Barbecuing Guide - Weber Summit Manual

The following cuts, thicknesses, weights, and barbecuing times are meant to be guidelines rather than hard and
fast rules. Cooking times are affected by such factors as altitude, wind, outside temperature, and how well done
you like your meat. Two rules of thumb: Cook steaks, fish fillets, boneless chicken pieces, and vegetables using
the Direct Method for the time given on the chart, turning once halfway through cooking. Cook roasts, whole
poultry, bone-in poultry pieces, whole fish, and other thicker cuts using the Indirect Method.
Cooking times for beef and lamb are for MEDIUM unless otherwise noted. Let roasts and larger cuts of meat rest
for 5 to 10 minutes before carving.
