Cooking System - Weber 51854 Owner's Manual

COOKING SYSTEM

Extensive thought was put into how your 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 or smoke foods 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 plated steel, the cooking
grate provides ample area to make all of your
favourite 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.
