Charcoal Grilling Chart Food Direct/Indirect Heat Cooking Time Helpful Suggesons Steak 1 in. (2.54cm) thick Direct heat 6-8 min.– Medium When selecng meat for grilling, ask for marbled fat distribuon. 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 paes. To add an exoc taste to your meat, try adding hickory- avored 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 connecng the thigh and the leg from the skinless side should be sliced 3/4 of the way though for the meat to lay aer on the grill. This helps it to cook faster and more evenly. To add a trademark taste to your cooking, try adding mesquite- avored woodchips to the charcoal. Pork chops Direct heat 10-15 min. Trim o the excess fat before grilling. Choose thicker chops for more tender results. Spare ribs Direct heat for 5 min. Indirect heat to nish 1.5-2 hrs. turning oen Choose ribs that are lean and meaty. Grill unl meat easily pulls away from the bone. Lamb chops Direct heat 25-30 min. Trim o the excess fat before grilling. Choose extra thick chops for more tender results. Hot dogs Direct heat 4-6 min. Select the larger size wieners. Slit the skin lengthwise before grilling. Charcoal Cooking Guide Charcoal is the tradional way of cooking that we are all familiar with. The glowing briquees emit infrared energy to the food being cooked, with very lile drying eect. 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 boom line is that Napoleon’s charcoal grill produces searing heat for juicier, taser steaks, hamburgers and other meats. For cooking mes and ps refer to the Charcoal Grilling Chart. The following grilling chart is meant to be a guideline only. Cooking mes are aected by such factors as altude, outside temperature, wind, and desired doneness, which will be reected in your cooking me. Use a meat thermometer to ensure foods are adequately cooked.7

Cooking Instrucons Grill Use: We recommend preheang the grill by operang it with the lid closed for approximately 20 minutes. The coals are ready when they have a light coang of grey ash. Food cooked for short periods of me (sh, vegetables) can be grilled with the lid open. Cooking with the lid closed ensures higher, more even temperatures that will reduce cooking me and cook the food more evenly. When cooking very lean meat, such as chicken breast or lean pork, the grids can be oiled before preheang to reduce scking. Cooking meat with a high degree of fat content may create are-ups. Either trim the fat or reduce temperatures to inhibit this. Should a are-up occur, move food away from ames; reduce the heat (reduce vent opening). Leave the lid open. As a general rule, plan on using about 50 briquees to cook 2 lb. (1kg) of meat. If cooking for more than 30 to 40 minutes, addional briquees must be added to the re. When the weather is cold or windy, you will need more briquees to reach ideal cooking temperatures. Inial Lighng: When lit for the rst me, the grill emits a slight odor. This is a normal temporary condion 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. Adding Charcoal During Cooking: Use cauon when adding charcoal to the grill. Flames may are 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 addional charcoal briquees. There are aps on either side of the cooking grid that provide access to the charcoal grate. WARNING! Never add charcoal starter uid to hot or warm coals. Once charcoal is ignited no more uid is required. Operang The Vents: Lid vents on a covered grill are usually le 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 le. Closing the vents either parally 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 exnguish a ame. Vent Open Vent Closed Aer Use Safety WARNING! To protect yourself and your property from damage, carefully follow these safety precauons.

• Close the grill lid and all vents to exnguish re.

• Always allow the grill to cool completely before handling.

• Never leave coals and ashes in grill unaended. Make sure coals and ashes are completely exnguished before removing.

• Use a metal spatula or scoop to remove remaining coals and ashes from grill. Place them in a non-combusble metal container and completely saturate with water. Leave in container an addional 24 hours before disposing.8

It is recommended that the ashtray/drippan be emped out aer each use. WARNING! Ensure the grill is cool and all coals are completely exnguished prior to removing any part from your grill. WARNING! Always wear protecve 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 soluons will not harm decks, lawns, or paos. 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 deterioraon of the grill components unless cleaned regularly. Maintenance / Cleaning Instrucons Grids And Warming Rack: The grids and warming rack are best cleaned with a brass wire brush during the pre-heang 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 puy 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 re hazard. Clean the drip pan aer 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 owing properly. The pan should be scraped out with a puy knife or scraper, and all the debris brushed into a non-combusble 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 stain less steel parts of your Napoleon Grill. Doing so will scratch the nish. Exterior grill surfaces should be cleaned with warm soapy water while the metal is sll warm to the touch. To clean stainless surfaces, use a stainless steel or a non-abrasive cleaner. Always wipe in the direcon of the grain. Over me, stainless steel parts discolor when heated, usually to a golden or brown hue. This discoloraon is normal and does not aect the performance of the grill. Porcelain enamel components must be handled with addional care. The baked- on enamel nish is glass-like, and will chip if struck. Touch-up enamel is available from your Napoleon Grill dealer.9

Troubleshoong Problem Possible Causes Soluon Low heat / Low ame. Improper preheang. Not enough airow. Low charcoal. Lid being opened to frequently. Allow charcoal to burn unl covered with a light grey ash. (usually 20-25min). Open Vents. Add more charcoal to the charcoal tray. Allow food to cook with the lid closed. Every me the lid is removed, the temperature drops. This leads to lower temperatures and longer cooking mes. Excessive are-ups/ uneven heat. Improper preheang. Excessive grease and ash build up in ash/drip pan. Preheat grill with lid closed for 20 - 25 mins and spread coals around evenly. Clean ash/drip pan regularly. Do not line pan with aluminum foil. Refer to cleaning instrucons. “Paint” appears to be peeling inside lid or hood. Grease build up on inside surfaces. This is not a defect. The nish on the lid is porcelain, and will not peel. The peeling is caused by hardened grease, which dries into paint-like shards that will ake o. Regular cleaning will prevent this. See cleaning instrucons.10
