TIPS AND TRICKS FOR GRILLING SUCCESS

Wear Gloves

Always wear a barbecue mitt or mitts when using

your charcoal grill. Vents, dampers, handles,

and the bowl will all get hot during the grilling

process, so be sure to keep your hands and

forearms protected.

Skip the Lighter Fluid

Avoid using lighter fluid, as it can impart a

chemical taste to your food. Chimney starters

(sold separately) and lighter cubes (sold

separately) are much cleaner and much more

effective ways of lighting charcoal.

Preheat the Grill

Preheating your grill with the lid closed for 10 to

15 minutes prepares the cooking grate. With all of

the charcoal glowing red, the temperature under

the lid should reach 500˚F. The heat loosens any

bits and pieces of food hanging onto the grate,

making it easy to brush them off with a stainless

steel bristle grill brush. Preheating your grill gets

the grate hot enough to sear or brown properly

and also helps prevent food from sticking to the

grate.

Note: Use a stainless steel bristle grill brush. Replace brush

if any loose bristles are found on cooking grate or brush.

Oil the Food, Not the Grate

Oil prevents food from sticking and also adds

flavour and moisture. Lightly brushing or spraying

the food with oil works better than brushing the

grate.

Keep the Air Flowing

A charcoal fire needs air. The lid should be closed

as much as possible, but keep the lid damper

and bowl vent open. Remove the ashes on the

bottom of the grill regularly to prevent them from

blocking the vents.

Put a Lid on It

For four important reasons, the lid should be

closed as much as possible.

1. Keeps the grate hot enough to sear or brown

the food.

2. Speeds up the cooking time and prevents the

food from drying out.

3. Traps the smokiness that develops when fat

and juices vapourise in the grill.

4. Prevents flare-ups by limiting oxygen.

Tame the Flame

Flare-ups happen, which is good because they

sear or brown the surface of what you are grilling;

however, too many flare-ups can burn your food.

Keep the lid on as much as possible. This limits

the amount of oxygen inside the grill, which will

help extinguish any flare-ups. If the flames are

getting out of control, move the food over indirect

heat temporarily, until they die down.

Watch the Time and Temperature

If you are grilling in a colder climate or in a

higher altitude, the cooking times will be longer.

If the wind is blowing hard, it will raise a charcoal

grill’s temperature, so always keep close to your

grill and remember to keep the lid on as much as

possible so that the heat does not escape.

Frozen or Fresh

Whether you are grilling frozen or fresh food,

follow the safety guidelines on the package and

always cook it to the recommended internal

temperature. Frozen food will take longer to grill

and may need more fuel to be added depending

on the type of food.

Keeping it Clean

Follow a few basic maintenance instructions to

keep your grill looking and grilling better for

years to come!

• For proper air flow and better grilling, remove

accumulated ashes and old charcoal from

the bottom of the kettle and the ash catcher

before use. Make sure that all of the charcoal

is fully extinguished and the grill is cool before

doingso.

• You may notice “paint-like” flakes on the inside

of the lid. During use, grease and smoke

vapours slowly oxidize into carbon and deposit

on the inside of your lid. Brush the carbonised

grease from the inside of the lid with a

stainless steel bristle grill brush. To minimise

further build-up, the inside of the lid can be

wiped with a paper towel after cooking while

the grill is still warm (not hot).

• If your grill is subject to a particularly harsh

environment, you will want to clean the outside

more often. Acid rain, chemicals, and salt

water can cause surface rusting to appear.

Weber recommends wiping down the outside

of your grill with warm soapy water. Follow up

with a rinse and thorough drying.

• Do not use sharp objects or abrasive cleaners

to clean the surfaces of your grill.
