GETTING THE MOST FROM YOUR BARBECUE
GETTING THE MOST FROM YOUR BARBECUE
Preheating Your Barbecue
Like an oven, preheating your barbecue before cooking
produces better results� Because your hood retains heat
so efficiently, preheating your barbecue is quicker with the
hood down�
Turn the outside two burners to high� Close the hood,
and allow to preheat for about 8 minutes� Then reduce
the burner settings to achieve and maintain the required
temperature, by following these guidelines�
Maintaining The Right Cooking Temperature
These two charts tell you how hot and how long to cook
various types of meat, and the approximate burner settings
to help you achieve these results�
As you can expect, there are many variables involved� A little
experience is all you’ll need to feel perfectly comfortable
and in control of your barbecue�

TYPE OF MEAT COOKING TEMPERATURE APPROXIMATE COOKING TIMES
Beef 180°C/355°F 45–55min per kg 20–25min per lb
Lamb 180°C/355°F 45–55min per kg 20–25min per lb
Pork 170°C/340°F 55–60min per kg 25–30min per lb
Veal 160°C/320°F 40–50min per kg 18–23min per lb
Poultry 180°C/355°F 40–50min per kg 18–23min per lb
Seafood 150°C/300°F 20–30min per kg 9–14min per lb
You may find it useful to purchase a meat thermometer to
help take the guess work out of cooking�
Meats such as beef, lamb, veal and pork should be about
70ºC/160ºF when medium� Chicken and Turkey should be
85-90ºC/185-195ºF�
Most importantly, do not allow your barbecue to overheat�
Your hood is designed to keep the heat in, and so requires
constant monitoring�
Do not use more than 2 burners on high at any one time�
As a guide, for a 4 burner barbecue in moderate weather:
Two burners on low produces 150°C/300°F�
Two burners on medium produces 195°C/385°F�
Two burners on high produces 240°C/460°F�
During cold or windy conditions, more heat is required�
Finally, resist the temptation to keep opening the hood while
cooking� This will help to maintain a constant temperature,
and minimise cooking time�
