(M), Low (L), or Off (O) are described in your Weber
®
cookbook. The cookbook uses
these notations to describe the settings of BURNER 1, 2, and 3. For example, to sear
steaks, you would set all burners at H (high). Then to complete cooking, you would set
BURNER 1 and BURNER 3 at M (medium). Refer to your Weber

are still very reflective, may be hotter than those shown in your cookbook. Cooking
conditions such as wind and weather, may require the adjustment of the burner
controls to obtain the correct cooking temperatures.
