Warming and
Preheating Your Grill
Warm grill on high setting only
when roasting lid is OFF. The
high BTU burners will warm the
cast iron grill grates evenly in
10-15 minutes.
Warm grill with roasting lid on
ONLY on low or indirect heat
setting to prevent overheat-
ing the grill. Do not leave grill
unattended or above 600° for a
prolonged period of time.
Cooking with Zone 1
Indirect Grilling is similar to
baking. The outer burner can
be turned on to cook the food
through convection like cooking.
Place the food in the center of
the grill, and close the lid. Turn
the control knob to
. Since the
food is not being exposed to di-
rect heat from the burners it will
cook more evenly and be less
likely to burn on the exposed
side. This also means that it will
cook more slowly. Keep all vents
open at all times during cooking.
Use the included thermometer
to get precise temperature read-
ings. See page 27 for tempera-
ture recommendations. (This
type of cooking is best for ribs,
roasts, large cuts of meat, and
pizza.)
Cooking with Zone 2
(Zone 2 engages both burners)
Direct Grilling is the most basic
and simplest way to cook. Foods
are cooked, or grilled, directly
over the heat. Place the food
you wish to grill on the grate,
and turn the knob to
. Cook
to desire time, see table pg. 27.
(This type of cooking is best for
burgers, hot dogs, poultry and
seafood.)
