Grilling
For direct grilling, it is usually easier to achieve your desired temperature by keeping the
lower vent fully open and only adjusting the top damper vent.
1. Before lighting, take out the trivet. Leave out the cooking grill at this stage.
2. When the charcoal is fully lit, taking care to avoid burns, fit the cooking grill in
place.
3. Close the hood and preheat for 10 minutes.
4. Make sure the bottom vent is fully open. Open the top damper vent and monitor the
temperature until it reaches your desired temperature.
5. Close the top damper vent half way, wait 5 minutes and check the temperature.
6. Adjust the top damper vent by either closing it more (lower temperature) or opening
it more (higher temperature).
7.
Once the desired temperature is achieved, set your food in place on the cooking
grill. You can grill extra food on the warming rack. Close the hood and start grilling.
8. Monitor the temperature during cooking and if you notice that the temperature
has moved outside your desired range, adjust the top damper vent in very small
increments, wait 1-2 minutes and re-adjust if necessary.
9. Use a meat probe thermometer to take the guesswork out of knowing when your
food is done.
