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 prosear™ 2 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 prosear™ 2 burner in 
your lynx 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 
directly 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.  
lynx prosear™ 2 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 “con-
vection” 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.
