Tips for Better Cookouts and Longer Grill Life

1. For food safety tips visit: http://www.fsis.usda.gov/Fact_Sheets/Barbecue_Food_Safety/

3. To keep food from sticking to the grids, spray or coat with cooking oil before lighting.

4. To reduce flare-up keep grill clean, use lean cuts of meat (or trim fat) and avoid cooking on

very high temperatures.

5. Place delicate foods like fish and vegetables in aluminum foil pouches and place on upper cooking levels (warming rack).

6. To avoid losing natural juices, use long handled tongs or spatulas instead of forks and turn

foods over just once during cooking.

7. Enhance food flavors by using wood chips in smoker boxes or aluminum foil pouches. Follow the wood manufacturer’s instructions.

8. Clean cooking grids and racks after every use with a quality grill bush designed for your grid material. Wear protective gloves and gently remove the build-up while grids are hot.

cooking oil, empty grease pan (if included), wipe outside surfaces with a suitable kitchen cleaner and store in a cool dry place.
