PREHEATING
A typical preheat time for the U-burner is about 10-15 minutes on “HIGH”. The infrared Rotisserie and
Sear Burners also require 10-15 minutes pre-heat time.
TEMPERATURE GAUGE
The large temperature gauge in your Aspire grill hood indicates when your grill is ready for cooking. The
dial reads the air temperature in your grill. Please add about 100°F (38°C) for the surface grate temperature
(see Fig. 8).
COOKING WITH U-BURNERS
AND SEAR BURNERS
The Aspire by Hestan U-burner was designed with even heating in
mind. The burners, along with the specially designed valves, allow
for a broad range of cooking temperatures. The U-burners can sear
and grill your meats on high heat, or be dialed down low for authentic
barbecuing. The radiant briquette trays are an integral part of this
cooking system. They serve to even out the heat, while also reducing
flare-ups and vaporizing drippings which release aromas that are
absorbed by the meat.
For those seeking a little more, the extreme heat of an our Infrared
Sear Burner offers even more power for those wishing a quick sear to
lock in flavor, while still retaining temperature control. However, your
grilling times are much shorter. The mesh screen on the burner serves
to protect the ceramic tiles from food debris and drippings which
might clog the thousands of pores in the tiles. Most drippings and
grease will instantly vaporize on contact with the hot screen and tiles.
COOKING WITH THE ROTISSERIE
Rotisserie cooking provides an even delivery of heat to your foods. The constant rotation not only cooks
foods evenly, it also self-bastes the food as the juices rise to the surface and naturally flow around it. Your
foods will be more evenly cooked, more tender, and juicier when slow-roasted on our rotisserie.
Before rotisserie cooking, remove the warming rack from your grill. A roasting pan is provided with your
grill to catch excess drippings from clogging your burners below. Be sure you remove it after using your
rotisserie and before using the other burners.
The rotisserie system consists of three main parts: the external motor, the spit & forks, and the Infrared
Rotisserie Burner.
THE MOTOR
Your Aspire Grill features an externally-mounted, AC motor which can handle a load of 40 in-lbs and a
maximum diameter of 10 inches (25 cm). The motor must be connected to AC power for the rotisserie to
work. The speed is not adjustable but should provide a respectable speed for the majority of your rotisserie
cooking needs.
THE SPIT & FORKS
The rotisserie can handle large food items up to 40 lbs. You should prepare your food items and first mount
it on the spit, then mount the forks. Push the pointed end of the spit through the food and center on the
spit. Push on one fork and embed into the food, then tighten the thumb screw (use pliers if necessary).
Repeat this process for the opposite fork. You should wrap any loose, dangling pieces of food (like wings)
with butcher’s string (never use nylon or plastic string).
