The Grill Stainless Steel Outdoor Cooking Center General information The grill section consists of a large cast iron burner or burners (depending on model), a series of stainless steel heat baffles (on some models), a bed of natural lava rocks or ceramic briquettes, or Gourmet Radiant™ Trays (depending on model) and a porcelain enameled heat retaining grill rack(s). Each burner is rated at 15,000 BTU for 24″models. Each burner is rated at 20,000 BTU for 27″, 36″ and 48″ models.
The Grill Stainless Steel Outdoor Cooking Center Lava rock (on some models) The grill is supplied with natural lava rock (on some models). Because of the porosity of natural lava rock it is superior in its ability to capture heat as it rises from the grill burners. It also possesses the thermal mass needed for professional results. Flare-ups are controlled because the lava radiant keeps grease from getting to the flames and igniting.
To light the grill Always keep your face and body as far away from the grill as possible when lighting. Open the lid, push and turn the grill control knob to the LITE position and immediately turn the rotary igniter knob of the spark igniter next to the grill control knob.

Using the grill Grilling requires high heat for searing and proper browning. Most foods are cooked at the HI heat setting for the entire cooking time. However, when grilling large pieces of meat or poultry, it may be necessary to turn the heat to a lower setting after the initial browning. This cooks the food through without burning the outside. Foods cooked for a long time or basted with a sugary marinade may need a lower heat setting near the end of the cooking time. Grilling hints 1.
