Common Issues and Troubleshooting
-
Charcoal requires proper airflow to maintain temperature, and blocked vents can reduce cooking efficiency. Regularly remove accumulated ashes to prevent blockages
-
Using the barbecue without all parts properly assembled can be dangerous. Double-check the assembly to ensure all components are securely in place
-
Excessive flare-ups can result from too much fat or oil dripping onto the charcoal. Keep the lid on to limit oxygen and control flare-ups. Shift the food to indirect heat if necessary
-
During use, grease and smoke can oxidize and form carbon deposits on the lid's interior. Regular cleaning with a grill brush is recommended to manage these deposits
-
Exposure to harsh environments, including acid rain or saltwater, can cause surface rust. Regular cleaning with warm soapy water followed by thorough drying helps prevent rust

Energy Efficiency Tips
- Keep the lid closed as much as possible to maintain heat and reduce cooking time, which helps conserve fuel.
- Preheat the grill with the lid closed for about 10 to 15 minutes to reach the desired cooking temperature with less energy.
- Avoid using lighter fluid, as it can waste energy by causing extra flare-ups. Instead, use chimney starters or lighter cubes.
- Regularly remove ashes from the bottom of the grill to ensure proper airflow, which allows for more efficient burning of charcoal.
- Cook using indirect heat for thicker cuts of meat or longer cooking times, as this method efficiently uses charcoal while ensuring even cooking.
- Do not use indoors. This grill is designed for outdoor use in a well-ventilated area and must never be used as a heater indoors to avoid toxic fume accumulation.
- Do not use gasoline, alcohol, or other highly volatile fluids to ignite charcoal, and never add lighter fluid to hot or warm charcoal.
- Always ensure the grill is on a secure, level surface and is at least five feet from any combustible material, such as wood decks and porches.
- Keep children and pets away from the grill, as it becomes extremely hot during operation, and never move it while in use.
- Never dump hot charcoal where it might be stepped on or be a fire hazard, and ensure ashes and charcoal are fully extinguished before disposal and storage.
