9 BARBECUING GUIDE
The following cuts, thicknesses, weights, and barbecuing times are
meant to be guidelines rather than hard and fast rules. Cooking times
are affected by such factors as altitude, wind, outside temperature,
and desired doneness.
Barbecue steaks, fish fillets, boneless chicken pieces, and vegetables
using the direct method for the time given on the chart or to the
desired doneness, turning once halfway through barbecuing time. Barbecue joints, bone-in poultry pieces, whole fish, and thicker cuts
using the indirect method for the time given on the chart or until an
instant-read thermometer reaches the desired internal temperature.
Cooking times for beef are for the US Department of Agriculture’s
definition of medium doneness unless otherwise noted.
NOTE: General rule for barbecuing fish: 4 to 5 minutes per 1.25 cm
thickness; 8 to 10 minutes per 2.5 cm thickness.
