Lighting Instructions
There are a few methods to light your charcoal grill, depending on the materials you prefer to use.
Using a charcoal chimney is the Char-Griller
®
preferred method for speed and convenience but igniting
your lump charcoal or briquettes directly in the grill is a great way to get cooking as well.
NOTE:
• Do not use lighter uid, gasoline, kerosene, alcohol or other accelerant for lighting charcoal due to
ammability, risk of bodily injury and potential to leave a distasteful avor in your food.
• If necessary, use tongs to move coals for even heat.
• Always wear gloves when handling grill grates, charcoal grate, or adjusting coals.
Charcoal Chimney
1. Remove your grill grates and set them to side
2. Fill your charcoal chimney ¾ of the way full with
briquettes or lump charcoal
3. Set re starter on charcoal grate, light and then
place the charcoal chimney directly on top of the
re starter
4. Coals will re upward from bottom to top
5. After coals on top of chimney are ignited (usually
10-15 minutes) dump the coals over the charcoal
grate and replace your grill grates
Fire Starters
1. Remove your grill grates and set them to side
2. Pour approximately 3lbs (approx. 50-60 briquettes)
of charcoal directly on to your charcoal grate and
stack together in a pile
3. Insert re starter into the middle of the charcoal pile
so that it is slightly covered and light
4. After the charcoal has thoroughly ignited, typically
glowing red or gray in color, use tongs to spread
them out and replace your grill grates
C-3
Controlling Temperature
Controlling the temperature of your grill is all about controlling the air ow to the re. MORE AIR =
MORE HEAT. LESS AIR = LESS HEAT. By opening and closing the top and side dampers, you can
easily control the temperature of your grill. The amount of charcoal used when grilling can also greatly
impact your ability to control temperature. Dampers may need to be adjusted during the cook to account
for changes in weather like wind or to accommodate for more or less fuel. When rst learning how to
operate your grill, always use the same amount of charcoal to best learn your grill’s damper control.
SMOKE
150°-250°F
• Control airow as needed,
by adjusting dampers from
1/3-2/3 of the way open
• For best results, start with
up to 2 lbs. of charcoal
(30-40 Briquettes)
• Place coals on one half of
the charcoal grate
SEAR
450°-500°F
• For maximum airow,
both dampers should be
open all the way with air
owing freely
• For best results, start with
up to 3 lbs. of charcoal
(50-60 Briquettes)
• Place coals as desired
across the charcoal grate
• Start with dampers 1/4 or less
of the way open and adjust as
needed during cook
• For best results, start with
up to 2 lbs. of charcoal (30-40
Briquettes) and/or wood fuel
• Place coals on one half of the
charcoal grate

Seasoning Your Grill
Seasoning is an important rst step before you start cooking on your new grill. This process will help
protect the interior and exterior grill nish, reduce food sticking to the grates, reduce unnatural avors,
and help prevent the grates from rusting. Char-Griller
®
recommends using axseed oil for seasoning
your grill but most food grade oils (canola, grapeseed, vegetable, safower, etc) will work as well.
STEP 1
LIGHTLY COAT
WITH OIL
1. Char-Griller
®
grills come
pre-coated with vegetable
oil. If this is the rst time
seasoning your grill, move
on to Step 2
2. If re-seasoning your grill,
lightly coat ALL interior
surfaces (including grates
and inside of barrel) of your
grill with axseed or other
vegetable oil
STEP 2
HEAT UP GRILL
1. Following the instructions for
lighting your charcoal (page
C-2) and controlling the
temperature (page C-6),
bring your grill to
approximately 450°F
2. Once at temperature, allow
grill surfaces to season for
20 minutes
STEP 3
RE-APPLY OIL TO
GRATES 5X
1. After 20 minutes, open your
grill and carefully remove
your grill grates with a
grate lifter
2. Using a brush, re-coat both
sides of your grates with
axseed or other vegetable
oil and return to your grill
3. Close lid and allow surfaces
to season for 20 minutes
4. Repeat this process up to
ve times (Add more
charcoal to maintain
temperature as needed)
5. Your grill is now ready
for use
NOTE:
• You can lightly coat the exterior of the grill body (while warm) with vegetable oil. This will extend the
life of the nish, much like waxing a car.

Grilling Styles
Your Char-Griller
®
grill can be used to smoke, grill or sear your food. By using temperature zones,
charcoal and wood avor, you can customize your culinary experience as desired. The following
descriptions provide four of the most common ways you can cook with your Char-Griller
®
charcoal grill.
Sear
Quickly cook with direct heat at high
temperatures (450°-500°F).
1. Prepare up to 3 lbs (approximately 50-60
briquettes) of lit charcoal spread evenly
across charcoal grate.
2. Once the grill is at the desired temperature,
you may begin to cook by placing food
directly over the coals.
3. Food will cook quickly. Cook each side
3-4 minutes and then bring to desired
internal temperature.
4. NOTE: Wood chips, chunks or split logs may
be used in addition to charcoal to add smoke
avor as desired.
Grill
Cook with direct and indirect heat at medium
temperatures (300°-450°F). Utilize a two zone
set up to cook at different speeds
and temperatures.
1. Prepare up to 2 lbs (approximately 30-40
briquettes) of lit charcoal spread evenly
across HALF the charcoal grate creating 2
Cooking Zones.
2. Once the grill is at the desired temperature,
you may begin to cook. First place food over
direct heat, cooking each side as desired.
After initially cooking over direct heat, move
to the cool zone (see picture at right) to bring
your food to the desired internal temperature.
3. NOTE: Wood chips, chunks or split logs may be
used in addition to charcoal to add smoke avor
as desired.
GRILL (DIRECT HEAT) - 300°- 450°F
Up to 2 lbs. Charcoal (30-40 Briquettes)
5. NOTE: Always sear with the grill lid open to
prevent damage to exterior nish.
C-6
Smoke
Cook with indirect heat at low temperatures
(150°-250° F). Use wood chips, chunks, split
logs or pellets to add smoke avor
1. Prepare up to 2 lbs (approximately 30-40
briquettes) of charcoal spread evenly
across HALF the charcoal grate creating
two cooking zones
2. Add wood chips, chunks, or split logs as
desired to add smoke avor
3. Once the grill is to desired temperature,
you may begin to cook
4. Keep food over cool side of grill to cook with
indirect heat over the duration of the cook
Cool Zone
Water Pan
(optional)
5. NOTE: Opening the smoking chamber will
extend cooking time.
SMOKE (INDIRECT HEAT) - 150°- 250°F
Up to 2 lbs. Charcoal (30-40 Briquettes)
C-7
Care & Maintenance
In order to keep your grill in the best shape, it’s important to keep it clean and maintained. Continued
cleaning and care are key to ensuring a long life for your Char-Griller
®
grill. Have questions? Call, email
or chat online with Char-Griller

** ONLY EMPTY ASHES WHILE GRILL IS NOT IS USE AND COOL TO TOUCH **
IMPORTANT: Charcoal is porous and holds moisture. DO NOT leave charcoal in your grill while you are
not using it. Charcoal and ashes left inside the ash pan may reduce the life of your grill.
FINISH UP
• When you are nished
grilling, clean your grates
with the Char-Griller
®

Scrape and then lightly coat
your grates with axseed or
other vegetable oil
• Next close both dampers
and the hood allowing the
re to suffocate
• Wait until coals and ash

before attempting to clean
up or remove
CLEAN UP
• Wait until the re is
completely extinguished and
the grill is cool to the touch
before emptying the ashes
• Remove grates from grill with
grate lifter
• Remove ash pan from grill
• Give the ash pan a few rm
taps to loosen any ash that
may be stuck
• Dump the ashes in a metal
container and cover with
water to ensure there are
no lit coals, then you can
dispose of the ashes
COVER UP
• Extend the life of your grill by
using a Char-Griller

• Check chargriller.com for
your grill’s custom t cover
C-8
Control heat with amount and type of fuel, dual dampers, and adjustable re grate. Adjust re grate one
end at a time. Wood burns hotter than charcoal. More airow helps generate more heat.
Additional charcoal and/or smoking woods may be added while cook is in progress. Wear gloves and
apron when operating your grill.
Only use natural hardwoods intended for cooking. Appropriate selections can typically be found in
grocery stores and outdoor grilling retailers.
When utilizing a water pan, check the water level when cooking more than 4 hours or when you can’t
hear the water simmering. Add water by moving meat over and pouring water through cooking grates
into water pan.
To reduce are-ups, cook with hood in the down position.
When cooking with charcoal, leave the grill hood open during the initial start up and until coals ash over.
The grill hood must remain open anytime the temperature gauge is greater than 500°F.
Always put charcoal on top of the charcoal grate and not directly into the bottom of the grill.
Do not use self-starting charcoal as it will give food an unnatural avor.
Ashes left in grill too long between uses will absorb moisture and will cause rust. Be sure to empty ash
after grill has cooled. Uncoated steel and cast-iron will rust when not properly cared for.
On the EXTERIOR PAINT, remove rust with wire brush and touch up with a high heat paint, available at
most hardware/auto stores. Rustoleum
®
#241169 is the best color match.
Heat gauge may retain moisture, which will steam out during cooking. Gauge can be removed and
calibrated in oven.
For a more tightly sealed grill, ll unwanted holes with nuts and bolts (not included).
Attach a metal can to the grease cup holder or on bottom shelf under the hole in the grill to
catch drippings.
Smokestack and side dampers will be hot. Only touch using gloves or mitts.
Before you use your grill for the rst time you must season the cast iron cooking grates.
After each use, coat the interior grates and bare metal with vegetable oil while warm to reduce the
chance of rust. Proper and regular seasoning will protect against rust and extend the life of your grill and
cooking grates.
Grill will drip oil during the seasoning process and for several uses afterwards, this is normal.
Never exceed 500°F because this will damage the nish and contribute to rust.
Paint is not warranted and will require touch up.
This grill is not warranted against rust.
DO NOT use lighter uid, gasoline, kerosene, alcohol or other accelerant for lighting charcoal. Use of
any of these or similar products could cause an explosion possibly leading to severe bodily injury.
NOTE: Smoke may escape from areas other than the smokestack. This will not affect cooking
