Grilling; Troubleshooting - Weber Q140 Owner's Manual

You must preheat the grill (15 or 20 minutes) before you
cook on it.
A light coating of oil will help brown your food evenly and
keep it from sticking to the cooking grate. Always brush
or spray oil onto your food, not directly onto the cooking
grate.
We suggest that you grill with the lid down. Why?
Because it reduces the chance of flare-ups, and cooks
your food faster and more evenly.
When using a marinade, sauce or glaze with a high sugar
content or other ingredients that burn easily, only brush it
onto the food during the last 10 to 15 minutes of grilling.
Don't forget to regularly brush off your cooking grate and
clean out the drip pan under the grill.
The following cuts, thicknesses, weights, and grilling
times for food are meant to be guidelines rather than hard
and fast rules. Cooking times are affected by such factors
as wind, outside temperature and how well done the food
should be cooked. Grill for the time given on the chart or
to the desired degree of doneness, turning once halfway
through the grilling time. Cooking times for beef and lamb
are for "medium" cooking time, unless otherwise noted.
Let thick chops and steaks rest for 5 to 10 minutes before
carving. The internal temperature of the meat will rise by
5 to 10 degrees during this time.
