Everyday Direct Heat With Heat Spreader; Two-Zone Cooking Without Heat Spreader; Indirect Heat - Spark Grills Spark User Manual

How do you
like your heat?
With your Spark, you can play with the heat
spreader and heat shield to create different heat
zones and cooking styles.
The Heat
Everyday Direct Heat
with heat spreader
Use the heat spreader accessory
(included) to get the largest direct
heat cooking area, and a more
gradual differential between the
center and edges of the grill.
This is the setting you'll probably
use most often for everyday grilling.
Two-zone Cooking
without heat spreader
Remove the heat spreader to create
a hot zone directly over the charcoal
and cooler indirect zones along the
sides of the grill.
People love this setup when cooking
things like steaks, where you're
doing some indirect cooking on the
sides, but want to finish with an ultra
hot sear right above the charcoal.

Indirect Heat

with heat shield (coming soon)
Use the heat shield for indirect
cooking, with even, oven-like
heat throughout the grill.
This is the way to go for low
temperature smoking. You also
might like this for baking at
mid-range temperatures too.
