FAQs
What kind of charcoal is best?
You can use briquettes or lump charcoal. Lump charcoal tends to burn hotter and cleaner.
How do I clean the cooking grates?
Clean the grates after each use while they are still hot with a grill brush. This will remove food residue and prevent rust.
How long does the grill take to assemble?
Assembly time can vary but typically takes 1-2 hours. Having a second person to help can speed up the process.
Can I use the grill in the rain?
While the grill is durable, it's best to avoid using it in heavy rain. Protect it with a cover or store it in a sheltered area when not in use.
What is the warranty on the grill?
Check the product documentation or contact the manufacturer for warranty details. Warranties typically cover defects in materials and workmanship.
How do I control the temperature for smoking?
Use the dampers to control airflow. Adjust the bottom damper to regulate the amount of air entering the grill, and the top damper to release smoke and heat.
What is the Side Fire Box, and why would I need it?
The Side Fire Box (sold separately) allows you to use the grill as an offset smoker. It provides a separate area for the fire, which allows for indirect cooking and helps impart a smoky flavor to your food.
Troubleshooting
Grill not heating up sufficiently.
Ensure the charcoal is arranged correctly and that the dampers are open sufficiently. Check for any air leaks.
Uneven cooking.
Adjust the charcoal placement and use the dampers to control the heat distribution. Rotate food as needed.

Practice using the dampers to regulate airflow. Use a thermometer to monitor the internal temperature and adjust the dampers accordingly.
