We suggest three ways to clean the burner tubes. Usethe one easiestfor you.
(A) Bend a stiff wire (a light weight coat hanger works well) intoa small hook. Runthe hook through each burner
tube several times.

(B) Use a narrow bottle brush with a flexible handle(do not use a brass wire brush), run the brush through each
burner tube several times.
(C)Wear eye protection: Usean air hose to forceair into the burner tube and out the burner ports. Check each
port to make sure air comes out each hole.
7.Wire brush entire outer surface of burner to removefood
residue and dirt.
8. Clean any blocked ports with a stiffwire such as an open
paper clip.
9. Check burner for damage, due to normalwear and corrosion
some holes may become enlarged. If any large cracks or holes are found replace burner.
VERY IMPORTANT: Burner tubes must reengage valve openings.
Correct burner-to-valveengagement
Indirect Cooking Poultry and large cuts of meat cook slowly to perfection on the
grill by indirect heat. Placefood over unlit burner(s); the heat from lit burners circulates gentlythroughout the grill, cooking
meat or poultry without the touch of adirect flame. This method greatly reduces flare-ups when cooking extra fatty
cuts because there is no direct flame to ignite the fats and
juices that drip during cooking.
1 Burner Cooking
Cook with direct or indirect heat. Best for smaller meals or foods. Consumes less fuel.
Food Safety Food safety is a veryimportant part of enjoying the outdoor cooking experience. To keep food safe from harmful bacteria,
follow these four basic steps:
Clean: Wash hands, utensils, and surfaces with hot soapy
water before and after handling raw meat and poultry.
Separate: Separate raw meats and poultry from ready-to-eat
foods to avoid cross contamination. Use a clean platter and
utensilswhen removing cooked foods. Cook: Cookmeat and poultry thoroughly to kill bacteria. Usea
thermometer to ensure proper internal food temperatures. Chill: Refrigerate prepared foods and leftovers promptly.
For more information call: USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 1-800-535-4555 (In Washington, DC (202) 720-3333, 10:00
am-4:00 pm EST).
How To Tell If Meat Is Grilled Thoroughly
Meat and poultry cooked on agrill often browns very fast on the outside. Use a meat thermometer to be sure food has
reached a safeinternal temperature, and cut into food to check for visual signs of aloneness.
Whole poultry should reach 180° F; breasts, 170° F. Juices should run clear and flesh should not be pink.
Hamburgers madeof any ground meat or poultry should reach 160° F, and be brown in the middle with no pink juices.
Beef, veal and lamb steaks, roasts and chops can be cooked to 145°F. All cuts of pork should reach 160° F.
NEVER partially grill meat or poultry and finish cooking later. Cook food completelyto destroy harmful bacteria.
When reheating takeout foods or fully cooked meats like hot dogs, grill to 165° F,or until steaming hot.
Indirect Cooking Instructions
Always cook with the lid closed.
Due to weather conditions, cooking times may vary. During cold and windy conditions the temperature setting may need to be increased to insure sufficient cooking temperatures.
Place food over unlit burner(s)
2 Burner Cooking
Great indirect cookingon low.
Produces slow, even heating. Idealfor slow roasting and baking.
WARNING: To ensure that it is safe to eat, food must be
cooked to the minimum internal temperatures listed in the table below.
USDA* Safe MinimumInternal Temperatures
Fish 145°F Pork 160°F
Egg Dishes 160°F Steaksand Roasts of Beef,
Vealor Lamb 145°F Ground Beef, Veal or Lamb 160°F Whole Poultry (Turkey,
Chicken, Duck, etc.) 165°F Ground or Pieces Poultry 165°F
