TIPS FOR BETTER COOKOUTS A ND LONGER GRILL LIFE
• To reduce flare-ups keep the charcoal grill clean, use lean cuts of meat (or trim fat) and
avoid cooking on very high temperatures.
• Place delicate foods like fish and vegetables in aluminum foil pouches and indirect grill or
place on upper cooking levels (warming rack), if available.
• To avoid losing natural juices, use long handled tongs or spatulas instead of forks and turn
foods over just once during cooking.
• When indirect grilling roasts and larger cuts of meat, place meat onto a roasting rack inside
a heavy gauge metal pan.
• Try water pans to reduce flare-ups and cook juicier meats. Before starting coals remove
cooking grids and place a heavy duty shallow pan directly on charcoal grid. Fill half way
with water, fruit juices or other flavored liquids. Place coals around grid per "Lighting
Instructions", replace cooking grids and position food over the loaded pan.
• Enhance food flavors by using wood chips in smoker boxes or aluminum foil pouches.
Follow the wood manufacturer's instructions.
• Rotisseries, charcoal grill baskets, vertical poultry holders and other accessories can
enhance your experiences, reduce cooking times and aid in clean up.
• Clean cooking grids and racks after every use with a quality charcoal grill brush designed
for your grid material. Wear protective hand gear and gently remove the build-up while
grids are hot.
• Allow charcoal grill to fully cool after every use. Then protect clean cooking grids with a light
coat of vegetable oil or vegetable spray, clean out all ashes, wipe outside surfaces with a
suitable kitchen cleaner and protect surfaces with a quality cover that properly fits your grill.
