for a special wood
avor.
2. With heat resistant gloves or oven mitts carefully open the
reload door. Use caution since ames may are up when
air comes in contact with re. Always slightly crack one or
two inches a few times before fully opening to introduce
fresh air slowly.
3. With a set of long-handled cooking tongs, add charcoal or
wood chunks through the reload door opening. When n-
ished, close and latch the reload door. Always keep doors
closed while in use. Open only when needing to re-
load.
Shutting the Grill Down
When nished cooking, close the lid and close both top and
bottom vents completely. The re will self extinguish. Never
use water to extinguish the coals. It may take several hours for
the grill to cool down due to the thick heavy casting holding in
the heat.
Restarting the Grill
1. When restarting the grill, most of the charcoal that was
started with will still be in the charcoal tray if the vents were
closed after previous use. The charcoal can be reused.
With the ash tool, stir the charcoal so that any ash build-
up falls through into the ash pan. Add more charcoal as
necessary to ll the tray as described in the lighting instruc-
tions.
2. Empty the ash pan into an approved metal container and
replace.
