CARE & USE/INSTALLATION

PRE-HEATING

Pre-heating your grill every time you use it is extremely

important. Pre-heating allows the briquettes to properly

heat up, providing more even and more consistent cooking

results.

Pre-heat your grill by igniting all main burners, including the

Trident™ burner, and setting them to “HI”.

Then close the hood and allow the grill to heat for 10 to

15 minutes. Once you’ve reached your desired pre-heat

temperature, turn off the burners that you won’t be using to

cook your food.

TYPES OF COOKING

The main brass burners and the Trident™ burner in your

grill are capable of creating a range of heat intensities. By

varying the heat output, the number of burners used and

the position of the hood, you can create either direct or

indirect heat or a combination of both and develop a wide

variety of succulent recipes. There are two basic types of

grilling in an outdoor grill... Direct Heat and Indirect Heat

Direct Heat

Direct heat cooking occurs when foods are placed di-

rectly over the heat source. This form of heat is known as

“radiant” heat because the heat radiates directly from the

source to the food.

Direct heat is a must when you want to sear the outside of

your food to seal in ﬂavor. Trident™ Burners provide the

heat necessary to sear foods and seal in ﬂavor.

Indirect Heat

Indirect heat cooking occurs when the food is not

close to the heat source. Heat reaches the food via air

movement within the cooking area. This form of heat is

known as “convection” heat.

Indirect, or “convection” cooking is achieved by placing

the food on one side of the grill and igniting burners on the

other side. You leave the burner below the food “OFF”.

You should keep the hood closed as much as possible

during this type of cooking to maintain even heat around

the food. You regulate the heat by adjusting the burner,

using the hood thermometer to monitor the temperature.
