GENERAL GRILL INFORMATION
• Thaw food items before grilling.
• Preheating provides the high heat needed to brown and seal in juices.
• After preheating, reduce the flame to setting listed on Grilling Chart.
• The flame setting positions on the knobs are infinite.
• The degree of doneness is influenced by the type of meat, cut of meat (i.e. size, shape and
thickness), heat setting selected, and length of time on the grill.
• Shorten the preheat time when grilling high-fat cuts of meat or poultry, such as chicken thighs.
This will help reduce flare-ups.
• Lightly oil grill when cooking low-fat cuts of meat, fish or poultry, such as lean hamburger
patties, shrimp or skinless chicken breasts.
• For best results food should be turned only once.
• Avoid puncturing or cutting meat to test doneness. This allows juices to escape.
• Select the “Heating Method.”
USING THE GRILL
1. Refer to the Grilling Chart, Pages 16 and 17, to select the heating method: Direct or Indirect.
2. Follow directions for lighting the burner/s on Page 13.
3. Preheat a minimum of two adjacent burners about 10 minutes with the hood down.
4. After preheating with indirect heat, turn off burner that is under the food.
4. Estimate the grilling time according to the suggestion on the Grilling Chart.
5. For CGB30 models using a propane gas tank, close the valve on the tank after grill cools.
Note: If all grill burners are in use, a five gallon LP tank can be used for 3-1/2 hours of cooking.
SECTION 4: THE GRILL
◆ Direct Heat means that the food is cooked directly over one of the heated burners.
1. Hood can be up or down. 2. Hood position affects total cooking time.
◆ Indirect Heat means the food is placed to either side of the heated area, as on the
CGB30 (30" wide) model. On 36" or 48" width models, the food is placed in the middle
and one or both outer grill burners are turned on.
• For best results, turn on at least two burners even when cooking over just one.
Cook with the hood down. This will speed up the cooking time.
• Do not select Indirect Heat when it is windy.
• When using a high flame, add barbecue sauce to food 10 minutes before removing from grill.
CAUTION: Never attempt to move barbecue with hood raised.
