8. Operation
Maintenance & Cleaning
Your Grillworks grill should need no major maintenance for many years. The body and
cooking system’s stainless steel will not rust or corrode, but there are a few things you
should check every once in a while.
1. Cable collars. Twice yearly, make sure the hex screws holding the cables to the collars,
and the collars to the axle shaft, are firmly seated by tightening them with your hex key.
2. Crank wheel. Twice yearly, make sure the set bolt anchoring the wheel to the
suspension shaft holds it tightly in place for turning.
3. Lubrication. Once yearly put household oil on the suspension shaft where it passes
through both sides of the frame or enclosure. Place another drop on the pivot point of
the ratchet- lock that holds it at height.
4. Cleaning. Lower the surface close to the fire at the end of cooking and scrape away the
charred residue with the Persuader. For a deep cleaning, the V-Channels, basting pan,
and Persuader tool will all fit in a standard dishwasher. The frame can be shined with
any cleaner designed for stainless steel.
5. Cover. The optional freestanding grill cover mounts with the Grillery logo facing you
as you face the grill. The opening on the right side fits between the grill frame and the
crank wheel so the wheel remains outside the cover.
Cooking Woods
It is a myth that only certain woods, such as mesquite, make good cooking fuel. Most
dry hardwoods, including some of the most common, are fine, and several superb.

Good standbys are the most well known—oak, maple, mesquite and hickory. Great are
the nut and fruitwoods including walnut, apple, cherry and grapevine clippings. Conifers
hold a lot of pitch so are best used only to start your fire. Be adventuresome—trying
out the great variety of hardwoods available can be as much fun as experimenting with
seasonings or matching wines to your dishes.
