HOW TO START YOUR CHARCOAL BARBECUE

ƽ Maximum fuel load is one layer of charcoal briquettes not

piled and evenly spaced on the charcoal grate.

Note: It is recommended that the barbecue be heated up and the fuel kept red hot for

at least 30 minutes prior to the first cooking on the barbecue.

• Open the lid and open all air vents before building the fire. Note: For proper airflow,

remove accumulated ashes from the bottom of the grill if present (only after the coals

are fully extinguished). Charcoal briquets require oxygen to burn, so be sure nothing

clogs the vents.

• Remove cooking grates.

ƽ CAUTION: Keep barbecue level at all times.

• Mound the charcoal briquets into a pyramid shaped pile, or pile the briquets into a

Weber

chimney starter.

• Place either lighter cubes (they are non-toxic, odorless and tasteless) or crumpled

newspaper under the pile of briquets and light. NOTE: We purposely left out

instructions for using lighter fluid. That’s because we think the choices previously

outlined are superior. Lighter fluid is messy and can impart a chemical taste to your

food unless it is thoroughly burned off. If you choose to use lighter fluid, follow the

manufacturer’s instructions and NEVER add lighter fluid to a burning fire.

• Do not cook before the fuel has a coating of ash. When coals are covered with a

light grey ash (usually 25 to 30 minutes), arrange the coals with long-handled tongs

according to the cooking method you are going to use.

FOOD SAFETY TIPS

• Wash your hands thoroughly with hot, soapy water before starting any meal

preparation and after handling fresh meat, fish, and poultry.

• Do not defrost meat, fish, or poultry at room temperature. Defrost in the refrigerator.

• Never place cooked food on the same plate the raw food was on.

• Wash all plates and cooking utensils which have come into contact with raw meats or

fish with hot, soapy water and rinse.

USE OF WEBER RECIPES

• All recipes in this book have been developed on the basis of 70˚F/21˚C weather and

little or no wind. Therefore, if you are cooking on a cold and/or windy day or at high

altitudes, it may be necessary to allow more time.

• The cooking times in this book should be used as guidelines, not exact cooking times,

as much depends upon the size and thickness of the food.

EASY GRILL CARE

Add years to the life of your Weber

grill by giving it a thorough cleaning at least once a

year. It’s easy to do:

• Make sure the grill is cool and coals are totally extinguished.

• Remove the cooking grates and charcoal boat.

• Remove ashes.

CLEANING

Excess drippings, ash and grease will collect in the Disposable Weber

drip pan in the

slide-out ash/grease tray (located on the underside of the grill). Disposable Weber

drip

pans are available that fit the catch pan.

ƽ WARNING: Check the ash/grease tray and the bottom of the

grill for grease build-up before each use. Remove excess

grease to avoid a fire in the bottom of the grill.

Use a warm soapy water solution to clean outside surfaces, then rinse with water.

ƽ CAUTION: Do not use oven cleaner, abrasive cleansers

(kitchen cleansers) cleaners that contain citrus products, or

abrasive cleaning pads on grill or cart surfaces. Do not use

cleaners that contain acid, mineral spirits or xylene.

Slide-out ash/grease tray (a) - Remove excess grease, wash with warm soapy water,

then rinse.

Cooking grates (b) - Clean with a suitable brass bristle brush. As needed, remove from

grill and wash with warm soapy water, then rinse with water.

Inside Lid (c)- While lid is warm, wipe inside with paper towel to prevent grease build-

up. Flaking built-up grease resembles paint flakes.

• When you are done grilling, close all vents to ensure charcoal safely goes out.

• For additional smoke flavor, consider adding hardwood chips or chunks (soaked in

water for at least 30 minutes and drained) or moistened fresh herbs such as rosemary,

thyme, or bay leaves. Place the wet wood or herbs directly on the coals just before you

begin cooking.

EASY STEPS TO GRILLING GREATNESS

Follow these tips and you won’t go wrong. And neither will your dinner.

• Direct, Indirect, or a little of both? Read the recipe and look for the instructions for

setting up your grill. There are two methods of cooking in a Weber

grill—Direct and

Indirect. See the following pages for specific instructions.

• Don’t try to save time by placing food on a grill that’s not quite ready. Let charcoal burn

until it has a light grey ash coating (keep the vents open so the fire does not go out).

• Use a spatula and tongs but leave the fork. You’ve probably seen people poking their

meat with one, but it causes juices and flavor to escape and that can dry out your food.

• Make sure the food fits on the grill with the lid down. At least 1 in. (2.5 cm) clearance

between the food and the lid is ideal.

• Resist the urge to open the lid to check on your dinner every couple of minutes. Every

time you lift the lid heat escapes, which means it will take longer to get dinner on the

table.

• Unless the recipe calls for it, turn your food over only once.

• You will control flare-ups, reduce cooking time, and get altogether better results if you

grill with the lid down.

• Resist the urge to use a spatula to press down on foods such as burgers. You’ll

squeeze out all that wonderful flavor.

• A light coating of oil will help brown your food evenly and keep it from sticking to the

cooking grate. Always brush or spray oil on your food, not the cooking grate.
