Frequently Asked Questions - E2197 Char-Griller

What type of fuel to use with the Char-Griller E2197 barbecue?

Use only charcoal (briquettes or lump). Do not exceed 1.4 kg (3 lb) in the main firebox and 1 kg (2 lb) in the optional side firebox.

How to assemble the E2197 barbecue?

Follow the provided instructions. Assembly is easier with two people and takes about 1 hour. Required tools: Phillips screwdriver or 7/16" socket wrench. Wear gloves and work on a flat surface.

How to safely light the charcoal?

Use a chimney starter or fire starter. Never use gasoline, alcohol, or other accelerants. Keep the lid open during lighting and close only after flames have died down.

How to regulate cooking temperature?

Temperature is controlled via the air vents: more air = more heat, less air = less heat. You can also adjust the amount of charcoal and the height of the charcoal grate.

Can I use the barbecue indoors or in a garage?

No, it is very dangerous. This barbecue is designed for outdoor use only. Combustion produces carbon monoxide, an odorless and deadly gas.

Operating Instructions

SETTING UP

Set grill up on solid, flat surface with adequate wind shelter.

Do not move grill while hot, and do not leave unattended during operation.

This appliance is designed for use outdoors, away from any flammable materials. It is important that there are no overhead obstructions and that there is a minimum distance of 10 feet (3 m) from the side or rear of the appliance. It is important that the ventilation openings of the appliance are not obstructed. The barbecue must be used on a level, stable surface. The appliance should be protected from direct drafts and positioned or protected against direct penetration by any trickling water (e.g. rain).

PRE-SEASONING

IMPORTANT! 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. Lightly coat ALL INTERIOR SURFACES (including grates, and inside of barrel) with cooking oil.

2. Start grill by following the LIGHTING instructions. Build a medium sized fire.

3. Do not use more than 3 LBS / 1.4 KGS of charcoal.
   • Always put charcoal on charcoal tray.

4. Never put charcoal directly into the bottom of the grill.

5. After coals ash over, spread out coals, replace cooking grates, close lid and heat to 250^ F ( 121^ C) for two hours.

6. USE CAUTION! Grates will be extremely HOT! Remove cooking grates from the grill with oven mitts, allow to cool, then re-coat grates and return to grill at approximately 200^ F ( 93^ C) for two hours.
7. You can lightly coat the exterior of the grill body (while warm) with cooking oil. This will extend the life of the grill body.
8. Frequent seasoning prevents rusting. If rusting occurs, clean with a steel brush, apply cooking oil or vegetable shortening and heat as indicated above.

NOTE: GRILL WILL DRIP OIL DURING THIS PROCESS AND FOR SEVERAL USES AFTERWARDS. THIS IS NORMAL.

NOTE: NEVER EXCEED A COOKING TEMPERATURE OF 400°F (204°C) (ITEM SPECIFIC) BECAUSE THIS WILL DAMAGE THE FINISH AND CONTRIBUTE TO RUST. PAINT IS NOT WARRANTED AND WILL REQUIRE TOUCH-UP. THIS UNIT IS NOT WARRANTED AGAINST RUST.

LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS

There are a few different methods that can be used to light the charcoal in your charcoal grill depending on personal preference. Below the charcoal chimney and fire starter methods are described.

DO NOT EXCEED A TOTAL OF 3 LBS / 1.4 KGS OF CHARCOAL FOR MAIN FIREBOX

DO NOT EXCEED A TOTAL OF 2 LBS / 1 KGS OF CHARCOAL IN SIDE FIREBOX

CHARCOAL CHIMNEY

1. Remove the grill grates and set them to the side.
2. Fill the charcoal chimney 34 of the way full with briquettes or lump charcoal
3. Set a fire starter on charcoal grate, light and then place the charcoal chimney directly on top of the fire starter. This step is done INSIDE the grill.
4. Coals will fire upward from bottom to top.

NOTE:

• Always follow the charcoal manufacturer's instructions and warnings.
• Do not use lighter fluid, gasoline, kerosene, alcohol or other accelerant for lighting charcoal.
• If necessary, USE EXTREME CAUTION and use tongs or a long handled tool to move coals.
  • Always wear heat resistant gloves when handling grill grates, charcoal grate, or adjusting coals.

MAINTAINING TEMPERATURE

In order to control the temperature of your grill, you need to control the amount of air flow to the fire. By opening and closing the top and side dampers, you can adjust the temperature of your grill.

• MORE AIR = MORE HEAT
• LESS AIR = LESS HEAT

The amount of charcoal used when grilling can also greatly impact your ability to control temperature. The more charcoal that ignites, the hotter the grill can be.

• MORE CHARCOAL = MORE HEAT
• LESS CHARCOAL = LESS HEAT

Cooking Styles

OVERVIEW

Your charcoal grill can be used to smoke, grill or sear your food with direct or indirect heat.

By creating temperature zones and adjusting the charcoal placement, you can customize your culinary experience as desired. We have listed a few different cooking styles that you can utilize.

OFFSET SMOKING

NOTE: a side firebox is required for this style of cooking

1. Cook with indirect heat from the side fire box at low temperatures (150°-250°F) (65°-121°C).
2. Use split wood logs, chips, chunks, or pellets to add smoke flavor.
3. Prepare the charcoal or fuel in the side fire box. Indirect heat will flow from the side firebox into the main barrel.
4. No charcoal or fuel will be added to the main cook chamber.
5. Food placed closer to the side fire box will cook faster than food placed on the opposite side of the grill

NOTE: Side fire box sold separately

TRADITIONAL SMOKE

NOTE: charcoal placement is key for this method.

1. Cook with indirect heat at low temperatures ( 150^-250^ ) ( 65^-121^ ).
2. Use split wood logs, chips, chunks, or pellets to add smoke flavor.
3. Prepare the charcoal or fuel in the main cook chamber. Only utilize 1/2 or 1/3 of the charcoal grate.
4. Never put charcoal directly into the bottom of the grill.
5. Create 2 or 3 "zones" with the placement of the fuel.
6. Food should be placed in the cool zone / the area not directly above the fuel.
7. Hang the charcoal grate in its lowest setting / farthest from the cooking grates.

Cooking Styles

GRILLING (direct or indirect heat)

Note: Placement of the food above or next to the charcoal zone will create the direct or indirect heat

1. Cook with direct or indirect heat at medium to high temperatures (300°F +) (149°C +).
2. Use split wood logs, chips, chunks, or pellets to add smoke flavor.
3. Prepare the charcoal or fuel in the main cook chamber. Only utilize 1/2 of the charcoal grate.

4. Never put charcoal directly into the bottom of the grill.

5. Create 2 "zones" with the placement of the fuel.

6. Food can be placed in the "indirect" zone for lower temperatures. The indirect zone is the area not directly above the fuel.

7. Food can be placed in the "direct" zone for higher temperatures. The direct zone is the area directly above the fuel.

8. Hang the charcoal grate in the medium setting from the cooking grates.

SEAR (direct heat)

Note: This style is best for short cooks. Use caution, cooking at high temperatures like this can dry out the food.

1. Quickly cook with direct heat at high temperatures (400°F) (204°C).
2. Smoke flavor will not be added at this temperature. The wood will burn too hot to infuse flavor.
3. Prepare the charcoal or fuel in the main cook chamber.
4. Never put charcoal directly into the bottom of the grill.
5. Food can be is in the "direct" zone for searing temperatures. The direct zone is the area directly above the fuel.
6. Hang the charcoal grate in the highest setting / closest to the cooking grates.
7. Food will cook very quickly at this temperature. Use caution.
8. Always cook with the lid open when using this method to prevent damage to the exterior of the grill.

Operating Instructions

RELOAD

If planning to cook for more that 30 to 40 minutes, additional charcoal should be added. Add 10 to 20 briquettes to the outer edge of the fire immediately after initial briquettes have been spread on grate. Once these briquettes become 80% ashed over, add them to the center of the fire as needed to maintain constant cooking temperature. Read all instructions and warnings on the charcoal bag.

SHUT DOWN

When finished cooking, clean your cooking grates with a cooking grate scraper.

Allow the temperature to drop to below 350F (177C). Once the temperature is below 350F (177C) close all lids and dampers. This will help extinguish the charcoal. Allow time for the grill to cool completely before moving on to the cleaning and care section.

Cleaning and Care

REGULAR MAINTENANCE

In order to keep your grill in the best shape regular cleaning and maintenance is required. The best way to protect your grill from the elements is with a grill cover.

• ALWAYS MAKE SURE UNIT IS COOL TO THE TOUCH BEFORE CLEANING AND STORING.
• Inspect hardware and assembled parts on a regular basis to ensure grill is in safe working condition.
• Always empty the ash tray after each use once ashes have completely cooled. Empty the ashes into a metal container and cover with water to ensure there are no lit coals.
• Clean grill and cooking grids with mild cleaning agents. Wipe outside of grill with a damp rag. DO NOT use oven cleaner.
  • Always cover and store cold grill in a protected area.
• Indoor storage of grill is permissible only if the charcoal has burned to a complete ash and is cold.
• Remember to remove cold ashes before storing.
• Your grill is made of steel and some rust may appear over time. If rust occurs clean the area with fine sandpaper or steel wool, then cover with heat resistant paint.
• NEVER USE PAINT ON INSIDE SURFACES OF GRILL.
• Frequent seasoning prevents rusting. If rusting occurs, clean with a steel brush, apply cooking oil or vegetable shortening and heat as indicated in the pre-seasoning steps.
