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 conve-
nience, but suggest you watch the temperature gauge 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 grill
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, indirect cooking 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
grill before roasting, turn the Burners on Hi and close Lid for
approximately 2-3 minutes.
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 it from drying out. Another method
for keeping food moist during roasting is to 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 spoon-
fuls 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.

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.

on the opposite side.
Tips for Baking
Prepare your favorite recipe as you would in the kitchen.
Foods cooked in the grill for long periods of time should
always be covered in aluminum foil to retain moisture. You
will need to stir the food several times as it bakes, and add
additional liquid if required.
Preheat your grill 3-5 minutes, then lower heat to achieve
the baking temperature desired. Baking uses the indirect
cooking method. Therefore, your cooking pan should be
