Main Burner Use: When searing foods, we recommend preheang the grill by operang all main burners
in the high posion with the lid closed for approximately 10 minutes. Food cooked for short periods of
me (sh, vegetables) can be grilled with the lid open. Cooking with the lid closed will ensure higher, more
even temperatures that can reduce cooking me and cook meat more evenly. Food that has a cooking
me longer than 30 minutes, such as roasts, can be cooked indirectly (with the burner lit opposite to the
food placement). When cooking very lean meats, such as chicken breasts or lean pork, the grids can be
oiled before pre-heang to reduce scking. Cooking meat with a high degree of fat content can create
are-ups. Either trim the fat or reduce temperatures to inhibit this. Should a are-up occur, move food
away from the ames and reduce the heat. Leave the lid open. See Your All Season Grill cookbook by
Napoleon for more detailed instrucons.
Rear Burner Use (If Equipped): Remove the warming rack prior to use, the extreme heat will damage the
warming rack. Cooking grids should also be removed if they interfere with the rosserie. The rear burner
is designed to be used in conjuncon with the rosserie kit available from your dealer. See the rosserie
kit assembly instrucons.
To use the counterbalance - remove the rosserie motor from the gas grill. Place the spit with meat
being cooked across the hangers inside the grill. The meat will naturally hang with the heavy side down.
Tighten the counterbalance arm and weight so the arm is facing up. Slide the counterweight in or out
to balance the load and ghten in place. Re-install the motor and begin cooking. Place a metal dish
underneath the meat to collect drippings for basng and naturally delicious gravy. Basng liquid may be
added as required. To seal in juices, rst operate rear burner on high unl brown, then reduce the heat to
thoroughly cook foods. Keep the lid closed for best results. Your roasts and fowl will brown perfectly on
the outside and stay moist and tender on the inside. For example, a 3 pound chicken on the rosserie will
be done in approximately 1½ hours on medium to high. See ‘Your all Season Grill’ cookbook by Napoleon
for more detailed instrucons.
WARNING! Barbecue sauce and salt can be corrosive and will cause rapid deterioraon of the gas
grill components unless cleaned regularly. When nished cooking disassemble rosserie components,
wash thoroughly with warm soapy water and store indoors.
Direct Cooking: Place food to be cooked on the grill directly over the heat. This method is generally used
for searing or for foods that do not require prolonged cooking mes such as hamburgers, steaks, chicken
pieces, or vegetables. The food is rst seared to trap-in the juices and avor, and then the temperature is
lowered to nish cooking the food to your preference.
Indirect Cooking: With one or more burners operang, place food to be cooked on the grill over a burner
that is not operang. The heat circulates around the food, cooking slowly and evenly. Cooking with this
method is much the same as cooking in your oven and is generally used for larger cuts of meats such
as roasts, chickens or turkeys, but can also be used for cooking foods that are prone to are-ups or for
smoking foods. Lower temperatures and slower cooking mes result in tender foods.
Smoker Burner: The smoker burner is designed to be used in conjuncon with the smoker tray. Follow
the smoker burner lighng instrucons and operate the smoker burner on high for 10 minutes, reducing
heat as required.
Open the smoker drawer and place a small amount of wood chips into the solid poron of the smoker tray.
As it is very easy to “over smoke” use small amounts on your rst few aempts. To get a smoke avour
all that is required is a wisp of smoke, smoke billowing out of the unit is not desired and will oen leave
a sooty deposit on the food which doesn’t taste good. Soaking wood before use will slow burning and
increase smoke avour.
Wood for smoking comes in various forms, chunks, chips, dust and pellets, it also comes in many variees
(avours) from apple to walnut, each transming a dierent taste. Use only wood that you know has not
been treated, or beer sll buy from your authorized Napoleon dealer.
