Frequently Asked Questions - MB20042221 Masterbuilt

How do I season my Masterbuilt MB20042221 charcoal grill?

Before first use, wash the grates and interior with mild soap, rinse, and dry. Then coat the grates with cooking oil and run a hot fire (300°F) for 30 minutes to burn off residues.

What type of charcoal should I use?

Use lump charcoal or high-quality briquettes. Avoid lighter fluid; use a chimney starter for best results.

How do I control the temperature?

Adjust the bottom damper for airflow and the lid damper for exhaust. More air = higher heat, less air = lower heat.

How do I clean the grill after use?

After cooling, scrape the grates with a wire brush. Empty the ash pan regularly. For deeper cleaning, wash grates with soapy water and dry thoroughly.

Can I use the grill in rainy weather?

The grill is designed for outdoor use but should be protected from heavy rain. If rain is expected, keep the lid closed and store in a dry place when not in use.

How do I assemble the grill?

Follow the step-by-step assembly manual included. You'll need a Phillips screwdriver and wrench. Most parts are labeled for easy identification.

What is the maximum temperature?

The grill can reach over 600°F. For safety, do not leave the grill unattended at high heat.

How do I replace the cooking grates?

Lift the old grates out and place new ones onto the support ledges. Ensure they are porcelain-coated for durability. Available from Masterbuilt.

Is the grill rust-resistant?

The lid and firebox are porcelain-coated for rust resistance. Keep the grill covered when not in use to extend its life.

Where can I find replacement parts?

Visit the Masterbuilt website or contact customer support. Parts include grates, ash pan, thermometer, and handles.

ASSEMBLY IS DONE. LET'S HAVE SOME FUN!

PRE-SEASONING

Pre-seasoning will rid your grill of chemicals and oils left over by the manufacturing process, allowing them to burn off. PRE-SEASON GRILL PRIOR TO FIRST USE.

1. Fill the hopper with charcoal approximately 1/4–1/2 full.
2. Start grill following the START-UP instructions and set the temperature to 120^ C for 60 minutes.
3. Set the temperature to 205^ C for 30 minutes.
4. Shut down the grill following the SHUTDOWN instructions.
5. Allow grill to cool COMPLETELY.
6. Using a napkin or cloth, rub a light coat of cooking oil on smoke + sear grates, warming/smoking racks, charcoal grate and the inside of the grill lid and body.
7. Repeat steps 3–6 at 175°C

Frequent seasoning prevents rusting. If rusting occurs, clean with a steel brush, apply vegetable shortening and heat as indicated above.

START-UP

1. REMOVE heat intake and air intake slides. (Refer to assembly step 21.)

2. Open hopper lid and hopper ash door.

3. There is a safety switch at each of these doors that will prevent the fan from running when these doors are opened.

4. If charcoal remains from a previous cook, shake the charcoal grate to ensure all ash falls through to the ash tray.

5. Discard any ash from the ash tray.

6. Fill hopper with charcoal.

• Approximately 7.25 kg of charcoal briquettes.
• Approximately 4.5 kg of lump charcoal.
- Never use fast light charcoal or lighting fluid.
- If charcoal slips through charcoal grate into ash can, remove before starting.

1. Place fire starter in charcoal grate and light.

2. Use a food safe fire starter block or twisted paper towel/paper.

3. Place in charcoal grate on the fire starter support bars.

4. Use caution and wear protective gloves.
   • Light with match stick or lighter.

5. Turn on controller and set to desired temperature.

- Wait 1–2 minutes after lighting fire starter to ensure fire starter is fully lit.

1. Close hopper lid and ash door.

• This will activate the fan.

1. Wait for grill to reach desired set temperature.

• Approximately 13 minutes to reach 370^ C.
• Approximately 7 minutes to reach 105^ C.

Operating Instructions

RELOAD

If it is necessary to refill the hopper while cooking, follow the safe reloading instructions below.

• DO NOT add charcoal when grill is in excess of 121^ C.
- The fan will turn off if you open the hopper lid or ash door. This reduces the chimney effect created when these doors are opened.
- Gravity fed technology works by maintaining a completely sealed hopper. When the hopper lid is opened the flame will rise from the top of the hopper like a torch. Closing the hopper lid and ash door will return the flame to the normal operating level.
- The amount of charcoal in the hopper determines how quickly the flame will rise when the hopper lid is opened.

Adding charcoal:

1. Open hopper lid.

- Use caution and wear protective gloves. Hopper lid will be hot.

- Flame will rise from hopper after a short time depending on the charcoal level.

1. Pour charcoal into hopper.
2. Close hopper lid.

SHUTDOWN

1. Turn controller off.
2. Close grill lid, hopper lid and ash door.
3. Instal heat intake and air intake slides.

- The grill is designed to starve the charcoal of oxygen when shut down. This allows a percentage of unused charcoal to be saved for the next cook.

1. Failure to install slides when shutting down may cause damage to grill.

ADDING SMOKE/FLAVOR

Option 1: Place wood chunks or charcoal in the ash tray to add flavour before setting temperature. As the charcoal in the hopper burns, the hot embers will fall onto the wood/charcoal in the tray, causing it to burn at a slower rate and release more flavour into the grill.

* NOTE: Never add more than 225 g at a time. Additional chunks or charcoal should not be added until any previously added have ceased generating smoke.

Option 2: Mix wood chunks in the hopper with charcoal.

* NOTE: Never use more than 0.7 kg of wood chunks throughout the hopper.

Masterbuilt 2-Year Limited Guarantee/Warranty

WHAT IS NOT COVERED: These guarantees are based on normal and reasonable domestic use and good maintenance of the product. The warranty does not apply to additional or unforeseen damage or breakage, or for damage caused by: transport; drop; wrong assembly; incorrect support; attempts to support the product by means other than an approved Masterbuilt accessories or solid, non-flammable surface under the base; commercial use; amendments; changes; negligence; abuse; improper care / maintenance; hazards on the road; normal and reasonable wear; or natural disasters.

The warranty does not apply to scratches, dents, shards, hairline cracks, the appearance of small cosmetic cracks in the outer layer of glaze that do not affect the operation of the product.

Buying a Masterbuilt product or related items through unauthorised dealers, unauthorised retail channels and unauthorised third parties voids the warranty.

Note: When consumers buy something from an unauthorised source, even if it works as a lawful company and offers products in unopened boxes with blank warranty cards (but is an unauthorised reseller), they sell second-hand products according to the legal definition. If someone buys something from an unauthorised reseller or trader, or from an unauthorised online reseller, it almost always concerns products without a manufacturer's warranty, regardless of any statements or claims made by the seller. This is the standard policy of many brands and companies, not just Masterbuilt.

COVERAGE DATE: Warranty coverage commences when a product purchased from an authorised dealer by the original purchaser and owner is registered with masterbuilt.com as required by these warranty conditions. A valid proof of purchase from an authorised dealer is required to file a warranty claim.

COVERAGE ACCORDING TO THE GUARANTEE: Original parts of Masterbuilt which are found to contain material and construction faults and which are covered by a valid and registered warranty will be replaced or repaired free of charge at Masterbuilt's discretion, subject to the terms and conditions of this warranty.

WARRANTY CLAIM PROCEDURE: For warranty support, please contact the authorised dealer from whom you purchased the item.

For products purchased in countries outside Europe, warranty claims are handled by an authorised dealer or distributor in the country where they were purchased. Consult the INTERNATIONAL section of the masterbuilt.com website to find the recognized international Masterbuilt distributor in your specific region. Warranty claims must be submitted through an authorised dealer or distributor in the country where the item was originally purchased. Do not submit parts for a warranty claim before contacting an authorised dealer or distributor, as in some cases there is no need to return the guaranteed part.
