To Minimize FLARE-UPS | Brinkmann CHARCOAL SMOKER CHARCOAL GRILL

TO MINIMIZE FLARE-UPS:

•Trim excess fat from meats prior to cooking.

•Cook meats with high fat contents (chicken or pork) on Low settings or indirectly.

•Ensure that your grill is on level ground and the grease is allowed to evacuate the grill through the drain hole in the bottom and into grease cup.

INDIRECT COOKING:

•Indirect cooking is the process of cooking your food without the heat source being directly under your food. You can sear meats over a high flame on one side of the grill while slow cooking a roast on the other (unlit) side of the grill.
