But on a smaller scale.” - Julio Pitre Chef and Manager Enjoy! Restaurant Apple Valley, MN “There’s no grill like it. Anywhere. At any price.” - Joe Haubenhofer Special Events/Private Chef “Cook Number grills do something no other grill can - make you a better cook.” - Chef Audrey Paradise Landing Restaurant Balsam Lake, WI IT TOOK A LOT OF GREAT CHEFS TO MAKE A GRILL THIS GOOD We spent years asking cooking professionals to design their “dream grill”. Here’s what they said. “It has to have the ability to sear.” Just like they do in fine restaurants. Without searing, a “medium” cooked steak can lose up to 80 percent of its juices. But searing takes temperatures between 500°F and 1000°F! That’s like having a separate burner directly under the searing plate. We did it. We invented the first grill with a moveable burner. What’s the next thing they called for? “Eliminate hot and cold spots.” Hot spots are Grilling Enemy #1. Even grills costing thousands haven’t eliminated them. We did it. We created a grill with a vaporizer plate with specially patterned “heat slots”, protecting the burner, and shaping the hood to produce convection currents, flare-ups are minimized and heat flows evenly. The professionals were impressed but they had one more item on their wish list. “Figure out how to tell when the meat’s done without having to cut into it.” Professionals tell how well done a piece of meat is by feel. They never cut it. Flavorful juices lost by cutting can turn the best steak into shoe leather. You might call it a “tough” problem to solve. But amazingly, we did that, too. By creating the Cook Number ® System. Fire Stone’s exclusive monitor that let’s you know when your food is cooked exactly the way you like it. Perfectly. Your Fire Stone Cook Number Grill does what no other grill in the world can; make you a better cook. And the more you cook on it, the better you’ll get. 5 GOURMET GRILLING MADE EASY THE AMAZING FIRE STONE COOK NUMBER® SYSTEM Good chefs know that meat perfectly done means it’s reached a certain internal temperature. Now, the Cook Number System lets you know the second you’ve achieved that perfect temperature. Allowing you to grill like a gourmet chef the first time you try. Here’s all you do: 1 Switch on the Cook Number System 2 For searing applications turn far right knob clockwise to 500°F (on model CNE-20 simply flip the switch to sear) 3 After searing, transfer meat from right side to left 4 Insert the temperature sensor into the center of the meat 5 Turn Cook Number dial to desired setting from one of the 10 settings - rare to well done 6 Close the hood 7 At the signal (beep and flashing lights), your food is ready GETTING STARTED WITH YOUR COOK NUMBER GRILL 1 Take a clean cloth moistened with cooking oil and rub the searing plates (top side only). Rub the grates as well. 2 Check your grease tray – make sure that you have something to catch grease run-off (a small aluminum tray works great and should come with your new grill. Be sure to replace tray as needed). 3 Plug your grill into any outlet, turn the switch on and turn the temperature knob to SEAR to burn off the cooking oil. 4 After 15 minutes, turn the temperature knob to GRILL at the highest temperature for another 15 minutes to burn off the oil. For best results, turn the grill off and let it cool down completely. Now you’re ready to cook. Note: When finished grilling, unplug grill to conserve energy. 6 TURNING ON THE GRILL Fig. 1 Fig. 2 TO SEAR: 1 Switch grill to ON (see fig. 1). 2 Turn temperature dial to SEAR (see fig. 2) and select the recommended searing temperature. In about seven minutes, you’re ready for searing. TO GRILL, ROAST OR BAKE: 1 Switch grill to ON (see fig. 1). 2 Turn temperature dial to GRILL (on model CNE-20, simply flip the switch to grill). In seven minutes, you’re ready to grill, roast or bake. IMPORTANT! Check grease tray and vaporizer plate each time you cook. Brush any accumulated grease off vaporizer plate, and if tray is greasy, replace it to prevent fire.

Allow for a 5 to 10-degree rise in temperature. • Use tongs - not forks - for flipping chicken to retain the flavorful juices. 7 • If weather is cold or windy, cook times may be longer.
