OPERATING THE GRILL:

Never use Charcoal or Lighter Fluid inside the Gas section of the grill. Read and follow all

warnings and instructions contained in the preceding sections of this manual.

BREAKING IN YOUR GRILL:

• In manufacturing and preserving the components of your grill, oil residue may be present on the

burner and cooking surfaces of your grill.

• Before cooking on your grill for the first time you should preheat it for 15 minutes on "HIGH" to burn

off these residual oils.

PREHEATING THE GRILL:

• Prior to use, it is recommended that you preheat your grill. This ensures that the grilling surfaces are

at the desired temperatures to sear the food sugars when cooking. After lighting your grill, set the

main burner control knobs to the "HIGH" position for 10 to 15 minutes. Close the cover during the

preheat period.

CONTROLLING FLARE-UPS:

• Flare-ups are a part of cooking meats on a grill. This adds to the unique flavor of cooking on a gas

grill. Excessive flare-ups can over-cook your food and cause a dangerous situation for you and your

grill. Excessive flare-ups result from the build-up of grease in the bottom of your grill. If this should

occur, DO NOT pour water onto the flames. This can cause the grease to splatter and could result in

serious burns or bodily harm. If grease fire occurs close the lid and turn off the main burners until the

grease burns out. Use caution when opening the lid as sudden flare-ups may occur.

WARNING

• DO NOT leave your grill unattended while in use.

• DO NOT move grill when in use. Lock wheels in place to stabilize grill.

• DO NOT use water to extinguish flare-ups.

• Have fire extinguisher readily accessible suitable for use with gas appliances.

WARNING

13

TO MINIMIZE FLARE-UPS:

• Trim excess fat from meats prior to cooking.

• Cook meats with high fat contents (chicken or pork) on Low settings or indirectly.

• Ensure that your grill is on level ground and the grease is allowed to evacuate the grill through the

drain hole in the bottom and into grease cup.

INDIRECT COOKING:

• Indirect cooking is the process of cooking your food without the heat source being directly under your

food. You can sear meats over a high flame on one side of the grill while slow cooking a roast on the

other (unlit) side of the grill.

GRILL COOKING TIPS

CLEANLINESS

• Always wash hands thoroughly with soap and hot water prior to handling food and after handling raw

meat, uncooked poultry or seafood.

• When using a platter to carry raw meat, uncooked poultry or seafood to the grill, make sure to wash the

platter thoroughly with soap and hot water before placing cooked foods back on the platter or use

different platters for raw and cooked foods.

• Never use the same utensils when handling raw meat, uncooked poultry or seafood unless you wash the

utensils thoroughly with soap and hot water.

• Never re-use marinade from raw meat or uncooked poultry on foods that have been cooked and are

ready to be served.

CHARCOAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

PLACE THE GRILL OUTDOORS ON A HARD, LEVEL, NON-COMBUSTIBLE SURFACE

AWAY FROM ROOF OVERHANG OR ANY COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL. NEVER USE ON WOODEN OR

OTHER SURFACES THAT COULD BURN. PLACE THE GRILL AWAY FROM OPEN WINDOWS OR DOORS

TO PREVENT SMOKE FROM ENTERING YOUR HOUSE. IN WINDY WEATHER, PLACE THE GRILL IN AN

OUTDOOR AREA THAT IS PROTECTED FROM THE WIND.

READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY

BEFORE OPERATING YOUR GRILL.

Prior to your first use of the Brinkmann Professional Dual Zone Charcoal/Gas Grill, follow the instructions

below carefully to preheat your grill. Curing your grill will rid the grill of paint odor that can impart unnatural

flavors to the first meal prepared on your Brinkmann Professional Dual Zone Charcoal/Gas Grill.

IMPORTANT: To protect your grill from excessive rust, the unit must be properly covered at all times

when not in use. A cover for your Professional Dual Zone Charcoal/Gas Grill may be

ordered directly from Brinkmann by calling 800-527-0717 (U.S. only).

1. Lightly coat all interior surfaces of the charcoal chamber and firebox including cooking grills with

vegetable oil or vegetable oil spray. Do not coat charcoal grate or charcoal tray.

2. Follow the instructions below carefully to build a fire in the cooking chamber. You may use charcoal

and/or wood as fuel in the charcoal section of the Professional Dual Zone Charcoal/Gas Grill (see

“Adding Charcoal/Wood During Cooking” section of this manual).

Note: We recommend using charcoal that has been pre-treated with lighter fluid or a charcoal chimney

starter.

WARNING: Do not store lighter fluid or other flammable liquids, material or charcoal that has been

pre-treated with lighter fluid in or around the grill.

If using a Charcoal Chimney Starter, follow all manufacturer’s warnings and instructions regarding the use

of their product. Start with 3 to 4 pounds (1.4 to 1.8 kgs.) of charcoal in the chimney starter for the cooking

chamber. This should be enough charcoal to cook with, once the curing process has been completed.

3. With grill lid open, raise charcoal grate to highest level, stand back and carefully light

charcoal and allow to burn until covered with a light ash (approximately 20 minutes). When

charcoal is burning strong, carefully place hot coals in center of charcoal grate.

WARNING: DO NOT use grill without charcoal ash tray in place. DO NOT attempt to remove charcoal

ash tray while tray contains hot coals.

Note: To extend the life of your grill, make sure that hot coals and wood do not touch the walls of grill.

IMPORTANT: To protect your grill from excessive rust, the unit must be properly covered at all times

when not in use.

IF USING CHARCOAL CHIMNEY STARTER, PROCEED TO STEP 7

If using lighter fluid, follow all manufacturer’s warnings and instructions regarding the use of their product.

Start with 3 to 4 pounds (1.4 to 1.8 kgs.) of charcoal in the cooking chamber. This should be enough

charcoal to cook with once the curing process has been completed.

CURING YOUR GRILL:

4. Saturate charcoal with lighting fluid. With lids open, wait 2 to 3 minutes to allow lighting fluid to soak

into charcoal. Store charcoal lighting fluid safely away from the grill.

5. With grill lid open, stand back and carefully light charcoal and allow to burn until covered with a light

ash (approximately 20 minutes). When charcoal is burning strong, carefully place hot coals in center of

charcoal grates.

WARNING: Charcoal lighting fluid must be allowed to completely burn off prior to closing grill lid

(approximately 20 minutes). Failure to do this could trap fumes from charcoal lighting fluid

in grill and may result in a flash-fire or explosion when lid is opened.

Note: To extend the life of your grill, make sure that hot coals and wood do not touch the walls of grill.

IF USING CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID, PROCEED TO STEP 7

If using pre-treated charcoal, follow all manufacturer’s warnings and instructions regarding the use of their

product. Start with 3 to 4 pounds (1.4 to 1.8 kgs.) of charcoal in the cooking chamber.

6. With grill lid open, stand back and carefully light charcoal and allow to burn until covered with a light

ash (approximately 20 minutes). When charcoal is burning strong, carefully place hot coals in center of

charcoal grate.

7. With coals burning strong, close the lid and door. Allow coals to burn for 20 - 30 minutes. When cooking,

follow instructions in Smoking or Grilling/Searing sections below.

8. Increase the temperature. This can be achieved by opening the air vent dampers and adding more

charcoal and/or wood (see “Adding Charcoal/Wood During Cooking” section of this manual).

Maintain this temperature for 1 hour then allow unit to cool completely.

Note: To extend the life of your grill, make sure that hot coals and wood do not touch the walls of grill.

Note: It is important that the exterior of the smoker is not scraped or rubbed during the curing process.

1. Follow the instructions above to build a fire.

2. With coals burning well, carefully add 1/2 lb. of wood chunks using long cooking tongs (see “Flavoring

Wood” and “Adding Charcoal/Wood During Cooking” section of this manual.)

3. Place cooking grills on grill support lips in cooking chamber.

WARNING: Wear protective gloves or oven mitts when adjusting ash tray or cooking height.

4. Place food in cooking chamber and close lids.

5. The ideal smoking temperature is between 175°F and 250°F (80°C and 120°C). For large cuts of meat,

allow approximately one hour of cooking time per pound of meat. Always use a meat thermometer to

ensure food is fully cooked before removing from grill.

6. Allow grill to cool, then follow instructions in the “After-Use Safety” and “Proper Care & Maintenance”

section of this manual.

SMOKING

Additional charcoal and/or wood may be required to maintain or increase cooking temperature.

1. Stand back and carefully open grill or firebox lids. Use caution since flames can flare-up when fresh air

suddenly comes in contact with fire.

2. Wearing oven mitts/gloves, remove food and cooking grates to access charcoal grate.

WARNING: Never add charcoal lighting fluid to hot or even warm coals as flashback may occur causing

severe burns.

3. When charcoal is burning strong again, wear oven mitts/gloves and carefully return charcoal grate to

desired cooking level. Replace food and cooking grates. Ensure that no ashes, coals or embers have

fallen to the ground as a fire may start. As a precaution, completely wet beneath and around grill with

water to extinguish any fallen ashes, coals or embers.

4. Close the grill. Allow food to continue cooking.

ADDING CHARCOAL/WOOD DURING COOKING

To obtain your favorite smoke flavor, experiment by using chunks, sticks or chips of flavor producing wood

such as hickory, pecan, apple, cherry, or mesquite. Most fruit or nut tree wood may be used for smoke

flavoring. Do not use resinous wood such as pine as it will produce an unpleasant taste.

Wood chunks or sticks 3" to 4" (7.5 to 10 cm) long and 1" to 2" (2.5 to 5 cm) thick work best. Unless the

wood is still green, soak the wood in water for 30 minutes or wrap each piece in foil and tear several small

holes in the foil to produce more smoke and prevent the wood from burning too quickly. A lot of wood is

not required to obtain a good smoke flavor. A recommended amount for the Brinkmann Professional Dual

Zone Charcoal/Gas Grill is 5 to 6 wood chunks or sticks. Experiment by using more wood for stronger

smoke flavor or less wood for milder smoke flavor.

Additional flavoring wood should not have to be added during the cooking process. However, it may be

necessary when cooking very large pieces of food. Follow instructions and cautions in the “Adding

Charcoal/Wood During Cooking” section of this manual to avoid injury while adding wood.

To increase heat, more wood and/or charcoal may be needed. Follow instructions in “Adding Charcoal/Wood

During Cooking” section of this manual.To maintain the temperature, more wood and/or charcoal may need

to be added during the cooking cycle.

Note: Dry wood burns hotter than charcoal, so you may want to increase the ratio of wood to charcoal to

increase the cooking temperature. Hardwood such as oak, hickory, mesquite, fruit and nut wood

are an excellent fuel because of their burning rate. When using wood as fuel, make sure the wood is

seasoned and dry. DO NOT use resinous wood such as pine as it will produce an unpleasant taste.

FLAVORING WOOD

TO INCREASE HEAT

GRILLING/SEARING

1. Follow the instructions above to build a fire in the grill.

2. Place cooking grills on grill support lips. Position charcoal grate to desired cooking level. Position it low

for slow grilling, in the middle for medium grilling or up high for searing meats.

WARNING: Always wear oven mitts/gloves when adjusting cooking levels to protect your

hands from burns.

3. Place food on cooking grills and close grill lid. Always use a meat thermometer to ensure food is fully

cooked before removing from grill.

4. Allow grill to cool, then follow instructions in the “After-Use Safety” and “Proper Care & Maintenance”

section of this manual.
