Important Information about LPGas & Gas Connections

What Is LP Gas?

Liqueﬁed petroleum gas, also called LP, LP gas, liquid propane, or simply propane or butane, is the ﬂammable, petroleum-based product used to fuel your grill. It is a gas at moderate temperatures and pressure when it is not contained. But at moderate pressure inside a container, such as a tank, LP is a liquid. As pressure is released from the tank, the liquid readily vaporizes and becomes gas.

Safe Handling Tips For LP Tanks

Getting Started

• A dented or rusty liquid propane tank may be hazardous and should be checked by your liquid propane supplier. Donot use a liquid propane tank with a damaged valve.

• Although your liquid propane tank may appear to be empty, gas may still be present, and the tank should be transported and stored accordingly.

• The LP tank must be installed, transported, and stored in an upright, secure position. LP tanks should not be dropped or handled roughly.

• Never store or transport the LP tank where temperatures can reach 125° F (51.7° C) (the tank will become too hot to hold by hand).

• Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever the cylinder is not in use. Only install the type of dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet that is provided with the cylinder valve. Other types of caps or plugs may result in leakage of propane.

LP Tank Requirements

• The tank must be approximately 18¼inches (46.35 cm) high and 12¼ inches (31.1 cm) in diameter with a marked 20 pound (9.07 kg) LPG capacity or 47.6 pound (21.6 kg) water capacity as stated by the manufacturer. Other tanks may be acceptable provided they are compatible with the grill retention means (tank scale).

• The tank used must be constructed and marked in accordance with the Speciﬁcations for LP gas Cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (D.O.T.); or the Canadian Standard for Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for Transportation of Dangerous Goods and Commission, CAN/CSA-B339, as applicable.

• Tanks must be provided with a listed OPD (Overﬁlling Prevention Device) and a Type 1 (CGA 791) tank connection. The tank connection must be compatible with the grill connection.

• The tank must include a collar to protect the tank valve.

• Tanks must have a D.O.T. certiﬁcation (A), and a testing date (B) that is within ﬁve years of current use.

What is a Regulator?

Your gas grill is equipped with a pressure regulator, which is a device to control and maintain uniform gas pressure as gas is released from the LP tank.

Regulator Requirements

• The regulator and hose assembly supplied with this grill must be used. This regulator has a ﬂow limiting device built into the unit that will restrict the ﬂow of gas in the event that a leak is detected.

• Replacement regulator and hose assemblies must be as speciﬁed by Weber-Stephen Products LLC (UL-listed Type 1 (CGA 791) tank connection device as described in the latest edition of ANSI Z21.81).

Page 7

LP Tank Installation

Installation Location

The tank is hung onto the tank scale which is located inside the cabinet. The shape of the collar assembly (the metal protective ring around the tank valve) determines one of t wo direc tions in which the tank will correctly hang on the tank scale (A).

Inspect the Tank

1) Conﬁrm that the tank valve is fully closed. Close by turning valve clockwise.

2) Conﬁrm that the tank valve is the proper mating type for the regulator (B).

3) Inspect the tank valve, including the internal rubber seal for damage or debris (C). If damaged, return tank to local retailer.

Install The Tank

1) Check that all burner control knobs are in the o position. Check by pushing in and turning knobs clockwise.

2) Locate the hose retention clip on the regulator hose. Secure the clip into the slot on the underside of the tank scale(D).

3) Loosen hand nut and rotate tank lock up(E).

4) Lift tank into position on the tank scale (F).

5) Rotate the tank lock down. Tighten the hand nut.

6) Screw the regulator coupling onto the tank valve, turning clockwise (G). Hand-tighten only. Using a wrench could damage the regulator coupling and could cause a leak. Proceed to “CHECKING FOR GASLE AKS.”

Getting Started

m WARNING: The hose must be secured to

the tank scale with the Hose Retention Clip. Failure to do so could cause damage to the hose resulting in a ﬁre or explosion which can cause serious bodily injury or death, and damage to property.

LeakChecking

What is a Leak Check?

Once the L P tank is properly installed, it is necessar y to perform a leak check. A leak check is a reliable way to verif y that gas is not escaping after you connect the tank. The fuel system in your grill features factorymade connections that have been thoroughly checked for gas leaks and the burners have been ﬂame-tested. WEBER recommends performing a thorough leak check af ter assembly, as well as annually. The following ﬁttings should b e tested:

• Where the regulator connects to the tank.

• Where the gas hose connects to the bulkhead.

Getting Started

• Where the bulkhead connects to the corrugated gas line.

Checking for Gas Leaks

1) Wet ﬁttings (G) with a soap and water solution,

using a spray bottle, brush, or rag. You can make your own soap and water solution by mixing 20% liquid soap with 80% water; or, you can purchase leak check solution in the plumbing section of any hardware store.

2) Slowly open gas supply by turning tank valve

counterclockwise while checking for bubbles.

3) If bubbles appear there is a leak :

a) If the leak is at the cylinder (H), tur n o the gas.

DONOT OPERATE THE GRILL. Disconnect the tank and return the tank to your local retailer.

b) If the leak is at the regulator (I), tur n o the gas.

NEVER ATTEMP T TO TIGH TEN THE REGULATOR WITH TANK VALVE OPEN. DO NOT OPERATE THE GRILL. Contact the Customer Service Representative in your area using the contact information on our website.

c) If the leak is at any ﬁttings indicated in

illustration (J), re-tighten ﬁtting with a wrench and recheck for leaks with soap and water solution. If leak persist s, turn o the gas. DO NOT OPERATE THE GRILL .

d) If the leak is at any ﬁttings indicated in

illustration (K), turn o the gas. DO NOT OPERATE THE GRILL .

If a leak is present, contact the Customer Service

Representative in your area using the contact information on our website.

4) If bubbles do not appear, leak checking is complete:

a) Turn gas supply o at the tank and rinse

connections with water.

NOTE: Since some leak test solutions, including soap and water, may be slightly corrosive, all conne ctions should be rinsed with water after checking for leaks.

m DANGER: Do not use a ﬂame to check for gas

leaks. Besure there are no sparks or open ﬂames in the area while you check for leaks.

m DANGER: Leaking gas may cause a ﬁre or

explosion.

m DANGER: Do not operate the grill if there is a

gas leak present.

m DANGER: If you see, smell, or hear the hiss of

gas escaping from the liquid propane tank:

1) Move away from liquid propane tank.

2) Do not attempt to correct the problem yourself.

3) Call your ﬁre department.

m DANGER: Always close the tank valve before

disconnecting the regulator. Do not attempt to disconnect the gas regulator and hose assembly or any gas ﬁtting while this grill is in operation.

m DANGER: Do not store a spare LP tank under

or near this grill. Never ﬁll the tank beyond 80% full. Failure to follow these statements exactly may result in a ﬁre causing death or serious injury.

Refilling or Replacing an LPTank

How Much Fuel is in the Tank?

The tank s cale indicates the amount of fuel in a standard 20 pound (9.07 kg) tank once the tank is hung from the s cale. The fuel level is checked by viewing the red level indicator arrow on the front of the grill, adjacent to the door. You can also view the indicator line located on the s cale inside of the cabinet. The indicator points to a full tank (A), and gradually moves to indicate when the tank is empt y(B) and nee ds to be removed to replace or reﬁll .

Removal of the LP Tank

1) Conﬁrm that the tank valve is fully closed. Close by turning valve clockwise (C).

2) Unscrew regulator coupling by turning counterclockwise by hand (D).

3) Loosen tank hand nut and turn tank lock up out of the way.

4) Lift tank o tank scale.

Additional Leak Check Precautions

The following ﬁt tings should be tested for gas leaks each time a tank is reﬁlled and reinstalled:

• Where the regulator connects to the tank (H) and at

the regulator (I).

Follow the instructions for "Checking for Gas Leaks".

Getting Started

•

Look for a basting brush with heat-

The Very First Time You Grill

Perform an Initial Burn-Off

Heat the grill on the highest setting, with the lid closed, for at least 20 minutes prior to grilling for the ﬁrsttime.

Every Time You Grill

Operation

Meal-to-Meal Maintenance

The Meal-To-Meal Maintenance plan includes the following simple, yet important, steps that should always be performed prior to grilling.

Check for Grease

Your grill was built with a grease management system that funnels grease away from food and into a disposable container. As you cook, grease is channeled down the slide-out grease tray and into a disposable drip tray that lines the catch pan. This system should be cleaned each and every time you grill to preventﬁres.

1. Conﬁrm that the grill is o and cool.

2. Open the doors.

3. Access the slide-out grease tray by pulling the tray

towards you until it stops (A). Remove excess grease with a plastic scraper. Scrape the grease down through the openning in the grease tray, into the catch pan below.

4. Remove the catch pan (B). Check for excessive amounts of grease in the disposable drip pan that lines the catch pan. Discard disposable drip pan when necessary and replace with a new one.

5. Reinstall all components.

Inspect the Hose

Routine inspection of the hose is necessary.

1. Conﬁrm that the grill is o and cool.

2. Check hose for any signs of cracking, abrasions, or

cuts(C). If the hose is found to be damaged in any way, do not use the grill.

Preheat the Grill

Preheating the grill is critical to successful grilling. Preheating helps to prevent food from sticking to the grate and gets the grate hot enough to sear properly. Italso burns o residue of a previously cooked meal.

1. Open the grill lid.

2. Ignite your grill according to the ignition instructions

in this Owner's Manual.

3. Close lid.

4. Preheat the grill with all burners on the start/high

position for 15 minutes(D).

Clean the Cooking Grate

After preheating, any bits of food or debris left over from previous use will be easier to remove. Cleaned grates will also prevent your next meal from sticking.

1. Brush the grates with a stainless steel bristle grill brush immediately after preheating (E).

m DANGER: Do not line the slide-out grease tray

or cookbox with aluminum foil.

m DANGER: Check the slide-out grease tray and

catch pan for grease build-up before each use. Remove excess grease to avoid a grease ﬁre.

m WARNING: Use caution when removing catch

pan and disposing of hot grease.

m WARNING: Use heat-resistant barbecue mitts

or gloves when operating grill.

m WARNING: Grill brushes should be checked for

loose bristles and excessive wear on a regular basis. Replace brush if any loose bristles are found on cooking grates or brush. WEBER recommends purchasing a new stainless steel bristle grill brush at the beginning of every spring.

m WARNING: If the hose is found to be damaged

in any way, do not use the grill. Replace using only WEBER authorized replacement hose.

m WARNING: Keep ventilation openings around

tank clear and free of debris.

Page 11

Igniting the Grill

Using the Electronic Ignition System to Ignite the Grill

Each control knob operates an individual burner, and each burner ignites independently. Ignite the burners starting from left to right. All burners should be lit for preheating, however, all burners do not have to be lit while grilling.

1) Open the gr ill lid (A).

2) Check that all burner control knobs are in the o position. Check by pushing in and turning knobs

clockwise (B).

Note: It is important that all burner control knobs are in the o position before turning on the LP tank. If they are not, the ﬂow limiting device built into the regulator will activate, limiting the ﬂow of gas from the LP tank.

3) Turn the LP tank on by slowly tur ning the tank valve

counterclockwise; wait 60 seconds (C).

Note: It is important that the LP tank is turned on slowly. Ifit is opened too quickly, the ﬂow limiting device built into the regulator will activate, limiting the ﬂow of gas from the LP tank.

4) Begin with the burner furthest to the left. Push the

burner control knob in and turn it counterclockwise to the start/high

5) Push and hold the elec tronic ignition button (E).

Youwill hear it ticking.

6) Check that the burner is lit by looking through the

cooking grates and through the half-circle cutout in the FLAVORIZER bar.

7) If the burner does not ignite, turn burner control

knob to the o allow the gas to clear before attempting to light the burner again.

8) If the burner ignites, repeat steps 4 through 6 to

light the remaining burners.

Should the burners fail to ignite using the electronic ignition, refer to the TROUBLESHO OTING section. Thereyou will ﬁnd instructions on igniting the grill with a match to help determine the exact problem.

To Extinguish Burners

1) Push each burner control knob in and then turn

clockwise all the way to the o position.

2) Turn gas supply o at the LP tank .

Using the sear zone

Searing is a direct grilling technique used on meats, such as steak, poultry parts, ﬁsh and chops. Searing browns the surface of the food at a high temperature. By searing both sides of the meat, you caramelize the food surface, creating a more desirable ﬂavor.

Ignition of the sear burner is the same as ignition of a main burner, each burner ignites independently.

Operation

1) Open the lid and ignite all of the bur ners, including the sear burner. Refer to USING THE ELECTRONIC IGNITION SYST EM TO IGNI TE THE GRILL.

2) Preheat the grill with the lid closed and with all burners on the start/high

3) After preheating, leave the sear burner control knob and the adjacent burner control knobs in the start/high tandem with adjacent burners (B). The remaining burner (s) can be turned to o or low.

4) Place meat directly over the sear zone and close lid. Sear each side anywhere from one to four minutes (C), depending on the t ype and thickness of meat. Once searing is complete, the meat can be moved to moderate heat over and cooked to your desired doneness.

Note: Always cook with the lid closed to achieve maximum heat and to avoid ﬂare-ups.

As you gain experience using the sear zone we encourage you to experiment with dierent searing times to ﬁnd the results that work best for your taste.

The Flame - Direct or Indirect

Tips and Hints

HIGH

DIRECT HEAT

SETUP

Use the direct method for small, tender pieces of food that take less than 20 minutes to cook, suchas: hamburgers, steaks, chops, kabobs, boneless chicken pieces, ﬁsh ﬁllets, shellﬁsh, and slicedvegetables.

With direct heat, the ﬁre is right below the food. It sears the surfaces of the food, developing ﬂavors, texture, and delicious caramelization while cooking the food all the way to thecenter.

OFF

MEDIUM

INDIRECT HEAT

SETUP

Use the indirect method for larger cuts of meat that require 20 minutes or more of grilling time, or for foods so delicate that direct exposure to the heat would dry them out or scorch them, such as: roasts, bone-in poultry pieces, whole ﬁsh, delicate ﬁsh ﬁllets, whole chickens, turkeys, and ribs. Indirect heat can also be used for ﬁnishing thicker foods or bone-in cuts that have been seared or browned ﬁrst over direct heat.

With indirect heat, the heat is on both sides of the grill, or o to one side of the grill. The food sits over the unlit part on the cooking grate.

Tips and Hints

GrillingDo’s andDon’ts

Preheat each and every time.

If the cooking grates aren’t hot enough, food will stick, and you will likely never have a chance of searing properly or developing those handsome grill marks. Even if a recipe calls for medium or low heat, always preheat the grill on the highest setting ﬁrst. Open the lid, turn up the heat, close the lid, and then let the cooking grate heat up for 15 minutes on high.

Don't grill on dirty grates.

Tossing food onto the cooking grates before they have been cleaned is never a good idea. Leftover “stu” on the grates acts like glue, binding it to the grates and your new food. To avoid tasting last night’s dinner on today’s lunch, make sure you are grilling on a clean cooking grate. Once the grates are preheated, use a stainless steel bristle grill brush to make a clean, smooth surface.

Be present in the process.

Before ﬁring up your grill, make sure that everything you need is within arm’s reach. Don’t forget your essential grilling tools, already oiled and seasoned food, glazes or sauces, and clean cooking platters for cooked food. Having to run back to your kitchen not only means missing out on the fun, but could also result in burning your food. French chefs call this “mise en place” (meaning, “put in place”). We call it “being present”.

Create a little elbow room.

Packing too much food onto the cooking grates restricts your ﬂexibility. Leave at least one-quarter of the cooking grates clear, with plenty of space between each food item, in order to get your tongs in there and easily move the food around. Sometimes grilling involves split-second decisions and the ability to jockey food from one area to another. Sogive yourself enough room to operate.

Try not to peek.

The lid on your grill is for more than just keeping the rain out. Most importantly, it’s for preventing too much air from getting in, and too much heat and smoke from getting out. When the lid is closed, the cooking grates are hotter, the grilling times are faster, the smoky tastes are stronger, and the ﬂare-ups are fewer. So put a lid on it!

Only flip once.

What’s better than a juicy steak with a deep sear and plenty of beautifully caramelized bits? The key to accomplishing these results is to keep your food in place. Sometimes we have the tendency to ﬂip our food before it reaches the desirable level of color and ﬂavor. In nearly all cases, you should turn food just once. If ﬁddling with it more than that, you are probably also opening the lid too much, which causes its own set of problems. So step back and trust the grill.

Know when to tame the flame.

When grilling, sometimes the most important thing to know is when to stop. The most reliable way to test doneness of your food is to invest in an instant-read thermometer. This slim little gem will help you pinpoint that critical moment when your food is at its best.

Don’t be afraid to experiment.

Back in the 1950s, grilling meant one thing: meat (and only meat) charred over open ﬂames. The modern day backyard chef doesn’t need a kitchen in order to prepare a full course meal. Use your grill to make char-grilled appetizers, sides, and even desserts. Register your grill to receive special content that will inspire you along the way. We’d love to join you on your grilling adventures.

Tips and Hints

the entire legth of the smoker box with wood chips. The wood chips will ignite on the end of the smoker box which is positioned over the burner and slowly continue to burn inside the smoker box to provide smoke throughout the cook. As you gain experience in using your smoker, we encour age you to experiment with dierent combinations of wood chips to ﬁnd the smoke ﬂavor that best suits your taste.

Option 1: Setting up for Indirect Cooking

1) Open the gr ill lid.

2) Check that all burner control knobs are in the o position and the grill is cool . Check by pushing in and turning knobs clockwis e.

3) Remove the cooking gr ates to expose the FLAVORIZER BARS (A).

4) Open the lid of the smoker box.

5) Fill the smoker box with wood chips from end to end (B). Close the smoker box lid.

6) With the gr ill o, position the smoker box over the two r ight-hand side FLAVORIZER BA RS, near the front of the grill, making sure only the narrow end with the WEBER logo will be directly over a lit burner (C). This is the end where the wood chips ignite ﬁrst. The main body of the smoker box aligns on a FLAVORIZER BAR without a lit burner beneath it.

7) Add water to the water pan of the smoker box (D) for more ﬂ avorful smoke during the co ok.

8) Reinstall the cooking grates over the smoker box (E).

9) Ignite the grill and preheat for 10 minutes with only the main bur ners on high. Refer to "Igniting the Grill". After preheating, turn o center burner and reduce outer burners to low (F).

Smoke will start in approximately 10 minutes and last as long as 90 minutes. Do not attempt to move hot components to reﬁll the smoker with wood chips. Keep the lid of the grill closed while cooking.

Option 2: Setting up for Direct Cooking

The smoker box is positioned where the Weber logo is over the center burner during grilling, with main burners set on low (G).

Notes: For best smoking results, burners in use should be on low. Do not place the main body of the smoker box directly over a burner. This could ignite all of the wood chips at once resulting in reduced smoking times.

Always grill with the lid closed to allow the smoke to fully penetrate the food.

When you're finished smoking, turn burners off and close the grill lid until the wood chips have extinguished.

Remove smoker box from the grill if not in use.

m DANGER: Do not use any ﬂammable ﬂuid or

combustible products in the smoker to ignite the wood chips. This will cause serious bodily injury.

m WARNING: Do not remove hot components

from the grill while in use.

m WARNING: Never use wood that has been

treated or exposed to chemicals.

m Always avoid soft, resinous woods like pine,

cedar, and aspen.

Cleaning the Smoker Box

Before each use, empty the smoker of ash to allow proper air ﬂow.

Note: Smoking will leave a “smoke” residue on the surface of the smoker. This residue cannot be removed and will not affect the function of the smoker. To a lesser degree, a “smoke” residue will accumulate on the inside of your gas grill. This residue need not be removed and will not adversely affect the function of your gas grill.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Cleaning the Inside of the Grill

Over time, the per formance of your grill can diminish if it has not been maintained properly. Low temperature s, uneven heat, and food sticking to cooking grates are all signs that cleaning and maintenance are overdue. When your grill is o and cool, start by cleaning the inside, from the top down. A thorough cleaning is recommended at least twice a year. Consistent use may require quarterly cleanings .

Product Care

Cleaning the Lid

From time to time you may notice “paint-like” ﬂakes on the inside of the lid. During use, grease and smoke vapors slowly change into carbon and dep osit on the inside of your lid. These deposits will eventually peel, and looks very similar to paint. These deposits are non-toxic, but the ﬂakes could fall onto your food if you do not clean the lid regularly.

1) Brush the carbonized grease from the inside of the lid with a stainless steel bristle grill brush (A). To minimize further build-up, the inside of the lid can be wiped with a paper towel af ter grilling while the grill is still warm (nothot).

Cleaning the Cooking Grates

If you have b een cleaning your cooking grates as recommended, the debris on your grates should be minimal.

1) With grates installed, brush the debris o your cooking grate with a stainless steel bristle grill brush(B).

2) Take the grates out and set aside.

Cleaning the FLAVORIZERBARS

FLAVORIZER BARS catch drippings that smoke and sizzle, adding ﬂavor to your food. Any drippings that are not vap orized by the FLAVORIZER BA RS are funneled away from the burners. This helps prevent ﬂare- ups inside of your grill, and protects the burners from getting clogged.

1) Scrape the FLAVORIZER BARS with a plastic scraper(C).

2) If neces sary, br ush the FL AVORIZER BARS with a stainless steel bristle grill brush.

3) Remove FL AVORIZER BARS and set aside.

Cleaning the Burners

Two areas on the burners that are key to optimum performance are the ports (small raised openings running along the length of the burners) and the spider/insect screens on the ends of the burner. Keeping these areas clean is essential for safe operation.

Cleaning the Burner Ports

1) Use a clean stainless steel bristle grill brush to clean the outside of the burners by brushing across the top of the burner ports (D).

2) When cleaning the bur ners, avoid damaging the ignition electrode by carefully br ushing around it(E).

Cleaning the Spider Screens

1) Locate the ends of the burners on the underside of the control panel where they meet the valves.

2) Clean the spider/insect screens on each of the burners using a sof t bristle brush (F).

m WARNING: Turn your grill o and wait for it to

cool before thoroughly cleaning.

m WARNING: Over time, the development of

rough surfaces can form on the FLAVORIZER BARS. Wearing gloves is recommended when handling. Do not clean FLAVORIZER BARS or cooking grates in a sink, dishwasher, or selfcleaning oven.

m WARNING: When cleaning the burners, never

use a brush that has already been used to clean the cooking grates. Never put sharp objects into the burner port holes.

m CAUTION: Do not place any grill components

onto the side tables as they may scratch the paint or stainless steel surfaces.

m CAUTION: Do not use any of the following

to clean your grill: abrasive stainless steel polishes or paints, cleaners that contain acid, mineral spirits or xylene, oven cleaner, abrasive cleansers (kitchen cleansers), or abrasive cleaning pads.

Page 19

Cleaning the Heat Deflectors

Located under the burners, the heat deﬂectors distribute heat evenly throughout the cookbox while cooking. Keeping heat deﬂectors clean will enhance the cooking per formance of your grill.

1) Scrape the heat deﬂectors with a plastic scraper(G).

2) If neces sary, br ush the heat deﬂectors with a stainless steel bristle grill brush.

3) Remove heat deﬂectors and set aside.

Cleaning the Cookbox

Look inside the cookbox for any grease accumulation or leftover food particles. Excessive accumulation can cause a ﬁre.

1) Use a plastic scrap er to scrape debris o the sides and bottom of the grill into the opening in bottom of the cookbox(H). This opening leads debris into the slide-out grease tray.

Cleaning the Grease ManagementSystem

The grease management system consists of an angled slide-out grease tray and a catch pan. T hese components were designed to be easily removed, cleaned, and replaced; an essential step ever y time you prepare to grill. Instructions on inspecting the grease management system can be found in MEAL-TOMEAL MAINTENANCE.

Cleaning the Outside of theGrill

The out side of your grill may include stainless steel, porcelain-enameled, and plastic surfaces. WEBER recommends the following methods based on the surfacetype.

Cleaning Stainless Steel Surfaces

Clean stainless steel using a non-toxic, non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner or p olish designed for use on outdoor produc ts and grills. Use a microﬁber cloth to clean in the direction of the grain of the stainless steel. Donot use paper towels.

Note: Do not risk scratching your stainless ste el with abrasive pastes. Pastes do not clean or polish. They will change the color of the metal by removing the top chromium oxide ﬁlm coating.

Cleaning Painted, Porcelain-Enameled Surfaces and PlasticComponents

Clean painted, porcelain-enameled and plastic components with warm soapy water, and paper towels or cloth. After wiping down the surfaces, rinse and dr y thoroughly.

Cleaning the Outside of Grills that are in Unique Environments

If your grill is subject to a particular ly harsh environment, you will want to clean the out side more often. Acid rain, pool chemicals, and salt water can cause surface rusting to appear. Wipe down the outside of your grill with war m soapy water. Follow up with a rinse and thorough dr ying. Additionally, you may want to apply a stainless steel cleaner weekly to prevent surface rust.

The cut s, thicknesses, weight s, and grilling times above are meant to be guidelines. Factors such as altitude, wind, and outside temperature can aect cooking times. Two rules of thumb: Grill steaks, ﬁsh ﬁllets, boneless chicken pieces, and vegetables using the direct method for the time given on the chart (or to the desired doneness), turning food once halfway through gr illing time. Grill roasts , whole poultry, bone-in poultry pieces , whole ﬁsh, and thicker cuts using the indirect method for the time given on the chart (or until an instant-read thermometer registers the desired internal temperature). Cooking times for beef and lamb use the USDA’s deﬁnition of medium doneness unless otherwise noted. Before carving, let roasts, larger cuts of meat, and thick chops and steaks rest for 5 to 10 minutes af ter cooking. The internal temperature of the meat will rise by 5 to 10 degre es during this time.
