Barbecue roasts are a huge part of outdoor cooking culture in Australia and New Zealand. Australians

were introduced to the magic of the outdoor barbecue roast on the Weber® Kettle in the 1970s, and we

believe there is still no better way to cook a leg of lamb, roast a beautiful Christmas turkey or crackle an

amazing pork roast than on a Weber barbecue. Your Genesis® II LX is capable of this and much more – you

can cook an impressive baked ham and perfect pizzas using the indirect method on your barbecue.

Preheating for roasting:

Whenever you use your Genesis® II LX for roasting,

it is important that you preheat the barbecue first,

with the lid closed. Like a convection oven, the

barbecue should be hot when you put your food

in to achieve the best results. To preheat your

Genesis II LX for roasting:

1. Check that all burner control knobs are in the

off position and check with the supplied tank

scale that there is sufficient gas in your bottle (for

LP models).

2. Open the lid.

3. Turn the gas supply on at the source.

4. Light all four main burners according to the

instructions in the owner's guide.

5. Turn burners 2 and 3 to MEDIUM (M) and

close the lid. Turn burners 1 and 4 to HIGH+ (H+).

Preheat the barbecue with burners 1 and 4 on

HIGH+ and burners 2 and 3 on MEDIUM for 10

minutes.

Roasting:

1. After preheating for 10 minutes, your barbecue

is ready to cook. Turn burners 2 and 3 to OFF and

leave burners 1 and 4 on HIGH+.

2. Open the lid and place your food directly on the

grill above burners 2 and 3.

3. Close the lid and cook for the estimated

cooking time.

Note: Your Genesis II LX will perform at its best

when you let natural convection do its work under

the lid. Try to resist the temptation to open the

lid unnecessarily. Your food cooks faster, more

evenly and with more flavour if you leave the lid

closed as much as possible. As your food will cook

using indirect heat when roasting, there is no need

to turn the food during the cooking time.
