The Char Griller 'Outlaw'


It has the cast iron cooking grates, so I had to oil 'em up and season them.



It also said to rub the grill with veggie oil inside and out, while warm....



so that's what I did

It kinda stinks, but it said to burn your charcoal/wood in it for 2 hours at 250-300 degrees

When you cook everything just right, do you get that yellow glow?

In addition to meat, throw some veggies on there. Squash, Eggplant, etc...Slice the squash down it's length into two pieces and the eggplant into thick slices. Oil and season heavily...

Hit the wood with some Pledge about every 3 months. Did you get a cover to go with it?

That's a nice, big pit for a storebought setup. You can really get your indirect on with coals in the middle or on each side. Did it come with grates / grills for the coals to sit on (it should have)? You will prolong the life of the pit if you make sure the coals rest on the grates and not directly on the bottom.

yes, there is a 'troth' looking thing in the bottom to hold/catch the coals

slides out for easy cleaning!

"trough"..Otis was raised on a farm. I have a little trough insert that is made out of a heavier guage metal that protects the bottom of the grill. Is that what you have?

Have a very similar one with another wood shelf on the other side. A very good value grill. Have been using it for about 3 years without any problems. Make sure you keep it covered up and oil those grill plates or they will get rusty.

My dad has one of these. It does a really good job.

Use lump charcoal, get that bitch hot as the fires of hell on one side, toss a couple thick arse steaks on her for about 45 seconds, pick them up, turn 45 degrees and move to another damn hot section of the grat for another minute, do the same with the other side then finish cooking with indirect heat on the "cool" end of the grill. Those thick, cast iron grates produce some of the most beautiful grill marks you've ever seen.
