Failure to responsibly use the outdoor kitchen will result in termination of use privileges. 

Grill Operating Instructions

The grill is connected to a propane tank that is always turned on. Before using the grill carefully remove the cover, which can stay off during the duration of your stay. To start the grill, you simply need to push in the dials on the front of the grill, and turn it up to the desired flame height. There are buttons on the right of the grill that will turn on lights inside the grill and over the dials. Please note the following:

  • Do NOT leave the grill unattended
  • Make sure all dials are set to off when you are finished cooking.
  • Do clean the grill with the grill scraper located in the cabinet under the grill.
  • Replace the grill cover. Make sure grill has cooled before butting cover back on 

Burner Operating Instructions:

Next to the grill is a burner. To start the burner, you push the dial to ignite and turn to the desired heat, like you would a normal stove. 

  • Do NOT leave the burner unattended. 
  • Make sure it is turned off before walking away.
  • Clean any spills or crumbs before closing burner lid. 

Warmer Operating Instructions:

Under the burner is a pull out warmer. To use, open the drawer, insert food, and turn the dial to the desired temperature. 

  • The warmer is NOT mouse proof. If you decide to use it, please wrap your food well in aluminum foil.
  • The warmer is for keeping cooked food warm. It is not an oven and will not heat up uncooked food. 
  • It is REALLY easy to forget about the warmer. Please make sure it is turned off before you walk away.

No fires

The campfire was a staple of the traditional camping experience of yesteryear. However, due to the high fire risk in our area, there are no campfires, open flame, candles, or propane fire pits allowed. Thank you for understanding and helping to protect our community!
