Exactly what I was looking for. Appreciate the video 👍

[RoyLagpacan]

Thank you for that info. I love my new Char-Griller!!

I set mine up the other day. I'm pretty new to grilling and definitely getting a charcoal chimney

[candybardimples]

Thank you for the video. Just what I was looking for.

Thanks for sharing on how to start the charcoals. Does the damper needs to be opened when u dump the burning coals on the grate?

[brenzog]

How would you add wood chips for smoking

[DrachenRitter]

I nuked mine the first time I cooked in it. Burned off the outer paint layer and now REALLY needs some TLC to bring it back to its glory and take care of it properly. I could not find any information on the Grand Champ 8100. Seems its no longer made and was upgraded to the XD Off-Set smoker. I'm a newbie on Charcoal grilling so I need all the research I can find.

I had my eye out for either a Traeger or Pit Boss Pellet Smoker, but after coming across these having 2nd thoughts. Thanks for the video.

I have trouble maintaining the heat inside this grill. Any tips beside adding more charcoal? I add a fair amount but the heat dips pretty fast.

I love my char oil can you give me any ideas of adding more fuel

[rahachi]

Can anyone give me some advice on cleaning the Grill Plates? Since the Grates look like their made of a Porcelain finish, can you still use a wire brush
Scraper? Or will the wire brush scraper damage the Grates finish? What do any of you use to scrape off your Grates? Thanks for any input!

You said to season the grill, you want to burn at a high temperature for 20-30 minutes. The manual for my new Char-Griller Duo (5050) says 250 for 2 hours and never exceed 450! I guess go by the manual?

Pretty sure this is a repeat question and I apologize for this but…. It’s my first time use and this video says I only need to season for 20-30 but the manual says 2-3 hours…. Which should I really do???

[Mzbrneyz]

So do you need to season it after each use? You mention to spray it down with vegetable oil after each use

[bigotonbrand]

Grilling w South Texas mesquite firewood will cause eventually warping if the body

[parkerwilliams]

How come you suggest not using lighter fluid?

[r.serrano]

Instructions said to coat exterior with vegetable oil for longevity, is that correct?

[kareng]

Good video but the music was a little too loud and drowned out the nice man...

[stickybuns]

This did very little to address temp control.

If you keep blasting the chimney with lit newspaper your charcoal will be ready in ten minutes.
