Indirect Cooking
Poultry and large cuts of meat cook slowly to perfection on the gri!l

by indirect heat. Place food over unlit burner(s/; the heat from lit
burners circulates gently throughout the grill, cooking meat or
poultry without the touch of a direct flame. This method greatly
reduces flare_ups when cooking extra fatty cuts because there is no

direct flame to ignite the fats and iuices that drip during cooking.
