BBQ instructions
I hope you are as excited about this BBQ as I am. If you just need to cook some hotdogs and hamburgers, use the gas grill on the right side. But if you are true Grill master, Please enjoy the smoky flavor of the wood pellet grill on the left. Please be a responsible griller and clean the grill when you’re finished. We keep a bin of wood pellets in the play room. If the bin is empty you can purchase more pellets at Lowes or Walmart. I have attached the instructions. Please read thru to familiarize yourself with the grill.
