secure, and that all necessary components (such as secondary regulators and manual shut offs) are included where regulations require them. Once this is done, the barbeque cannot be moved. It is a permanent fixture of the property. Bayonet Point: Alternatively, you can have the gas fitter terminate the gas line using a “bayonet point”.

Covered Cooking Cooking with the Hood Closed Using the roasting hood traps heat, moisture and flavour that is normally lost on an open top barbeque. The Ziegler and Brown Triple Grill is designed with plenty of power to heat up quickly and cook lots of food with the hood either open or closed. With the hood closed and the barbeque already pre-heated, its important to then turn burners to LOW and to OFF as required, in order to not overheat the barbeque which could result in increased temperature hazards and burning your food.
Page 18
(B) Covered Cooking-Indirect Cooking Method This is when you place the food either above burners that are OFF or shielded from direct heat by using an optional drip pan and roasting rack or any other method of shielding the food from direct heat such as alumimium foil under a roasting rack, or a pizza stone. The other burners are adjusted in combinations of LOW and OFF to maintain constant lower roasting temperatures.

Barbeque Tip Great chefs will tell you that most meats need to “rest” away from the heat of the barbeque before slicing for several minutes to allow the moisture pushed to the surface to redistribute. If you don’t rest the meat, moisture that has pooled near the surface will run out and the rest of the meat will be quite dry.
Warming Rack Significantly increases cooking capacity while still giving great access to the primary cooking surface. Use with hood open to keep food warm or slow roast with the hood closed. You can roast really fatty food like sausages or the warming rack with almost no attention. The more gentle heat roasts slowly so very little moisture is expelled.
