The following cuts, thicknesses, weights, and grilling times are meant to be guidelines.
Factors such as altitude, wind, and outside temperature can affect cooking times. Two
rules of thumb: Grill steaks, fish fillets, boneless chicken pieces, and vegetables using
the direct method for the time given on the chart (or to the desired doneness), turning
food once halfway through grilling time. Grill roasts, whole poultry, bone-in poultry
pieces, whole fish, and thicker cuts using the indirect method for the time given on the
chart (or until an instant-read thermometer registers the desired internal temperature).
Cooking times for beef and lamb use the USDA' s definition of medium doneness unless
otherwise noted. Before carving, let roasts, larger cuts of meat, and thick chops and
steaks rest for 5 to 10 minutes after cooking. The internal temperature of the meat will
rise by 5 to 10 degrees during this time.
