very high temperatures.

6. Place delicate foods like fish and vegetables in aluminum foil pouches and indirect cook or

place on upper cooking levels (warming rack).

7. To avoid losing natural juices, use long handled tongs or spatulas instead of forks and turn

foods over just once during cooking.

8. When direct cooking adjust your burners to different levels so foods can be prepared to

different internal temperatures in the same time frame.

9. When indirect 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 burners.

10. Try water pans to reduce flare-ups and cook juicer meats. Before starting grill remove

cooking grids and place a heavy duty shallow pan directly on heat plates. Fill half way with

water, fruit juices or other flavored liquids. Replace cooking grids and position food over the

loaded pan.

11. Enhance food flavors by using wood chips in smoker boxes or aluminum foil pouches.

Follow the wood manufacturer’s instructions.

experiences, reduce cooking times and aid in clean-up.

13. Clean cooking grids and racks after every use with a quality grill bush designed for your

grid material. Wear protective gloves and gently remove the build-up while grids are hot.

14. After every use, allow grill to cool. Then protect clean cooking grids with a light coat of

cooking oil, empty grease pan, wipe outside surfaces with a suitable kitchen cleaner and

protect surfaces with a quality cover that properly fits your grill.
