Prior to your first use of the Brinkmann Ranch Fire Pit & Grill, follow the
Curing Your Grill
instructions below carefully to cure your grill. Curing your grill will minimize
damage to the exterior finish as well as rid the grill of paint odor that can
impart unnatural flavors to the first meal prepared on your Brinkmann Ranch
Fire Pit & Grill.
IMPORTANT:To protect your grill from excessive rust, the unit must be properly
cured and covered at all times when not in use.
Step 1
Lightly coat all interior surfaces of the grill body including cooking grill with
vegetable oil or vegetable oil spray.
Step 2
To build a fire, you may use charcoal and/or wood as fuel in the Brinkmann
Ranch Fire Pit & Grill.
WARNING: DO NOT use gasoline, kerosene or alcohol for lighting wood. Use
of any of these or similar products will cause an explosion
possibly leading to severe bodily injury.
Step 2
With the coals burning strong, maintain a good fire for 1 hour then allow
unit to cool completely.
NOTE: It is important that the exterior of the grill is not scraped or rubbed
during the curing process.
WARNING: DO NOT use wood logs over 18“ in length.
Adding Charcoal/Wood
During Cooking
Stand back a safe distance and use fireplace tongs to lightly brush aside
ashes on hot coals. Use fireplace tongs to add charcoal and/or wood to
your Brinkmann Ranch Fire Pit and Grill, being careful not to stir-up ashes
and sparks.
WARNING: Keep hot coals and ashes away from the edges of the grill to
prevent embers from falling out.
WARNING: With garden hose, completely wet the surface beneath and around
the grill to extinguish any ashes, coals or embers which may have
fallen during use or cleaning.
