Tips for Cooking

DIRECT COOKING
Cooking directly over hot burners is ideal for searing in
juices and grilling thinner cuts of meat such as steaks,
burgers, hot dogs, and portioned chicken, vegetables or
fruit.
1. Open the lid and ignite desired burner(s) per lighting
instructions on page 33.
2. Close lid and preheat grill on "MAX".
3. Wear protective gloves and use long handled tools to
place food onto cooking grills above the lit burners.
4. Adjust controls to the desired flame height.
5. With lid open or closed, cook until desired internal
food temperatures are achieved.
6. Turn grill off by turning the fuel supply to "CLOSED"
and then turn the knobs to "OFF/FERMÉ".
INDIRECT COOKING
Indirect cooking is ideal for slow-cooked foods and
thicker foods such as roasts, loins, whole chickens,
turkey, fish and baked goods.
1. Open the lid and ignite desired burner(s) per lighting
instructions on page 33. Note that to cook indirectly,
you will need to place food over two or more unlit
burners, so light the burners accordingly.
2. Close lid and preheat grill to the desired temperature.
3. Wear protective gloves and use long handled tools
to place food onto cooking grills above the unlit
burners.
4. With lid closed cook until desired internal food
temperatures are achieved.
5. Turn grill off by turning the fuel supply to "Closed"
and then turn the knobs to "OFF/FERMÉ".
CAUTION: When cooking indirectly, meat should be
placed in or over a pan so the fat and oils collects in
the pan instead of dripping on to the unlit heat tents
or burners. Failure to do so may result in a dangerous
build-up of grease and oils, which could ignite causing a
grease fire.

TIPS FOR BETTER RESULTS ON YOUR GRILL
Use the upper cooking grill (warming rack) for keeping
cooked food warm, toasting bread or buns, and cooking
delicate foods.
Use the side burner of the barbecue like a normal kitchen
range for boiling, sautéing or frying.
To keep food from sticking to the grill, coat with cooking
oil before lighting and ensure the grill is hot before putting
food on the grill.
To reduce flare-ups, keep the grill and fire box clean and
use lean cuts of meat or trim the fat.
Place delicate foods such as fish and vegetable in
aluminum foil pouches and indirectly cook the food or
place on the warming rack.
WARNING: Never cover the entire cooking area with
aluminum foil.
To avoid losing natural juices, use long-handled tongs or
spatulas instead of forks. Never pierce the food with a
fork.
Enhance food flavours by using wood chips in a smoker
box or aluminum pouch. Follow the wood supplier's
instructions for how to properly use their product.
After every use, ensure the grills are cleaned and the
grease pan and cups are emptied.
