Operating your BeefEater barbecue
Direct cooking method
Commonly used for traditional barbecuing� Place food over
the lit grill section� Excess flaring may occur and so care
must be taken while cooking� Check inside the roasting hood
regularly� We do not recommended this method for roasts
unless you place a baking dish under the roast� This will
allow flammable fats and juices to be isolated away from
the flame� The direct cooking method is recommended for
steaks, chops, sausages, and hamburgers�
Preheating guide
2, 3, 4 and 5 burner barbecue Turn on desired number of
burners to the High position for approximately ten minutes
or until the cooking surfaces are heated�
Cooking with optional BeefEater roasting hood
Indirect cooking method
Indirect cooking is where the heat circulates around the food,
cooking by convection� This is similar to a conventional oven
and is recommended for rotisserie cooking, roasts, poultry,
casseroles vegetables and whole fish� The indirect method
of cooking can also be used to cook such items as thick cuts
of meat and fish steaks that have been quickly seared on
the grill by the direct method (to seal in the natural juices)
then completed by the indirect method� The key to success in
indirect barbecue cooking is to cook slowly�
NOTE: Opening the Hood: The more the roasting hood is
opened to attend to cooking food the more heat will be lost,
lengthening the cooking time�
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Lighting
NOTE: Always open the roasting hood before lighting
the barbecue�
Light the outside burners, ie: one burner at each end of
the barbecue� After lighting, close the hood and allow the
barbecue to reach the desired cooking temperature�
Preheating guide

below medium�

When the desired temperature is reached, open the roasting
hood and sit the roast on a roast rack and place this into
a baking dish� Place the baking dish over the unlit, center
