Emergencies, Roasting Indirect Method

Roasting (Indirect Method)

!WARNING

To reduce risk of burn injury from hot air/steam trapped inside grill, open Hood carefully when roasting on grill.

Food is cooked like in an oven under lower heat and/or longer cooking times. These foods require more than 25 minutes grilling time and some are so delicate that Direct Cooking would dry them out or scorch them.

Use the Indirect Cooking Method to cook whole meats such as roasts, ribs, chickens, turkeys, and other large cuts of meat, as well as delicate fish fillets. Place the food to bake or roast on the center of the cooking grid inside a metal baking tray or a disposable heavy-gauge foil pan or on a roasting rack.

Preheat the grill with the Burners on “High.” Then adjust the Burners lower to the correct temperature.

Close the hood and cook “indirectly.” Monitor the temperature. If the heat gets too high, turn the Burner to the “Low” position. Avoid lifting the Hood frequently, as heat is lost and the cooking time is extended.

Check the meat for doneness with a meat thermometer.

For longer cooking times, add water to the Roasting Pan to keep drippings from burning. The drippings can be used to make gravies or sauces.

Problem

Gas leaking from

LP Gas Cylinder

Gas leaking between

LP Gas Cylinder and regula- tor connection

Fire coming through Control Panel

Possible Cause

Mechanical failure due to rust or mishandling

Improper installation, con- nection not tight, failure of seal on LP Gas Cylinder

Fire in or around Venturi tube section of Burner

Emergencies

Solution

Replace LP Gas Cylinder.

Remove LP Gas Cylinder. Re-install correctly and tighten. Replace Cylinder if damaged. See “Leak Test” and “Connecting Regulator to LP Gas Cylinder” sections.

If you can safely reach the Control Panel, turn off Control Knobs, then remove the LP Gas Cylinder. Once fire is out and grill has cooled off, remove Burner(s) and inspect for blockage from spider webs/insect nests or rust. See “How to Clean Burners” section. Replace any damaged parts.
