4. Installation

4.1 Assemblage

Refer to the separate assembly guide included with your product for detailed step-by-step instructions. Ensure all components are securely fastened before proceeding to initial use.

4.2 Initial Burn-Off (Seasoning)

Before cooking food, it is crucial to perform an initial burn-off to season the grill and remove any manufacturing oils or residues. This process helps to create a protective layer and ensures optimal performance.

1. Load the GravityFed charcoal hopper with charcoal.
2. Light your fire starter in the ash bucket.
3. Set the grill temperature to 250°F (121°C) and run for 60 minutes.
4. Increase the temperature to 400°F (204°C) and run for an additional 30 minutes.
5. Shut down the grill and allow it to cool completely.
6. Repeat the process at 350°F (177°C) for 30 minutes.

During the burn-off, ensure the hopper lid and ash bucket door are open to allow for proper airflow and to prevent error codes. This also helps to establish a good smoke profile.

5.3 Adding Wood Chunks for Smoke Flavor

5.4 Procédure d'arrêt

To shut down the grill, slide the integrated shutdown lever to cut off oxygen to the charcoal. This will extinguish the fire safely and efficiently.
