FIRST THINGS FIRST

1) You will find that most of the product assembly has

been completed for you at the factory. Complete any

remaining steps and reference all safety and usage

information found in the Product Guide.

Make certain that the holes in the cooking chamber are

positioned towards the smoker box. This will ensure

that smoke flows properly during use.

2) Hand-tightening the LP hose from

The Big Easy

to a full 20lb.

propane tank sounds easy enough,

but thanks to some built-in

safety features inside your

regulator and propane tank, it

MUST be done absolutely

correctly, step-by-step, for your

cooker to function properly. Refer to the Product

Guide for detailed instructions.

3) Just like grandma’s cast iron skillet, the stainless steel

Cooking Chamber needs to be seasoned prior to use.

This is most important, as it will allow the cooking

chamber to work properly. In addition, it will make

cleaning easier and inhibit rusting.

Coat all interior surfaces of the cooking chamber with

vegetable oil. If you use a vegetable spray, wipe down

the cooking chamber after spraying to ensure an even

coat. Start The Big Easy

, close the lid and let it burn

until the vegetable oil burns off and stops smoking.

The shiny finish of the stainless steel cooking chamber

should now have a very dark brown or bronze color.

You are now ready to cook. The more you use your Big

Easy

, the better it will cook. The darker - more

seasoned - the cooking chamber becomes the hotter

and the more evenly it will cook. A light coat of

vegetable oil after each use will keep the surfaces

seasoned and help prevent any rusting –again, just like

grandma’s cast iron skillet.

SMOKING

Smoking food has never been… well…

easier

. Instead of

charcoal or wood, The Big Easy

uses the convenience of

its TRU-Infrared cooking system. Smoke flavor is added

using about a ½ lb. of wood chips or pellets inside the

stainless steel smoker box.

To begin, prepare the cooking basket

with the food you plan to smoke. Food

can be placed in the bottom of the

cooking basket and/or closer to the top

using the cooking racks. Food placed

higher in the cooking basket will be

exposed to more smoke and will cook

slightly faster.

Fill the smoker box and position it in the side of the cooker.

Do not fill above the top of the smoker box. Ignite The Big

Easy

, ensure that the temperature control is set to HIGH

and close the hood. The wood chips will heat up and begin

to smoke after 5-10 minutes - depending

on outside weather conditions. In cold or

windy conditions, it will take longer for the

wood chips to begin smoking. Once the

chips start to smoke, turn the temperature

control to LOW, and lower the cooking

basket with the food inside into the

chamber.

Real wood chips will smoke for 45 minutes in the smoke

box. Wood pellets will smoke almost twice as long. When

refilling the smoke box, leave a few burning embers to help

start the new chips or pellets smoking. If you have no

embers left or want to start with a full box of fresh chips or

pellets, simply fill no higher than the top of the smoker box

and preheat on HIGH for approximately 15 minutes or until

they begin to smoke. Don’t forget to turn the Power Level

back to the original setting. The 15 minutes of cook time

on HIGH will not affect your overall cooking results.

It is normal for some smoke to leak out around the edges

of the smoker box on LOW. If burner is left on HIGH

setting, wood chips will burn too fast and an excessive

amount of smoke will escape around the edges of the

smoker box.

ROASTING

Cooking on HIGH with The Big Easy

will allow you to

prepare Rotisserie Chicken and other recipes without the

hassles of traditional rotisserie cooking. When roasting

with The Big Easy

, there are no forks and spit rod to

balance or troublesome flare-ups to control. No pre-

heating is required. Place the food in the cooking basket.

(Food placed higher in the basket using the cooking racks

will cook faster.) Lower the cooking basket with your food

inside into the cooking chamber. Turn to HIGH and ignite

the burner.

Start out with the lid closed. If your food browns faster

than you like, simply open the lid to finish cooking your

food to the proper internal temperature.

This is also how you can make a delicious, safe and healthy

Southern Fried Turkey –without gallons of oil to purchase

or recycle.

GRILLING

Food can be grilled with the lid open

or closed and the temperature

setting on high or low –but always

preheat on high for 15 minutes with

the lid closed before placing your

food on the grate. Wood chips or

pellets can be used inside the smoker

box while grilling. You will find that

The Big Easy

is perfect for grilling smaller foods that can

fall through the grates on other grills and fatty foods such

as bacon or hamburgers. The enclosed burner design

eliminates any flare-ups from dripping grease.

To prolong the life of the cooking basket, remove it from

the chamber when using the grilling grate. It is not

recommended to place food in the cooking basket while

using the grilling grate.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

1) How does this thing work?

You’ll think it’s magic, but it’s

really simply using two

methods of heat transfer.

First, the propane burner

heats the air between the

cooking chamber and the

outside of The Big Easy

This hot air, also known as

convective heat, warms the

cooking chamber before it

escapes out the top. The

cooking chamber absorbs the

heat and radiates it to the

inside as TRU-Infrared heat.

By converting the hot air, or

convective heat, into TRU-

Infrared, radiant heat, food

cooked in The Big Easy

is moist and juicy.

2) Do I need to soak the wood chips in water?

No. Soaking the wood chips in water before use will

not extend the smoking time; only lengthen the time

before they start to smoke.

3) Can I cook a frozen turkey?

No. Turkey must be completely thawed and you should

always remove the giblets, neck and anything from

inside the cavity before cooking.

4) How should I prepare poultry?

The turkey or chicken must be completely thawed and

you should always remove the giblets, neck and

anything from inside the cavity before cooking.

Remove the metal or plastic tie that may be used to

bind the legs together before putting the turkey in the

cooking basket. Opening the legs

will allow the turkey to cook

evenly and maintain its position

inside the basket. Always set the

turkey inside the basket with the

breast up and the legs down so

that it can cook evenly.

5) Can I cook a turkey with

stuffing inside?

The USDA recommends cooking

stuffing separately for optimal safety and uniform

doneness. Visit www.isitdoneyet.gov for more

information on cooking turkey safely.

6) Can I use injectable marinades?

Absolutely. But if you are really into making it easy,

simply use a dry rub on the outside. One of our

favorites to use is a Creole seasoning with salt, red

pepper, garlic and other spices found readily at any

grocery store. Try to avoid rubs with high sugar

content if you are roasting with the temperature setting

on HIGH. When preparing fried turkey or rotisserie

chicken, you can rub the skin with peanut or canola oil

before using a dry rub if desired. The TRU-Infrared

heat will keep your food moist and juicy on the inside.

7) How long will it take to cook?

With The Big Easy

, food is done once it reaches proper

internal temperature. Always use a food thermometer

to check doneness and remember these USDA

guidelines for proper use:

1) Insert the probe into the thickest part of the food -

not touching bone, fat or gristle before lowering into

the cook chamber.

2) After cooking, check the temperature in several

places to make sure the food is evenly heated.

3) Compare your thermometer reading to the USDA

guidelines printed inside the back cover of this

guide to determine if your food has reached a safe

temperature.

4) Make sure to clean your food thermometer with hot,

soapy, water before and after each use.

5) Visit www.isitdoneyet.gov for more information on

food safety.

Cook times will vary depending on outdoor weather

conditions, but generally you can expect 10 minutes per

pound for turkey, 15 minutes per pound for chicken,

and 30 minutes per pound for pork or beef roasts.

Use the included food thermometer for

larger cuts of meat where at least

three-quarters of the stem length can

be inserted into the turkey, chicken

or roast. For smaller foods, use an

instant-read thermometer that measures

temperatures closer to the tip of the stem.

Always follow the instructions for use from the

manufacturer. See www.charbroil.com for instant-read

and other food thermometer purchase options.

8) How is The Big Easy

faster than an oil fryer?

An oil fryer requires up to 3 gallons of peanut oil that

can take up to 45 minutes to preheat to the proper

temperature. Cook time is about 3 minutes per pound,

but it can take several hours for the oil to cool down so

that you can clean up and recycle the oil. When

roasting with The Big Easy

, no preheat time is

required and it will cool down after cooking in about 15

minutes. The oil-frying process, from start to finish, will

take twice as long as frying without oil in The Big

Easy

9) Can I use drippings for gravy?

Yes - if they are properly prepared.

Before cooking, you must insert a

food-safe aluminum liner into the

removable grease tray to catch the

drippings. After cooking, the

drippings must be heated on a

stovetop to the proper temperature for doneness

(180˚F or 82˚C). Never serve the drippings directly

from the removable grease tray. Custom-fit aluminum

liners are available for purchase at

www.charbroil.com.

10) What is the easiest way to remove food from

the basket?

Patience is a Virtue. When you remove the basket from

the cooking chamber, you will be tempted to want to

immediately remove the food from the basket. Instead,

set the basket on a tray or platter and allow the food to

rest for 10-15 minutes. Once the basket has cooled,

gently separate any places where the turkey, chicken or

roast has attached itself to the basket during cooking

and turn the basket on its side to remove.

11) How do I clean The Big Easy

After each use, burn off any excess grease and food

debris remaining on the cooking basket or that has

accumulated inside the cooking chamber by allowing

unit to burn for approximately 15 minutes on HIGH with

the lid CLOSED or until it stops smoking. After the unit

has cooled, a grill brush can be used to loosen any

remaining material in the cook chamber or grilling

grate.

After brushing/scraping the bottom of the cook

chamber, it can then be lifted out and emptied. The

cooking basket and racks can be brushed and treated

similarly to the cooking grates on a gas grill. They can

also be washed in a sink or dishwasher if desired.

Disposable food-safe aluminum liners for the grease

tray make cleanup much easier and are available from

www.charbroil.com. If any drippings spill onto the

grease tray when removing it, clean with soap and

water. The grease tray has a painted finish and should

not be cleaned in a dishwasher. Likewise, the exterior

surfaces can be cleaned with soap and water as

desired.

A light coat of cooking spray on the stainless steel

cooking chamber after cleaning will help protect against

rusting and build the seasoned finish –again, just like a

cast iron skillet.
