Operating Your BeefEater Barbecue
Direct Cooking Method
Commonly used for traditional barbecuing. Place food over the lit grill section. Excess flaring may occur and so care must be taken while cooking. Check inside the roasting hood regularly. We do not recommended this method for roasts unless you place a baking dish under the roast. This will allow flammable fats and juices to be isolated away from the flame. The direct cooking method is recommended for steaks, chops, sausages, and hamburgers.

Operating Instructions
BeefEater Barbecues
Preheating Guide
2, 3, 4 and 5 burner barbecue Turn on desired number of burners to the High position for approximately ten minutes or until the cooking surfaces are heated.
Cooking With Optional The BeefEater Roasting Hood
Indirect Cooking Method
Indirect cooking is where the heat circulates around the food, cooking by convection. This is similar to a conventional oven and is recommended for rotisserie cooking, roasts, poultry, casseroles vegetables and whole fish. The indirect method of cooking can also be used to cook such items as thick cuts of meat and fish steaks that have been quickly seared on the grill by the direct method (to seal in the natural juices) then completed by the indirect method. The key to success in indirect barbecue cooking is to cook slowly. Note: Opening the Hood: The more the roasting hood is opened to attend to cooking food the more heat will be lost, lengthening the cooking time.
Lighting
Important Note: Always open the roasting hood before lighting the barbecue.
Light the outside burners, ie: one burner at each end of the barbecue. After lighting, close the hood and allow the barbecue to reach the desired cooking temperature.
Preheating Guide
2 burner barbecue - turn both burners down fractionally below medium.
3 burner barbecue - turn the central burner off and reduce the two outside burners to medium.
4 burner barbecue - turn the two inside burners off and reduce the two outside burners to medium.
5 burner barbecue - turn the three inside burners off, leave one outside burner on high and reduce the other outside burner to medium.
When the desired temperature is reached, open the roasting hood and sit the roast on a roast rack and place this into a baking dish. Place the baking dish over the unlit, center portion of the cooking surface.
