FIRING UPYOUR YOUR MECO ®GRILL6WARNING! Use your grill only in a place with good air circulation to prevent the collection of toxic carbon monoxide gases.WARNING!Never use gasoline, kerosene, alcohol or other volatile fluids as a starter. They can explode.DO NOT USE fiInstant Lighting Charcoalfl. CAUTION! Make certain you leave the Hood all the way open until the flames have died down.STARTING AFIRE: STEP1. Use a high quality hardwood charcoal to make sureyou get a good fire. Charcoal briquettes made from maple, oak, birch or elm woods will burn clean with very little smoke and without unpleasant odors.STEP2. Open the hood and all the vents. STEP3. Remove the cooking grid and ash dump. For paint protection, line the bottom of the bowl with aluminum foil. Replace the ash pan. STEP4 . Place about three pounds of charcoal (48-50briquettes) in the ash pan. STEP5. Make a pyramid shaped stack near the front of the ash pan. Pour or spray on charcoal lighter fluid according to the instructions on the container (use an electric fire starter if you wish-just leave off the lighter fluid and follow manufacturer’s instructions).STEP6. Let the lighter fluid soak in for approximately oneminute.STEP7. Carefully light the charcoal and let it burn for 20 to25 minutes or until it is covered with a light gray ash. NOTE: For a hot fire in a hurry, use a fan or a bellows to create extra air movement over the charcoal. Be careful about blowing the ashes.FOR GRILLING Use long-handled tongs to arrange thecharcoal in a checkerboard pattern. Leave about one-half inch of space between each piece of charcoal. This will help you to avoid flare-up from the meat drippings and will give you the even heat needed for grilling.FOR INDIRECT COOKING such as roasting large piecesof meat on the grid, use or make a pan about an inch larger all around than the piece of meat to catch the drippings. (You can easily make a pan from aluminum foil: just crease the foil to stand up about an inch on all sides and pinch the corners firmly to stop the grease from leaking out.) Put the pan directly under the meat and surround it with charcoal. Most indirect cooking takes a long time. Place an extra supply of 8-10 charcoal briquettes along the side of the ash dump. This allows you to warm up the briquettes so they will light easily when you need them for more heat.STARTING AFIRE FOR GRILLINGFOR INDIRECT COOKINGSTEP10. (FIG. 1) Place the Ash Pan (23) in the bottom of the Bowl. Place the Cooking Grid (24) on top of Adjusting Levers. Make sure large Grid crosswires are down and run side to side for easy height adjustment.YOU ARE NOW READYTO USE YOUR GRILL, BUT FIRST READ SAFETYWARNINGS ON PAGE 2 OF OWNER™S MANUAL.192019202221FIG. 4 FIG. 5 FIG. 6

Turn steaks twice.HOT DOGS – STUFFEDHot DogsCheeseRelishBaconUse Indirect Method, slit hot dogs lengthwise, within 1/4 inch of each end. Stuff hot dogs with cheese and relish and wrap in bacon.

Lower hood and cook 1 1/2-2 hours or until done. Add wood chips and charcoal if necessary to maintain smoke and even heat. Turn and baste the ribs every 10 minutes during the last 30-40 minutes of cooking. Makes 8-10 servings as second meat or 6 main dish servings.P/N 03.5819.00REV. 7/05 RECIPES YOU CAN USE AGAIN AND AGAIN BARBECUED PORKThicker pork cuts should be cooked with the grid in the highest position. The secret is to brown the meat, but not to grill it so long that it becomes dry. Cook for approximately 20-30 minutes.4 pork steaks or chops 1/2 inch thick 1 beef bouillon cube 2 tablespoons hot water 1/4 cup soy sauce2 teaspoons salt 1 teaspoon ground ginger 1/4 cup molassesDissolve bouillon cube in hot water, add remaining 4 ingredients and blend. Put meat in dish and pour marinade over meat; cover and refrigerate 2 hours, turning occasionally. Remove pork from marinade, drain well and grill for 10-15 minutes per side, basting occasionally with remaining marinade. Makes 4 servings. BAKED POTATOES Insert an aluminum baking nail through the center of eachrusset Idaho potato. Let the nail extend on each end. Place the potatoes around the side of the cooking grid to leave room for cooking your meat. Cook 40-50 minutes over moderate fire. Garnish by cutting an “X” at the top of each potato. Push in on each of the four corners and add butter and seasonings to taste. SMOKYMOUNTAIN SPARERIBS BAKED HAMFully cooked canned ham, smoked and cured whole ham,shank or butt portion. Whole cloves Pineapple ringsHam Glaze: 1 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed, 1/2 cup orange juice, 1/2 cup honey. Combine sugar, juice and honey. Marinate meat in mixture a minimum of 4 hours. Use the indirect cooking method with the grid in its highest position and drip pan under the meat. Remove any rind left on ham and score fat diagonally to give a diamond effect. Insert a whole clove into the center of every diamond. Center ham, fat side up, on cooking grid directly above drip pan. Close hood. Approximately 9 minutes per pound is suggested cooking time for ham. Since it can be eaten without cooking, any temperature you desire is safe. Smoked or cured ham, which is not fully cooked, should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160º. Baste with ham glaze 3 or 4 times during last 30 minutes of cooking time. Garnish with pineapple rings about 15 minutes before end of cooking time. Once cooking is complete, brush with ham glaze.BARBECUE SAUCECombine all the ingredients except the garlic and mix well. Pour into pint jars and store in refrigerator. Add garlic one hour before using. Makes six pints.NOTE: Apply the sauce generously during the last few minutes of cooking. Tomato base sauces burn easily and can cause the meat to lose its taste if added too soon.
