Roasting (Indirect Method)
To reduce risk of burn injury from hot air/steam trapped inside grill, open Hood carefully when roasting on grill.
WARNING
!
Food is cooked like in an oven under lower heat and/or longer cooking times. These foods require more than 25
minutes grilling time and some are so delicate that Direct Cooking would dry them out or scorch them.
Use the Indirect Cooking Method to cook whole meats such as roasts, ribs, chickens, turkeys, and other large cuts of
meat, as well as delicate fish fillets. Place the food to bake or roast on the center of the cooking grid inside a metal
baking tray or a disposable heavy-gauge foil pan or on a roasting rack.
Preheat the grill with the Burners on “High.” Then adjust the Burners lower to the correct temperature.
Close the hood and cook “indirectly.” Monitor the temperature. If the heat gets too high, turn the Burner to the “Low”
position. Avoid lifting the Hood frequently, as heat is lost and the cooking time is extended.
Check the meat for doneness with a meat thermometer.
For longer cooking times, add water to the Roasting Pan to keep drippings from burning. The drippings can be used to
make gravies or sauces.
Emergencies
Problem
Gas leaking from
LP Gas Cylinder
Gas leaking between

Panel
Grease fire or excessive
flames above cooking surface
Flashback (Fire in or around
Venturi tubes)
Possible Cause
Mechanical failure due to rust
or mishandling
Improper installation, con-
nection not tight, failure of
seal on LP Gas Cylinder
Fire in or around Venturi tube
section of Burner
Too much grease build-up in
Burner section
Clogged or blocked Venturi
tube
Solution
Replace LP Gas Cylinder.
Remove LP Gas Cylinder. Re-install correctly and
tighten. Replace Cylinder if damaged. See
“Leak Test”
and
“Connecting Regulator to LP Gas Cylinder”
sections.
If you can safely reach the Control Panel, turn off
Control Knobs, then remove the LP Gas Cylinder. Once
fire is out and grill has cooled off, remove Burner(s) and
inspect for blockage from spider webs/insect nests or
rust. See
“How to Clean Burners”
section. Replace
any damaged parts.
Turn off Control Knobs and remove LP Gas Cylinder.
Once fire is out and grill has cooled off, clean residual
food particles and excess grease from inside firebox
area, grease cup, and other surfaces.
