Dual Fuel Charcoal Grill Cooking

HOW-TO'S
Dual Fuel Charcoal Grill Cooking

Loading Charcoal Into Your Coleman® Revolution™ Dual Fuel Charcoal Grill

  • The number of charcoal briquettes needed depends on the size of your grill, the amount of food you will be cooking, weather conditions and cooking time.
  • Make sure you have enough briquettes to cover the charcoal grate in a single layer.
  • To determine the number of briquettes required, it is recommended to place the briquettes onto the charcoal grate to check for quantity, then remove and place into a chimney charcoal starter.
  • Maximum loading 1.5kg of charcoal.

Lighting Your Coleman® Revolution™ Dual Fuel Charcoal Grill

WARNING

Do not use any flammable liquids such as lighting fluids, gasoline, any accelerants or electric charcoal starter, any other form of self-lighting charcoal at any time, including when manually lighting. Failure to follow this instruction may cause serious bodily injury or death.

THIS PRODUCT LIGHTS WITH GAS ONLY.

The Instastart™ Charcoal Ignition Burner uses a gas ignition system to take the hassle out of lighting charcoal briquettes.

  1. Open the lid. Remove cooking grate. Ensure the charcoal grate is in position.

Putting Out The Fire Of Your Coleman® Revolution™ Dual Fuel Charcoal Grill

Once cooking is complete, follow these steps to extinguish the fire:

  1. Using protective gloves, close the Kettle hood
  2. Using protective gloves, close all vents

Removing Ashes From Your Coleman® Revolution™ Dual Fuel Charcoal Grill

  2. Ensure that the fire bowl vent is closed.
    Ensure vent closed
  3. Once you are sure that the ash has cooled, open the lid and remove the cooking grate.
  4. Sweep all ash and debris from the charcoal grate into the lower fire bowl. Dispose of any larger pieces of charcoal.
  5. Grasp the ash sweep handle and move back and forth until most of the ash is swept into the ash catcher. Use a hand broom for any leftover residue in the fire bowl.
