Preheating for roasting:
Whenever you use your Genesis® II LX for roasting,
it is important that you preheat the barbecue first,
with the lid closed. Like a convection oven, the
barbecue should be hot when you put your food
in to achieve the best results. To preheat your
Genesis II LX for roasting:
1. Check that all burner control knobs are in the
off position and check with the supplied tank
scale that there is sufficient gas in your bottle (for
LP models).
2. Open the lid.
3. Turn the gas supply on at the source.
4. Light all four main burners according to the
instructions in the owner’s guide.
5. Turn burners 2 and 3 to MEDIUM (M) and
close the lid. Turn burners 1 and 4 to HIGH+ (H+).
Preheat the barbecue with burners 1 and 4 on
HIGH+ and burners 2 and 3 on MEDIUM for 10
minutes.
Roasting:
1. After preheating for 10 minutes, your barbecue
is ready to cook. Turn burners 2 and 3 to OFF and
leave burners 1 and 4 on HIGH+.
2. Open the lid and place your food directly on the
grill above burners 2 and 3.
3. Close the lid and cook for the estimated
cooking time.
Note: Your Genesis II LX will perform at its best
when you let natural convection do its work under
the lid. Try to resist the temptation to open the
lid unnecessarily. Your food cooks faster, more
evenly and with more flavour if you leave the lid
closed as much as possible. As your food will cook
using indirect heat when roasting, there is no need
to turn the food during the cooking time.
How to roast (indirect cooking)
Barbecue roasts are a huge part of outdoor cooking culture in Australia and New Zealand. Australians
were introduced to the magic of the outdoor barbecue roast on the Weber® Kettle in the 1970s, and we
believe there is still no better way to cook a leg of lamb, roast a beautiful Christmas turkey or crackle an
amazing pork roast than on a Weber barbecue. Your Genesis® II LX is capable of this and much more – you
can cook an impressive baked ham and perfect pizzas using the indirect method on your barbecue.
