WEBER GRILLING BASICS:
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
All good cooks have a few secrets they like
to keep to themselves. Not us—we like to
share them! We think the keys to our success
should be yours as well. Here’s the inside
scoop to help you get the best results:

should be yours as well. Here’s the inside
scoop to help you get the best results:
To start your gas grill:
Open the lid. Check
that all burner control knobs are turned to
OFF and that your fuel tank is not empty.
Turn the gas supply on at the source.
Light the grill according to the directions in
the owner’s manual. Close the lid and preheat
the grill until the thermometer reaches
OFF and that your fuel tank is not empty.

Light the grill according to the directions in

the grill until the thermometer reaches
500°F to 550°F. This will take about 10
minutes. To grill, adjust burner controls as the

Grilling temperatures:
At the top of each
recipe, we indicate the requisite cooking
method (direct or indirect) and temperature
level (high, medium, or low). Note that a grill
set up for indirect cooking can accommodate
both methods (just move the food directly
over the fire for direct cooking). Where
searing is particularly important to the texture
or flavor, we note that as well (e.g., Sear:
High, Cook: Indirect Medium).

Keep the lid down!
Without a doubt, the most
important grilling rule. Lifting the lid allows
heat to escape, increasing your grilling time.
A closed lid also reduces the chance of flare-
ups (and closing the lid extinguishes them
quickly). Open the grill only to turn foods as
indicated in the recipes. More poking and
flipping won’t make it taste better, trust us.

GRILLING & FOOD SAFETY

Trim excess fat from steaks, chops and
roasts, leaving no more than a scant 1⁄4
inch of fat. Less fat is a virtual guarantee
against unwanted flare-ups.
