Indirect Cooking Three burners work independently offering maximum flexibility. Poultry and large cuts of meat cook slowly to perfection on the grill by indirect heat. The heat from selected burners circu- lates gently throughout the grill, cooking meat or poultry without the touch of a direct flame. This method greatly reduces flare-ups when cooking extra fatty cuts because there is no direct flame to ignite the fats and juices that drip during cooking.
Grill Smoking You will need: Aromatic wood chips Heavy duty aluminum foil Soak 2 cups wood chips for two hours. Tear off a piece of aluminum foil a little larger than a burner tent. Place soaked chips onto foil, turn up sides to seal chips inside and punch pea sized holes in top of pouch.
Cleaning The Rotisserie Burner Follow these instructions to clean and/or replace parts or if you have trouble igniting the Rotisserie burner. 1. Turn gas off at control knobs and LP tank. 2. Disconnect ignitor wire from electrode (A). 3. Remove thumbscrew from shield (B), remove shield and clean any accumulation of grease with soap and water.
Rotisserie Burner Use The Rotisserie burner is an 10,500 BTU radiant heat burner that transforms your grill into a multilevel cooking center. It is attached to the back of the bottom casting, above the main grid. You can use the burner as a broiler to cook foods on the cooking grates or bonus-grid. If you do, then you cannot use the bottom burner.
