Enhanced New Features of the SportsmanÕs Pro Cast Iron Grill
Formerly consisting of six pieces, theÊSportsmanÕs ProÊhas a streamlined four-piece design (grill base, Êgrill bowl, ash drawer, and grill grate), has a larger cooking surface, and is easier to move about with fewer moving parts. All you need to attach the two enclosed bolts to the grill bowl is a flathead screwdriver and an adjustable crescent wrench. Use the two enclosed Hook & Carry Handles to lift the grate to add coals, maneuver the grill, and slide the ash drawer to open or close.
The removable grill grate makes loading charcoal convenient. The slide-out ash drawer provides an easy and safe update to the draft door construction of the Classic SportsmanÕs Grill. The drawer glides on rails for smooth removal of ash and easier cleanup. And according to LodgeÕs in-house Chef Kris, being able to add coals and remove debris so efficiently ultimately means Òyou can feed folks faster.Ó
Dual air vents on each side of the grill create a cross-draft that enables you to regulate airflow and control the heat more evenly as you cook from edge to edge of the grill. When it comes to adjusting the draft, remember that the more oxygen that enters, the hotter the fire will be. Leave the air vents wide open when cooking quick-sear foods such as thinner steaks and pork chops; halfway open for burgers, brats, and thicker cuts of meat; and mostly closed for toasting bread and lowering the heat on thicker cuts of meat to achieve the desired internal doneness.

Slide the ash drawer onto the runners inside the grill base, and wearing cooking gloves to protect your hands light the charcoal.
How to Adjust the Draft, Pro Tip:ÊWhen it comes to adjusting the draft, remember that the more oxygen that enters, the hotter the fire will be. Leave the air vents wide open when cooking quick-sear foods like thinner steaks, pork chops, and hearty fish that require high heat above 450¡ F. For burgers, brats, veggies, and thicker cuts of meat, leave the vents halfway open to achieve a medium-high heat of Ê375¡ F to 425¡ F. Keep the vents mostly closed at temperatures between 300¡ F and 375¡ F for toasting bread and lowering the heat on thicker cuts of meat to achieve the desired internal doneness.
