SECTION 4: THE GRILL
•
Thaw food items before grilling.
•
Preheating provides the high heat needed to brown and seal in juices.
•
After preheating, reduce the flame to setting listed on Grilling Chart.
•
The flame setting positions on the knobs are infinite.
•
The degree of doneness is influenced by the type of meat, cut of meat (i.e. size, shape and
thickness), heat setting selected, and length of time on the grill.
•
Shorten the preheat time when grilling high-fat cuts of meat or poultry, such as chicken thighs.
This will help reduce flare-ups.
•
Lightly oil grill when cooking low-fat cuts of meat, fish or poultry, such as lean hamburger
patties, shrimp or skinless chicken breasts.
•
For best results food should be turned only once.
•
Avoid puncturing or cutting the meats to test doneness. This would allow juices to escape.
•
Select the "Heating Method":
Indirect Heating Method
Direct Heat means that the food is cooked directly over one of the heated burners.
1. Hood can be up or down.
Indirect Heat means the food is placed to either side of the heated area, as on the
CGBD30 (30" wide) model. On 36" or 48" width models, the food is placed in the
middle and one or both outer grill burners are turned on.

•
When using a high flame, add barbecue sauce to food during the last 10 minutes before
removing from grill.
1. Refer to the Grilling Chart to select the heating method: Direct or Indirect.
2. Follow directions for lighting the burner/s on Page 12.
3. Preheat the grill about 10 minutes with the hood down.
4. Estimate the grilling time according to the suggestion on the Grilling Chart.
5. For models using a propane gas tank, close the valve on the tank after cooking. Note: If
all burners are in use, a five gallon LP tank can be used for 3-1/2 hours of cooking with model
CGBD30RX and 1-1/2 to 2-1/2 hours of cooking with models CGBD36RX, CGBD48RSBX and
CGBD48RX.

For best results, turn on at least two burners even when cooking over just one.
