Charcoal Cooking Guide

Charcoal is the traditional way of cooking that we are all familiar with. The glowing briquettes emit infrared energy to the food being cooked, with very little drying effect. Any juices or oils that escape from the food drip down onto the charcoal and vaporize into smoke giving the food its delicious grilled taste. The bottom line is that Napoleon's charcoal grill produces searing heat for juicier, tastier steaks, hamburgers and other meats. For cooking times and tips refer to the Charcoal Grilling Chart.

The following grilling chart is meant to be a guideline only. Cooking times are affected by such factors as altitude, outside temperature, wind, and desired doneness, which will be reflected in your cooking time. Use a meat thermometer to ensure foods are adequately cooked.

Charcoal Grilling Chart

Food Direct/Indirect Heating		Cooking Time Helpful Suggestions
Steak 1 in. (2.54cm) thick	Direct heat 6-8 min.- Medium When selecting meat for grilling, ask for marbled fat distribution. The fat acts as a natural tenderizer while cooking and keeps it moist and juicy.
Hamburger 1/2 in (1.27cm) thick	Direct heat 6-8 min.- Medium Preparing hamburgers to order is made easier by varying the thickness of your patties. To add an exotic taste to your meat, try adding hickory-flavored woodchips to the charcoal.
Chicken pieces Direct heat approx 2 min. per side. Indirect heat for the remaining 18-20 min.		20-25 min. The joint connecting the thigh and the leg from the skinless side should be sliced 3/4 of the way though for the meat to lay flatter on the grill. This helps it to cook faster and more evenly. To add a trademark taste to your cooking, try adding mesquite-flavored woodchips to the charcoal.
Pork chops Direct heat 10-15 min. Trim off the excess fat before
Spare ribs Direct heat for 5 min. Indirect heat to finish		1.5-2 hrs. turning often	Choose ribs that are lean and meaty. Grill until meat easily pulls away from the bone.
Lamb chops Direct heat 25-30 min. Trim off the excess fat before
Hot dogs Direct heat 4-6 min. Select the larger size wieners. Slit the skin lengthwise before grilling.

Cooking Instructions

Initial Lighting: When lit for the first time, the grill emits a slight odor. This is a normal temporary condition caused by the "burn-in" of internal paints and lubricants used in the manufacturing process and does not occur again. Simply burn the grill on high for approximately 30 minutes with the lid and base vents fully open.

Grill Use: We recommend preheating the grill by operating it with the lid closed for approximately 20 minutes. The coals are ready when they have a light coating of grey ash. Food cooked for short periods of time (fish, vegetables) can be grilled with the lid open. Cooking with the lid closed ensures higher, more even temperatures that will reduce cooking time and cook the food more evenly. When cooking very lean meat, such as chicken breast or lean pork, the grids can be oiled before preheating to reduce sticking. Cooking meat with a high degree of fat content may create flare-ups. Either trim the fat or reduce temperatures to inhibit this. Should a flare-up occur, move food away from flames; reduce the heat (reduce vent opening). Leave the lid open.

As a general rule, plan on using about 50 briquettes to cook 2 lb. (1kg) of meat. If cooking for more than 30 to 40 minutes, additional briquettes must be added to the fire. When the weather is cold or windy, you will need more briquettes to reach ideal cooking temperatures.

Adding Charcoal During Cooking: Use caution when adding charcoal to the grill. Flames may flare up when coals come in contact with fresh air. Stand back a safe distance and use a long-handled heat-resistant cooking tongs to add additional charcoal briquettes. There are flaps on either side of the cooking grid that provide access to the charcoal grate.

WARNING! Never add charcoal starter fluid to hot or warm coals. Once charcoal is ignited no more fluid is required.

Operating The Vents: Lid vents on a covered grill are usually left open to allow air into the grill. Air increases the burning temperature of the coals. You can regulate the grill's temperature by moving the vent slide to the right or left. Closing the vents either partially or completely will help to cool down the coals. Do not completely close the air vents and the lid vent unless you are trying to cool down or extinguish a flame.

After Use Safety

WARNING! To protect yourself and your property from damage, carefully follow these safety precautions.

• Close the grill lid and all vents to extinguish fire.
  • Always allow the grill to cool completely before handling.
• Never leave coals and ashes in grill unattended. Make sure coals and ashes are completely extinguished before removing.
• Use a metal spatula or scoop to remove remaining coals and ashes from grill. Place them in a non-combustible metal container and completely saturate with water. Leave in container an additional 24 hours before disposing.

Maintenance / Cleaning Instructions

It is recommended that the ashtray/drippan be emptied out after each use.

WARNING! Ensure the grill is cool and all coals are completely extinguished prior to removing any part from your grill.

WARNING! Always wear protective gloves and safety glasses when cleaning your grill.

WARNING! Do not use pressure washer to clean any part of the grill.

WARNING! To avoid the possibility of burns, maintenance should be done only when the grill is cool. Avoid unprotected contact with hot surfaces. Clean grill in an area where cleaning solutions will not harm decks, lawns, or patios. Do not use oven cleaner to clean any part of this grill. Do not use a self-cleaning oven to clean cooking grids or any other parts of the grill. Barbecue sauce and salt can be corrosive and will cause rapid deterioration of the grill components unless cleaned regularly.

Grids And Warming Rack: The grids and warming rack are best cleaned with a brass wire brush during the pre-heating period. Steel wool can be used for stubborn stains.

Cleaning Inside The Grill: Remove the cooking grids. Use a brass wire brush to clean loose debris from the bowl and the insides of the lid. Scrape the inside of the bowl with a putty knife or scraper, and use a wire brush to remove ash. Sweep all debris from inside the grill into the removable ash/drip pan. If desired you can wash the inside of the grill with a mild detergent and water. Rinse well with clear water and wipe dry.

WARNING! Accumulated grease is a fire hazard. Clean the drip pan after each use to avoid grease buildup.

Ash/Drip Pan: Ashes, grease and excess drippings pass through to the ash/drip pan, located beneath the charcoal grill, and accumulate. To clean, slide the pan free of the grill. Never line the pan with aluminum foil, sand or any other material as this could prevent the grease from flowing properly. The pan should be scraped out with a putty knife or scraper, and all the debris brushed into a non-combustible metal container. Wash the ash/drip pan with a mild detergent and water. Rinse well with clear water and wipe dry.

Cleaning The Outer Grill Surface: Do not use abrasive cleaners or steel wool on any painted, porcelain or stainless steel parts of your Napoleon Grill. Doing so will scratch the finish. Exterior grill surfaces should be cleaned with warm soapy water while the metal is still warm to the touch. To clean stainless surfaces, use a stainless steel or a non-abrasive cleaner. Always wipe in the direction of the grain. Over time, stainless steel parts discolor when heated, usually to a golden or brown hue. This discoloration is normal and does not affect the performance of the grill. Porcelain enamel components must be handled with additional care. The baked-on enamel finish is glass-like, and will chip if struck. Touch-up enamel is available from your Napoleon Grill dealer.

Troubleshooting

Problem Possible Causes Solution
Low heat / Low flame.	Improper preheating.	Allow charcoal to burn until covered with a light grey ash. (usually 20-25min).
	Not enough airflow.	Open Vents.
	Low charcoal.	Add more charcoal to the charcoal tray.
	Lid being opened to frequently.	Allow food to cook with the lid closed. Every time the lid is removed, the temperature drops. This leads to lower temperatures and longer cooking times.
Excessive flare-ups/uneven heat.	Improper preheating.	Preheat grill with lid closed for 20 - 25 mins and spread coals around evenly.
	Excessive grease and ash build up in ash/drip pan.	Clean ash/drip pan regularly. Do not line pan with aluminum foil. Refer to cleaning instructions.
“Paint” appears to be peeling inside lid or hood.	Grease build up on inside surfaces.	This is not a defect. The finish on the lid is porcelain, and will not peel. The peeling is caused by hardened grease, which dries into paint-like shards that will flake off. Regular cleaning will prevent this. See cleaning instructions.

CAUTION! During unpacking and assembly we recommended you wear work gloves and safety glasses for your protection. Although we make every effort to make the assembly process as problem free and safe as possible, it is characteristic of fabricated steel parts that the edges and corners might be sharp and could cause cuts if handled incorrectly.

Getting Started

1. Remove all cart panels, hardware, and grill head from carton. Raise lid and remove any components packed inside. Use the parts list to ensure all necessary parts are included.
2. Do not destroy packaging until the grill has been fully assembled and operates to your satisfaction.
3. Assemble the grill where it is to be used, lay down cardboard or a towel to protect parts from being lost or damaged while assembling.
4. Most stainless steel parts are supplied with a protective plastic coating that must be removed prior to using grill.
5. Follow all instructions in the order that they are laid out in this manual.
6. Two people are required to lift the grill head onto the assembled cart.

If you have any questions about assembly or grill operation, or if there are damaged or missing parts please call our Customer Care Department at 1-866-820-8686 between 9 AM and 5 PM (Eastern Standard Time).
