The most important thing to know about grilling is which cooking method to use for a
specific food, Direct or Indirect. The difference is simple: place the food directly over the
fire, or arrange the fire on either side of it. Using the right method is the shortest route to
great results—and the best way to ensure doneness safety.
You can adjust the burners as desired. The control settings: High, Medium, Low, or Off
are described in the chart. For example, to sear steaks, set both burners at High, then to
complete cooking, set both burners to Medium.
Note: The temperature inside your cookbox for the first few uses, while surfaces are still
very reflective, may be hotter than those shown in your cookbook. Cooking conditions,
such as wind and weather, may require the adjustment of the burner controls to obtain
the correct cooking temperatures.

GRILLING TIPS & HeLPFUL HINTS
COOKING
Refer to the recipes in the grilling guide included with this barbecue.
A light coating of oil will help brown your food evenly and keep it from sticking to the
cooking grate. Always brush or spray oil onto your food, not directly onto the cooking
grate.
We suggest that you barbecue with the lid down. Why? Because it reduces the chance
of flare-ups, and cooks your food faster and more evenly.
When using a marinade, sauce or glaze with a high sugar content or other ingredients
that burn easily, only brush it onto the food during the last 10 to 15 minutes of
barbecuing.
Don’t forget to regularly brush off your cooking grate and clean out the drip pan under
the barbecue.
