GETTING THE MOST FROM YOUR BARBECUE
GETTING THE MOST FROM YOUR BARBECUE
Direct Cooking Method
Commonly used for traditional barbecuing� Place food
directly 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, to allow flammable fats and juices to be isolated away
from the flame� The direct cooking method is recommended
for steaks, chops, sausages, and hamburgers�
Indirect Cooking
Indirect cooking involves little or no heat directly underneath
the food� Instead, the food is placed on the grill, the burners
below the food are turned off, and burners on either side
are used� With this method, heat circulates around the food,
cooking by convection�
By trapping the vapour inside your “outdoor oven”, the
cooking vapour will fall back on the food on all sides, not
just from underneath� The food cooks more evenly, and
stays moist in the process�
This method of cooking applies only if you have a roasting
hood�
Indirect cooking is similar to using a conventional oven and
is recommended for rotisserie cooking, roasts, poultry,
casseroles, vegetables and whole fish�
Using The Rotisserie
The rotisserie provides an excellent means of cooking large
cuts of meat slowly and evenly all round�
The rotisserie shaft should pierce the food as close to the
middle as possible� However, occasionally there will be
more weight on one side of the shaft than the other� If left
like this, it will cause a strain on the rotisserie motor�
Use the counterweight to adjust the balance on the
rotisserie� Loosen the handle slightly, and adjust the
position of the counterweight until it is opposite the heaviest
portion of the meat� Retighten the handle� It is a good idea
to spin the rotisserie by hand before connecting it to the
motor to see if it has been successfully balanced�
Using The Side Burner
The side burner allows you to par boil sausages, stir fry,
prepare sauces, or precook vegetables without leaving your
barbecue�
You turn the side burner on the same way you turn your
barbecue on�
Ensure that long handles do not hang too far over the edge
of the burner, as this can create a safety hazard�
