Indirect Cooking
Poultry and large cuts of meat cook slowly to perfection on the
grill by indirect heat. The heat from selected burners circulates
gently throughout the grill, cooking meat or poultry without the
touch of a direct flame. This method greatly reduces flare-ups
when cooking extra fatty cuts because there is no direct flame to
ignite the fats and juices that drip during cooking.

temperature as the other burners.
How To Tell If Meat Is Grilled Thoroughly
Meat and poultry cooked on a grill often browns very fast on the
outside. Use a meatthermometer to be sure food has reached
a safe internaltemperature, and cut into food to check for
visual signs of doneness.
Whole poultry should reach 180° F; breasts, 170° F.Juices
should run clear and flesh should not be pink.
Hamburgers made of any ground meat or poultry should reach
160° F,and be brown in the middlewith no pink juices. Beef,
veal and lamb steaks, roasts and chops can be cooked to 145°
F.All cuts of pork should reach 160° F.
NEVER partially grill meat or poultry and finish cooking later.
Cook food completely to destroy harmful bacteria.
When reheating takeout foods or fully cooked meats like hot
dogs, grill to 165° F,or until steaming hot.
