Your Char-Griller

descriptions provide four of the most common ways you can cook with your Char-Griller
®
charcoal grill.
Sear
Quickly cook with direct heat at high
temperatures (450°-500°F).
1. Set charcoal grate to high setting (closest
to grill grates) using adjustable charcoal
tray hangers
2. Prepare up to 3 lbs (approximately 50-60
briquettes) of lit charcoal spread evenly
across charcoal grate.
3. Once the grill is at the desired temperature,
you may begin to cook by placing food
directly over the coals.
4. Food will cook quickly. Cook each side
3-4 minutes and then bring to desired
internal temperature.
5. NOTE : Always sear with the grill lid open to
prevent damage to exterior finish.
Grill
Cook with direct and indirect heat at medium
temperatures (300°-450°F). Utilize a two zone
set up to cook at different speeds
and temperatures.
1. Set charcoal grate to medium setting
(halfway between grill grates and grill body)
using adjustable charcoal tray hangers
2. Prepare up to 2 lbs (approximately 30-40
briquettes) of lit charcoal spread evenly
across HALF the charcoal grate creating 2
Cooking Zones.
3. Once the grill is at the desired temperature,
you may begin to cook. First place food over
direct heat, cooking each side as desired.
After initially cooking over direct heat, move
to the cool zone (see picture at right) to bring
your food to the desired internal temperature.
4. NOTE: Wood chips, chunks or split logs may
be used in addition to charcoal to add smoke
flavor as desired.
