Just be sure to let the cooking grate pre-heat for 5 to 10 minutes to get that perfect sear on steaks, chops, burgers or anything else you want to sizzle. Thanks to the innovative design, the Kettleman™ requires less charcoal than a standard charcoal grill.įor standard direct cooking, distribute about 50 briquettes evenly. And how you use charcoal is an important part. The low pressure pulls oxygen into the intake vent on the side of the firebox.įrom top to bottom, the Kettleman™ has been designed to give you a better cooking experience. By opening the vent, you release the excess smoke and create low pressure inside the grill. The exhaust grill damper allows heat and smoke to escape the firebox. Exhaust Damper The exhaust damper will be on the smokestack of barrel-style charcoal grills or on the lid of non-barrel charcoal grills.Partially close the damper to starve the fire of oxygen and cool off the grill-open the vent back if you notice the temperature drops too low. For hotter temperatures, keep the damper open. When starting up the grill, leave the damper open so oxygen can get to the flame and feed the fire-if you close the damper, oxygen can’t get to the fire and it’ll die off. The intake damper will be on the grill firebox or the offset smoker fire box. Intake Damper The intake damper is the main temperature control in the grill and brings oxygen to the fire.
Each charcoal grill has a unique configuration, so make sure to check your manual. If the damper is bent or warped, it will not create an efficient seal, and you’ll need to buy a new grill damper.
If you’re not able to achieve the temperature you need, check for any gaps in the damper. You can regulate the temperature by adjusting the grill dampers.
