An Important Note About Heat Settings Food preparation
The suggested heat settings shown are approximate.
There are many factors such as outside temperature,
wind conditions and grill location that affect your grill
performance. We offer these cooking times as a
convenience, but suggest you watch the grill ther-
mometer and adjust the heat accordingly.
Preparing to Roast
Trim meat of excess fat. Truss meat and poultry with
cooking string to retain shape if desired. Bacon strips
can be used to cover the outside surface of lean meat
and poultry to help prevent it from drying out. Another
method for keeping food moist during roasting is to put
water in a cooking pan, then cover with foil. The foil
should be removed for the first or the last part of the
cooking time to ensure proper browning.
Roasting uses the indirect cooking method. There-
fore, the food should be placed on the left or right side
of your grill with the Burner lit on the opposite side. You
can also use the supplied Cooking Grid with an
aluminum drip pan underneath allowing you to collect
juices for making gravies. Remember, indirect cooking
requires the Lid of your grill to be down.
Preheating your grill is not required for slow cooking
methods such as roasting. If you do choose to preheat
your grill before roasting, turn the Burners on HIGH
and close Lid for approximately 2-3 minutes.
Tips forroasting
Except when roasting with water in a roasting pan, the
juices that collect in the pan can be used as the base for
a tasty sauce or gravy. Place a cooking pan directly
over the heat, add extra butter if needed, then add
several spoonfuls of flour to thicken sauce. Finally, add
sufficient chicken or beef stock to obtain the desired
consistency.
Once the meat is cooked, remove it from your grill and
cover with a piece of foil. Allow itto stand for 10-15
minutes which allows the juices to settle. This wilt make
carving easier and ensure a tender, juicy roast.

BAKING TECHNIQUES
From casseroles and cornbread to delicious desserts
like fondue fruit skewers or crumb cake, baking on the
grill is as easy as baking in the kitchen.
Preparing to Bake
To bake in your new grill you'll need a baking dish or
cast-iron cooking pan, and a pair of flame retardant BBQ
Mitts. If the cooking pan is cast-iron be sure to season
the pan before use.
Preheat your grill 3-5 minutes, then lower heat to
achieve the baking temperature desired. Baking uses
the indirect cooking method. Therefore, your cooking
pan should be placed on the left or right side of your grill
with the burner lit on the opposite side.
Tips for Baking
Prepare your favorite recipe as you wouldin the kitchen.
Foods cooked in the grill for long periods of time should
always be covered in aluminum foil to retain moisture.
You will need to stir the feed several times as it bakes,
and add additional liquid if required.
Watch the temperature, and adjust to cook according to
your recipe directions.
