Frequently Asked Questions - 13301719 Char-Broil

How to assemble the Char-Broil 13301719 barbecue ?

Follow the steps in the manual: attach the vent damper to the lid, then the handle. Attach the legs to the bowl, install the leg support, then the ash pan with its vent. Place the charcoal grate and the cooking grate. Use a Phillips screwdriver and two adjustable wrenches. Do not overtighten the vent screws to ensure proper ventilation.

How to safely light the charcoal?

Stack 10 briquettes in a pyramid on the charcoal grate. If using liquid lighter, saturate the briquettes and let soak for 5 minutes. Light in several places with the lid open. Never add liquid lighter to hot briquettes. Wait until 80% of briquettes are gray (12-15 minutes) before cooking.

What is the difference between direct and indirect cooking?

Direct cooking places briquettes in a single layer under the food, ideal for quick-cooking items (hamburgers, steaks). Indirect cooking piles briquettes on one or both sides, leaving an empty space for slow, even cooking, perfect for large roasts. Use a water drip pan in the empty space for added moisture.

What are important safety instructions?

Never use the barbecue indoors risk of carbon monoxide. Keep children and pets away. Surfaces become hot: wear gloves. Do not move the appliance while lit. Use only approved liquid lighter, never gasoline. Read all instructions in the manual.

How to clean and maintain my barbecue?

Let the charcoal burn out completely. Clean out ashes after each use (they absorb moisture and cause corrosion). Rinse the interior with plenty of water and air dry. For the exterior, apply high-temperature black paint if needed. Never paint the interior. Use a bristle-free brush for the cooking grate.

How to control cooking temperature?

To lower the temperature, spread out the briquettes or partially close the vents. To increase heat, tighten the briquettes or open the vents. Use an adjustable charcoal grate if available. For flare-ups, spray water with a squirt bottle. The 5-second method (palm 4 inches above briquettes) estimates the temperature.

Can I use wood chips to flavor food?

Yes, add chips or chunks of hardwood (hickory, mesquite, apple) directly onto the briquettes. Use well-dried wood to avoid bitterness. Fruit woods give a mild flavor, hickory medium, mesquite strong. Experiment to find your favorite aroma.

What does the limited warranty cover?

The 90-day warranty (extendable upon registration) covers manufacturing and material defects for the original purchaser. It does not cover cosmetic damage, normal wear, rust, commercial use, or shipping costs. Keep your proof of purchase. For claims, contact customer service.

Where can I find spare parts?

CAUTION

GRILLING

Charcoal is recommended, however, wood or a combination of both may be used as the fuel source for grilling with the fuel source placed and ignited on the charcoal grate. Do not build too large of a fire. We recommend starting a fire with no more than 10 briquettes and adding more as needed during cooking. After allowing the fire to burn down, place the cooking grate on the unit. Failure to read and follow instructions for lighting charcoal may result in serious personal injury and/or property damage.

GRILL MAINTENANCE

Frequency of clean up is determined by how often the grill is used. Make sure coals are completely extinguished before cleaning inside of the unit. Thoroughly rinse with water and allow to air dry before using again. Wipe out the interior of the unit with a cloth or paper towels.

When finished cooking, and the unit has adequately cooled, clean out all remaining ashes. Ashes collect moisture, which can lead to premature rusting and decay. Also, occasional touch up of the exterior paint will be required. Black, high-temperature spray paint is recommended. NEVER PAINT THE INTERIOR OF THE UNIT.

Cooking Surface: If a bristle brush is used to clean any of the grill cooking surfaces, ensure no loose bristles remain on cooking surfaces prior to grilling. It is not recommended to clean cooking surfaces while grill is hot.

COOKING TIPS

Building Your Fire

1.) Stack charcoal briquettes or wood into a pyramid-shaped pile on top of the charcoal grate. We recommend using 10 briquettes to start your fire, adding more as needed.
2.) If using lighter fluid, saturate the charcoal briquettes with lighter fluid and let it soak in for approximately 5 minutes. If using a chimney starter, electric starter, or other type of fire starter, light your fire according to the manufacturer's instructions.
3.) After allowing the lighter fluid to properly soak in, light the pile of briquettes in several locations to ensure an even burn. Always light the fire with the grill lid open. Leave lid open until briquettes are fully lit. Failure to do this could trap fumes from charcoal lighter fluid in grill and may result in a flash fire when lid is opened.
4.) Never add charcoal lighter fluid to hot or warm coals as flashbacks may occur causing injury.
5.) You are ready to begin cooking when the pile of briquettes ashes over and produces a red glow (approximately 12 - 15 minutes).
6.) Depending on your cooking method, either leave the briquettes in a pile or spread evenly across the charcoal grate using a long-handled poker.

*Always use caution when handling hot coals to prevent injury.

Know When Your Fire is Ready

Successful charcoal grilling depends on a good fire. The general rule for knowing when your coals are ready for grilling is to make sure that 80 percent or more of the coals are ashy gray. If you have less than that, the coals are not ready, and if all of them are glowing red hot, the fire is probably too hot. Here are a few steps you can take to adjust the temperature of your fire:

• If it is too hot, spread the coals out a bit more, which makes the fire less intense.
• Partially close the vents in the grill, which reduces the amount of oxygen that feeds the fire.
• Use the indirect grilling method, with coals to either side of the charcoal grate and the food over the other side rather than directly over the coals.

- In the event of a severe flare-up, spray the flames with water from a squirt bottle. Be careful, spraying with water tends to blow ashes around and make a mess.

- Add briquettes 2 or 3 at a time to increase the burn time. Allow 10 minutes for coals to ash over before adding more.

Direct and Indirect Grilling

Direct Grilling - For most grilling, the ignited coals are spread in a single layer under the food. This is called direct grilling and is appropriate for relatively quick-cooking items such as hamburgers, steaks and most seafood. The single layer of coals emits even, steady heat, whether the grill lid is open or closed, and represents the way most people grill. For more control, pile some of the coals on one side of the grill where they will emit intense heat. You can move the food around on the grill, setting it over the very hot coals when you want to sear it or when a thick piece needs to cook a little more quickly. You can also use the dampers to control the temperature in your grill.

Indirect Grilling - For items that take longer to cook, you will want to use indirect grilling. This method is for long, slow cooking in a covered grill. For indirect cooking, the coals are piled on one side of the grill, or divided and piled on two sides. This leaves an empty space next to the coals or between them. Food cooked over indirect heat is often started over direct heat and then moved to the cooler (empty) part of the grill for even, slow cooking. To make the heat as even as possible, construct two piles of coals. (Remember to keep a spray bottle filled with water on hand to extinguish any flare-ups.) Once you get used to the indirect method, you may prefer to use it for more grilling tasks. Although it may take a little longer, it is an excellent cooking method and a sure way to prevent the food from burning and to promote even cooking.

Grilling with Wood Chips/Wood Chunks

For a more robust smoke flavor while using charcoal briquettes or lump charcoal, try adding wood chips or several wood chunks to the fire. Wood chunks are available in a variety of natural flavors, and can be used alone or in addition to charcoal. As a general rule, any hardwood that bears a fruit or nut is suitable for cooking. However, different woods have very different tastes. Experiment with different woods to determine your personal favorite, and always use well-seasoned wood. Green or fresh-cut wood can turn food black, and tastes bitter.
