GRILLING METHODS - DIRECT HEAT
Arranging the Charcoal for Direct Heat
1. Put on barbecue mitts or gloves.
CAUTION: The grill, including the handle and damper/vent handles,
will become hot. Make sure that you are wearing barbecue mitts or
gloves to avoid burning your hands.
2. After the charcoal is fully lit, spread them evenly across the
charcoal grate with long handle tongs (A) or using a WEBER
charcoal rake (sold separately).
3. Make sure the ONE-TOUCH cleaning system handle and lid
damper are in the fully open position (B), (C).
4. Once the charcoal has ashed over, replace the cooking grate
inside the bowl.
5. Slide the lid closed on the grill.
6. Preheat the cooking grate for approximately 10 to15 minutes.
7. Once the cooking grate is preheated, slide the lid open. Using a
grill brush, scrub the cooking grate clean.
Note: When using a stainless steel bristle grill brush, replace the
brush if any loose bristles are found on the cooking grate or brush.
8. Place your food on the cooking grate.
Note: When removing the grill lid during cooking, slide it to the
side, rather than straight up. Lifting straight up may create suction,
drawing ashes up onto your food.
9. Slide the lid closed and consult recipe for recommended cooking
times.
When finished cooking...
Close the lid damper and bowl vents to extinguish the charcoal (D).
GRILLING METHODS - INDIRECT HEAT
Arranging the Charcoal for Indirect Heat
1. Put on barbecue mitts or gloves.
CAUTION: The grill, including the handles, lid damper and bowl
vents, will become hot. Make sure that you are wearing barbecue
mitts or gloves to avoid burning your hands.
2. Once the charcoal is fully lit using your preferred indirect
grilling method (refer to "Lighting Charcoal" section), using
barbeque mitts or gloves and long handle tongs, be sure that
the charcoal is properly positioned on opposite sides of the
bowl. Avoid positioning the charcoal next to the bowl handles, or
directly beneath the thermometer and lid damper (A). A drip pan
may be placed between the charcoal to collect food drippings.
3. Make sure the ONE-TOUCH cleaning system handle and lid
damper are in the fully open position (B), (C).
4. Once the charcoal has ashed over, replace the cooking grate
inside the bowl. If your cooking grate has hinged sides, make
sure that they are directly above the charcoal inside the bowl.
This will make it easy to add more charcoal if needed.
5. Slide the lid closed on the grill.
6. Preheat the grate for approximately 10 to 15 minutes.
7. Once the cooking grate is preheated, slide the lid open. Using a
grill brush, scrub the cooking grate clean.
Note: When using a stainless steel bristle grill brush, replace the
brush if any loose bristles are found on the cooking grate or brush.
8. Place your food in the center of the cooking grate, above a drip
pan if using one.
Note: When removing the grill lid during cooking, slide it to the
side, rather than straight up. Lifting straight up may create suction,
drawing ashes up onto your food.
9. Slide the lid closed. Always position the lid so that the
thermometer is not above the charcoal where it will be exposed
to direct heat. Consult recipe for recommended cooking times.
Adjust the lid and bowl damper positions to lower the interior
grill temperature if needed.
Note: Rotate the lid damper fully open to raise the temperature and
close it more to lower the temperature.
When finished cooking...
Close the lid damper and bowl vents to extinguish the charcoal (D).
