How to barbecue (direct cooking)

Traditional barbecuing usually involves using the direct method to cook chops, sausages and steaks on the
cooking grill or hotplate.
Lamb chops and sausages on your Genesis® II are great, but you don't need to be limited to cooking
traditional favourites like these. Barbecuing or grilling on your Genesis II is a delicious way to add lavour
to ish, pork, chicken and vegetables too.
Preheating for barbecuing:
Genesis II E-310 Barbecuing
Whenever you use your Genesis II for barbecuing,
it is important that you preheat the barbecue
irst, with the lid closed. This ensures that the cast
iron grill or hotplate is searing hot when you start
cooking. To preheat your Genesis II for barbecuing:
1. Check that all burner control knobs are in the
off position and check with the supplied tank scale
that there is suficient gas in your bottle (for LP
models).
Preheat Direct (10 mins)
2. Open the lid.
3. Turn the gas supply on at the source.
4. Light all three main burners according to the
instructions in the owner's guide.
5. Close the lid and preheat the barbecue with the
three main burners on HIGH for 10 minutes.

1. After preheating for 10 minutes, your barbecue
is ready to cook. Turn the burners to the settings
suggested in the recipe.
2. Open the lid and place your food directly on the
grill (or hotplate, if you are using one).
3. Close the lid and cook for half the estimated
cooking time (refer to the relevant recipe for
timing).
4. Open the lid and turn the food over.
5. Close the lid and cook for the remaining cooking
time.
Note: Your Genesis II 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
or turn the food unnecessarily. Your food cooks
faster, more evenly and with more lavour if you
leave the lid closed as much as possible.
