moisture during the cooking process.

Best practices for roasting/barbequing:
Roasting/ barbequing occurs at temperatures between 325-450 degrees F and is intended giving the meat a
nice crust and cooking the meat at a medium rate of speed for usually between 1-4 hours period of time.
(Roasts, bone in chicken, ect...). A medium amount of lit coals and an indirect cooking method is the typical
method of cooking. Caution: At higher cooking temperatures the danger for flashback is greater than at
lower temperatures. Remember the following: ALWAYS ENSURE BOTH THE TOP AND BOTTOM VENTS
ARE OPEN FULLY BEFORE OPENING THE GRILL LID. ALWAYS OPEN THE LID TO ROUGHLY
1-2" AND HOLD IT THERE FOR 5-10 SECONDS TO LET OXYGEN SLOWLY ENTER THE GRILL. THEN
COMPLETELY LIFT THE LID OPEN SLOWLY. AT ALL TIMES THE USE OF LONG HEAT RESISTANT GLOVES IS
NECESSARY FOR SAFETY.
