Grilling Steak and Ribs
Turn the grill Burners on Hi, close the Lid and preheat
your grill 3 to 5 minutes. Open Lid and place the meat on
the Cooking Grid directly above the lit Burners. Cook the
meat on both sides until seared. Reduce the heat to
MEDIUM and cook meat until done. Grilling times will vary
according to meat thickness.

Approximate Cooking Times
a_e: 4-8 minutes
Medium: 10-14 minutes
Well done: 15-20 minutes
Grilling Hamburgers and Sausages
Turn the grill Burners on Hi, close Lid and preheat your
grill 3 to 5 minutes. Open Lid and place the meat on the
Cooking Grid directly above the lit Burners. Cook the meat
on both sides until seared. Reduce the heat to MEDIUM
and cook the meat until done. Grilling times will vary
according to meat thickness.
Hamburgers
Sausages
Rare: 4-6 minutes
Medium: 8-10 minutes
Well done: 10-15 minutes
Grilling Poultry
Turn the grill Burners on Hi, close Lid and preheat your
grill 2 to 3 minutes. Then raise the Lid, reduce heat to
MEDIUM and cook poultry directly over lit Burners until
done. Poultry skin is fatty so you should expect some
flare-ups when using this direct method.
To minimize flare-ups, try grilling poultry using the indirect
method. Place the poultry on one side of the grill with the
opposing Burners on MEDIUM heat, and lower the grill
Lid. Grilling times will vary based on the size of your
poultry.
Chicken breast
(cook with bone down)
Chicken wings
Drumsticks
Whole bird
(cook with breast up)
Direct method:
approximately 15 minutes
indirect method:
up to 30 minutes
indirect method:
approximately 1 hour
Grilling Pork
Turn Burners on Hi, and preheat your grill 3 to 5 minutes
with the Lid closed. Raise Lid, place pork on Cooking Grid
and cook until seared. Reduce heat to MEDIUM and cook
until done. Grilling times will vary according to meat
thickness.
Chops
Loins
Cutlets
Medium: 10-14 minutes
Well done: 15-20 minutes
Whole Fish and Whole Fillets
Preheat your grill on Hi for 2-3 minutes with the Lid down.
Raise lid and turn Burners to MEDIUM heat. Place fish
(skin down) on grill and cook over direct heat until done.
Use cooking time as a guide or until fish is opaque but
still moist.
Whole fish
Whole fish fillets
10 - 12 minutes per pound or
until fish is opaque
Smaller Fish Fillets and Cubes
Follow the directions from above, using approximate
cooking times shown at right. Place a small piece of
aluminum foil on the Cooking Grids if the fish pieces are
small enough to drop between the Cooking Grids.
Fish fillets
Boneless cubes
4 - 5 minutes each side
or until fish is opaque
Vegetables and Fruit
Prepare your fruit or vegetables and brush with butter or
basting sauce if desired. To cook indirectly, the food
should be placed on the left or right side of your grill with
the Burner lit on the opposite side and the grill lid down.
Or center your food on the Secondary Cooking Rack and
light the outer grill Burners. Either way, indirect cooking
must be done with the Lid down.
In some instances, you may want to grill vegetables and
fruit directly over the heat, using the supplied Cooking
Grids. Foods that work best with direct heat are relatively
soft and require a short cooking time: mushrooms,
zucchini, tomatoes and skewered fruit such as apricots,
peaches, pineapple, strawberries and kiwis. Remember
the Grill Lid must remain up when cooking directly.
For very firm vegetables--particularly potatoes and yams,
we recommend that you partially boil until almost cooked,
before placing them on the grill. Cooking times using the
indirect method with the lid down will be similar to those
for your kitchen oven. However, there are many factors
such as outside temperature, wind conditions and
location of grill that affect your grill performance so we
suggest you watch the temperature gauge and adjust the
heat accordingly.
Cooking times for foods prepared with the direct method
will be much shorter mainly because of the direct heat
source and softness of the food. Timing will be compa-
rable to normal pan frying or grilling.
