Charcoal Cooking Guide
EN
Charcoal is the traditional way of cooking that we are all familiar with. The glowing briquettes emit infrared
energy to the food being cooked, with very little drying effect. Any juices or oils that escape from the food
drip down onto the charcoal and vaporize into smoke giving the food its delicious grilled taste. The bottom
line is that Napoleon's charcoal grill produces searing heat for juicier, tastier steaks, hamburgers and other
meats. For cooking times and tips refer to the Charcoal Grilling Chart.
The following grilling chart is meant to be a guideline only. Cooking times are affected by such factors as
altitude, outside temperature, wind, and desired doneness, which will be reflected in your cooking time.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure foods are adequately cooked.

Cooking Time
6-8 min.– Medium When selecting meat for grilling, ask
for marbled fat distribution. The fat
acts as a natural tenderizer while
cooking and keeps it moist and juicy.
6-8 min.– Medium Preparing hamburgers to order is
made easier by varying the thickness
of your patties. To add an exotic taste
to your meat, try adding hickory-
flavored woodchips to the charcoal.
20-25 min. The joint connecting the thigh and
the leg from the skinless side should
be sliced 3/4 of the way though for
the meat to lay flatter on the grill.
This helps it to cook faster and more
evenly. To add a trademark taste to
your cooking, try adding mesquite-
flavored woodchips to the charcoal.
