prepared charcoal are set on either side of the food. Heat rises,
reflects off the lid and inside surfaces of the barbecue, and
circulates to slowly cook the food evenly on all sides. There's no
need to turn the food over.
NOTE: For meats that require more than one hour to cook,
additional charcoal must be added to each side as indicated in the
chart below.
1. Open all vents.
2. Use the charcoal cup (C) supplied with your grill to measure
the appropriate amount of charcoal to use (refer to the chart
below). Place the recommended amount of charcoal on each
side of the charcoal grate or pile the charcoal into a Weber
Rapidfire
chimney starter.

3. Ignite the charcoal. Leave the lid off until the charcoal has a
light coating of gray ash, about 30 minutes. (When using the
Weber
Rapidfire
chimney starter to light your charcoal, close

®
the grill's bottom aluminum vents before pouring hot charcoal
onto the charcoal grate. Place the recommended amount of
charcoal on each side of the charcoal grate. Do not forget to
open the vents just after charcoal is poured.)
4. Leave enough room for a drip pan between the coals.
5. Position the cooking grate over the coals.
6. Place food on the cooking grate directly above the drip pan.
7. Place the lid on the barbecue. Consult the barbecuing guide in
this booklet for recommended cooking times.

CHARCOAL BARBECUE COOKING
INDIRECT mETHOD
Use the indirect method for
foods that require 25 minutes
or more of barbecuing time
or for foods so delicate that
direct exposure to the heat
source would dry them out
or scorch them. Examples
include joints, bone-in
poultry pieces, and whole fish
as well as delicate fish fillets.
