charcoal and wood flavor, you can customize your culinary experience as desired. The following
descriptions provide four of the most common ways you can cook with your Char-Griller
Grill
Cook with direct and indirect heat at medium
temperatures (300°-450°F). Utilize a two zone
set up to cook at different speeds
and temperatures.
1. Prepare up to 2 lbs (approximately 30-40
briquettes) of lit charcoal spread evenly
across HALF the charcoal grate creating 2
Cooking Zones.
2. Once the grill is at the desired temperature,
you may begin to cook. First place food over
direct heat, cooking each side as desired.
After initially cooking over direct heat, move
to the cool zone (see picture at right) to bring
your food to the desired internal temperature.
Sear
Quickly cook with direct heat at high
temperatures (450°-500°F).
1. Prepare up to 3 lbs (approximately 50-60
briquettes) of lit charcoal spread evenly
across charcoal grate.
2. Once the grill is at the desired temperature,
you may begin to cook by placing food
directly over the coals.
3. Food will cook quickly. Cook each side
3-4 minutes and then bring to desired
internal temperature.
4. NOTE: Wood chips, chunks or split logs may
be used in addition to charcoal to add smoke
flavor as desired.
