Indirect Cooking
Not cooking directly over hot coals. Ideal for slow cooking and grilling foods requiring more
than 25 minutes such as most roasts, loins, chops, whole chickens, turkey, fish and baked
goods.
1. Open lid and remove cooking grid.
2. Load and light charcoal per charcoal manufacturer's instructions. Leave lid open.
3. While wearing protective gloves, carefully spread hot coals to the outsides of charcoal
grid with a long-handle tool.
4. While wearing protective gloves replace cooking grid, close lid and allow grill to preheat.
5. Wear protective gloves to open lid. Use long-handled tools to place food onto cooking
grids above the areas without hot coals.
6. With lid closed, cook until desired internal food temperatures are achieved.
Note: If additional briquettes are needed, remove food from cooking grid and while wearing
protective gloves remove the cooking grid and place additional briquettes without disturbing
the hot coals. Carefully replace cooking grid and food.
7. Allow charcoal to burn out by closing lid and all vents. Except in the case of an
emergency, do NOT pour water on hot coals.

Life."
Tips for Better Cookouts and Longer Grill Life
1. To reduce flare-up keep grill clean, use lean cuts of meat (or trim fat ) and avoid cooking
on very high temperature.
2. Place delicate foods like fish and vegetables in aluminum foil pouches and indirect cook
or place on upper cooking levels (warming rack).
3. To avoid losing natural juices, use long-handled tongs or spatulas instead of forks and
turn foods over just once during cooking.
4. When indirect cooking roasts and larger cuts of meat, place meat onto a roasting rack
inside a heavy gauge metal pan. Place pan over the unlit coals.
5. Try water pans to reduce flare-ups and cook juicer meats. Before starting coals remove
cooking grids, and place a heavy duty shallow pan directly on charcoal grid. Fill half way
with water, fruit juices or other flavored liquids. Place hot coals around grid, replace
cooking grids and position food over the loaded pan.
6. Enhance food flavors by using wood chips in smoker boxes or aluminum foil pouches.
Follow the wood manufacturer's instructions.
7. Removable grill baskets, vertical poultry holders and other accessories can enhance cooking results.
8. Clean cooking grids and racks after every use with a quality grill brush designed for your
grid.
9. After every use, allow grill to cool. Then protect clean cooking grids with a light coat of
cooking oil, clean out all ashes, wipe outside surfaces with a suitable kitchen cleaner and
protect surfaces with a quality cover that properly fits your grill.
