COOKING TIPS
Cook Food To Proper Temperatures
Cooking food safely requires that you raise the internal temperature of the meat high enough and for a long enough period of time to kill
any food-borne bacteria that may cause illnesses.
Color is not the best indicator that food is safe to eat. Use a high-quality probe thermometer to be sure your food is properly cooked.
Place the tip of an instant-read thermometer into the center of the thickest part of the food but at least 1/2 inch deep. Read the tempera-
ture after about 10 seconds. Follow the temperature guidelines for the type of food you’re cooking.
The following guidelines are from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition.

QUICK TEMPERATURE REFERENCE
The above vent adjustments are a guide. The temperatures may vary due to wind, outside ambient temperatures and amount of char-
coal used. You may have to set and adjust to suit your conditions.
*Low temperatures are best achieved by using the divider accessory DPA304 and controlling the air on one side.
