Direct Cooking
Use both burners to heat the grill for searing of the meat. Once the meat has been seared, turn the burners to LO to cook meat thoroughly.
Indirect Cooking
Once the grill is preheated, turn one of the burners off and place your meat on the grate above the burner that is NOT burning. This indirectmethod of cooking allows you to slow cook poultry or large cuts of meat without the touch of a direct flame.
•Always cook with the lid closed.
•Due to weather conditions, cooking times may vary. During cold and windy conditions the temperature setting may need to be increased to insuresufficient cooking temperatures.
1.Ignitethe LEFT burner. For slow cooking, adjust the control
knob to the LO setting. For faster cooking, adjust the control knob to the HI setting.
2.Place the food on the RIGHT side of the cooking grate.
3.Because the heat source is only on one side, the food should be rotated at least once during cooking to insureeven cooking. Use a meat thermometer to determine when the food is done.

a safe internal temperature, and cut intofood to check for visual signs of doneness.
•Whole poultry should reach 180° F; breasts, 170° E Juices should run clear and flesh should not be pink.
•Hamburgers made of any ground meat or poultry should reach 160° F,and be brown in the middle with no pink juices. Beef, veal and lamb steaks, roasts and chops can be cooked to 145° E All cuts of pork should reach 160° E
