Charcoal Grill Cooking; Indirect Method - Weber One Touch Owner'a Manual

CHARCOAL GRILL COOKING

INDIRECT METHOD

Use the indirect method for foods that require
25 minutes or more of grilling time or for
foods so delicate that direct exposure to the
heat source would dry them out or scorch
them. Examples include roasts, bone-in poultry
pieces, and whole fish as well as delicate fish
fillets. To set up for indirect cooking, prepared
charcoal briquets are set on either side of the
food. Heat rises, reflects off the lid and inside
surfaces of the grill, and circulates to slowly
cook the food evenly on all sides. There's no
need to turn the food over.

NOTE: For meats that require more than one
hour to cook, additional briquets must be
added to each side as indicated in the chart
below.
1. Open all vents.
2. Place the recommended amount of
charcoal briquets on each side of the
charcoal grate (refer to the chart below).
Leave enough room for a drip pan between
the coals.
3. Ignite the charcoal briquets. Leave the lid
off until the coals have a light coating of
grey ash, about 30 minutes.
