After cooking, allow the grill to cool completely before using the handle to remove and empty the ash pan.
What to consider before purchase
- Ensure you have sufficient space for the 159 cm wide unit.
- Consider purchasing the compatible LUND 99761 cover for protection against weather.

Usage recommendations: Always keep the grill clean by emptying the ash pan after every use to maintain optimal airflow. For the best results with cast iron, ensure the grates are properly seasoned and lightly oiled before placing food on them.
