COOKING METHODS

Direct cooking method
This method of cooking can be done with the hood either closed
or open.
Commonly used for traditional barbecuing. Place food over the
lit grill section. Excess flaring may occur, so care must be taken
while cooking. If direct cooking with the lid closed, always check
inside the roasting hood regularly. The direct cooking method is
recommended for steaks, chops, sausages, and hamburgers.

COOKING METHODS
Indirect cooking method
This method of cooking requires the hood to be closed.
Indirect cooking involves little or no heat directly underneath the
food. Instead, the food is placed on the grill, the burners below
the food are turned off or Low, and burners on either side are
used. The hood is closed to trap heat and moisture. With this
method, heat circulates around the food, cooking by convection.
By trapping the vapour inside your "outdoor oven" , the cooking
vapour will fall back on the food on all sides, not just from
underneath. The food cooks more evenly, and stays moist in the
process.
Indirect cooking is similar to using a conventional oven and is
recommended for rotisserie cooking, roasts, poultry, casseroles,
vegetables and whole fish.
