An Important Note About Heat Settings

The suggested heat settings shown are approximate. There are many factors such as outside temperature, wind conditions and grill location that affect your grill performance. We offer these cooking times as a convenience, but suggest you watch the grill thermom- eter and adjust the heat accordingly.

Preparing to Roast

Roasting uses the indirect cooking method. Therefore, the food should be placed on the left or right side of your gdll with the Burner lit on the opposite side. You can also use the supplied Cooking Grid with an aluminum drip pan underneath allowing you to collect juices for making gravies. Remember, indirectcooking requires the Lid of your grill to be down.

Preheating your grill is not required for slow cooking methods such as roasting. If you do choose to preheat your gdll before roasting, turn the Burners on HIGH and close Lid for approximately 2-3 minutes.

BAKING TECHNIQUES

From casseroles and combread to delicious desserts like fondue fruit skewers or crumb cake, baking on the grill is as easy as baking in the kitchen.

Preparing to Bake

To bake in your new grill you'llneed a baking dish or cast-iron cooking pan, and a pair of insulatedcooking mitts. If the cooking pan is cast-iron be sure to season the pan before use.

Preheat your grill 3-5 minutes, then lower heat to achieve the baking temperature desired. Baking uses the

Slow	300 ° - 340 ° F
Moderate	355 ° - 390 ° F
High	410 ° - 480 ° F

Food preparation

Trim meat of excess fat. Truss meat and poultry with cooking string to retain shape if desired. Bacon strips can be used to cover the outside surface of lean meat and poultry to help prevent itfrom drying out. Another method for keeping food moist during roasting isto put water in a cooking pan, then cover with foil. The foil should be removed for the first or the last part of the cooking time to ensure proper browning.

Tips for roasting

Except when roasting with water in a roasting pan, the juices that collect in the pan can be used as the base for a tasty sauce or gravy. Place a cooking pan directly over the heat, add extra butter if needed, then add several spoonfuls of flour to thicken sauce. Finally, add sufficient chicken or beef stock to obtain the desired consistency.

Once the meat is cooked, remove it from your grill and cover with a piece of foil. Allow it to stand for 10-15 minutes which allows the juices to settle. This will make carving easier and ensure a tender, juicy roast.
