warm-up,searing
steaks or chops and for burning
food residue off the grill after cooking is complete.

Medium to Low Settings: Most recipes specify
medium to low settings, including all smoking,
rotisserie cooking and for cooking lean cuts such
as fish.

temperature and the amount of wind outside your
home.
Direct Cooking
The direct cooking method can be used with the
supplied cooking grids and food placed directly
over the lit grill Burners. Direct cooking
requires
the grill lid to be up.The method is ideal for
searing and whenever you want meat, poultry or
fish to have and open-flame barbecued taste.
Deep frying and smoking are also best cooked in
this manner because they require direct heat.

the left or right side of your grill with the burner lit
on the opposite side. Indirect cooking
must be
done with the Lid down.
Flare-ups
The fats and juices dripping from grilled food can
cause flare-ups. Since flare-ups impart a
favorably,distinctive
taste and color to food cooked
cover an open flame, they should be accepted up
to a point. Nevertheless, uncontrolled flaring can
result in a ruined meal.
Searing Zone Cooking
This grill includes a high output BTU burner on the
far right side of the grill (far right control knob). This
burner gets hotter than the other burners when the
knob is in the Searing position. This is excellent for
searing steaks, chops and other foods.
To operate this feature, follow the normal lighting
instructions. Then turn the far right control knob to
the Searing position. Allow the burner to heat up for
5 minutes. Sear your food for 2 minutes on each
side, then grill on low to desired doneness.
When not using the Searing feature, adjust the
knob to the same temperature as the other burners.
