Cooking System - Weber Original Kettle Premium Owner's Manual

COOKING SYSTEM

Extensive thought was put into how your WEBER
charcoal grill was designed. We design our grills
to perform so that you never have to worry about
flare-ups, hot and cold spots, or burnt food. Expect
excellent performance, control, and results every
time.
Bowl and Lid
A
Every WEBER charcoal grill is made with a
baked-on porcelain-enamel coated steel bowl
and lid. This is important because it means it
will never peel or flake. The reflective surface
provides convection cooking, so that the heat
radiates around the food much like an indoor
oven providing you with even cooking results.
Dampers and Vents
B
A big factor in charcoal grilling is air. The more
air that you allow into the grill, the hotter the
internal temperature will be until the fuel
has been maximized. During cooking, you can
control the internal grill temperature by easily
adjusting the lid and bowl dampers. To ensure
a high internal grill temperature for direct
method cooking, be sure that the bowl and lid
vents are fully open. If your intention is to cook
indirectly at lower temperatures, you can close
the lid and bowl dampers as much as halfway.
Closing the dampers completely will cut off
oxygen flow and will eventually extinguish the
coals.
Cooking Grate
C
Made of heavy-duty steel, the cooking grate
provides ample area to make all of your
favorite meals.
Charcoal Grate
D
The charcoal grate has what it takes to
withstand the heat of any charcoal fire. Made
of heavy-duty steel, this durable grate will not
warp or burn through. Additionally, it gives you
enough space for direct or indirect cooking,
providing you with the flexibility to cook the
way you want.
ONE-TOUCH Cleaning System
E
The ONE-TOUCH cleaning system makes
cleanup hassle free. As you move the handle
back and forth, the three blades in the bowl
move ash from the bottom of the grill into the
ash catcher. These same vents act as a bowl
damper, to help bring oxygen up to the fire or
to allow you to easily extinguish the fire.
