hbob Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 I just received my OTB Supreme, however there is no included assembly information at all. Nor is there any information on how to use the grill. I can't find that information on this forum or the website. Does anyone have a link to setup or have a PDF of the documentation. I have searched the forum with no luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have searched the forum with no luck. Assembly? You mean order of grill grates or where to put the heat deflector as the grill should need no assembly (unless Dennis has changed something since my grill). You will have to tighten up the rear spring but a socket should be included. Leave cardboard in place around fire ring as it will burn out on it's own. Charcoal basket first, add charcoal till it fills basket, heat deflector on charcoal basket handle (if desired to use for indirect), next is lower grill (if desired to use) and lastly is the main grill (has trap door on it). There is also an upper grill/sear grill that can be used for another level. For low and slow, open tophat damper 1/8-1/4 turn. Bottom damper door completely shut and turn knob 1/8" open. Light 2-3 pieces of natural lump charcoal by method of choice - torch, gas attachment, fire starter sticks, chimney starter....whatever you got. Leave alone till it gets up to temp and make adjustments slowly as needed....but give plenty of time to settle out. For high temps, light much more charcoal. Open tophat 1 or more turns and open bottom knob up all the way. I usually always keep bottom door shut unless I am searing steaks with grill lid open. Hope that gets you started! The fun is experimenting with the settings that make you happy. Just remember temps react slower with all that thermal mass, so give it time to stabilize and don't make rash adjustments. -=Jasen=- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hbob Posted July 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 Thanks for that Drunk_J. It is a start. There are quite a few small pieces to be attached that I don't know what to do with. Is there something printed that should have come with the offical word on operation and assembly? Some of it is obvious, other items are not. How tense can spring be set, before I break something?

I am sure you will hear from Dennis soon on the printed material. On the spring, you only want just enough tension for the lid to open and not slam back. Needs to be enough to hold it open too. Your going to need to shut it all the way and open it several times during adjustment to ensure proper tension. -=Jasen=- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hbob Posted July 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 Looks like the extra pieces are external to the main operation, for EZ rotisserie and grill handing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hbob Posted July 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 A few parts question What is the pint bottle of clear liquid? Vodka? What is the small spring, about three inches long? Neither shown in parts photo. How does the ash screen mount? Inside? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the parts are actually posted on the forum along with some instructions. Problem is they keep getting buried in the forum. Even the stickies at the top are getting too long. We are working on a forum newby area for just such questions or rather answers so they will be easier to find. BTW, here is a link to the rotis parts if you want more info - viewtopic.php?t=704 -=Jasen=- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goes in the inside, so the ash doesn't wander out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fetzervalve Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 Re: A few parts question How does the ash screen mount? Inside? It's real purpose is to stop small pieces of lump from rolling out the draft door during high temp cooks (when you have the draft door pulled out from the cooker) and burning your deck, or feet! If you are on a non flammable surface and watch your feet, it's expendable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanny Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 Yah, that's what I meant. Lumps and embers, not ash. But at 5:30 in the morning, not all synapses are firing. zzzzz.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
