2..Place delicate foods like fish and vegetables in aluminum foil pouches and indirect cook or place on upper cooking levels (warming rack)..

3..To avoid losing natural juices, use long handled tongs or spatulas instead of forks and turn foods over just once during cooking..

4..When in-direct cooking roasts and larger cuts of meat, place meat onto a roasting rack inside a heavy gauge metal pan.. Place pan over the un-lit coals..

5..Try water pans to reduce flare-ups and cook juicer meats.. Before starting coals remove cooking grids and place a heavy-duty shallow pan directly on charcoal grid.. Fill halfway with water, fruit juices or other flavored liquids.. Place hot coals around grid, replace cooking grids and position food over the loaded pan..

6..Enhance food flavors by using wood chips in smoker boxes or aluminum foil pouches.. Follow the wood manufacturer’s instructions..

7..Rotisseries, grill baskets, vertical poultry holders and other accessories can enhance your experiences, reduce cooking times and aid in clean-up..
