Tips for Better Cookouts and Longer Grill Life
1. To reduce flare-up keep grill clean, use lean cuts of meat (or trim fat) and avoid cooking on
very high temperatures.
2. Place delicate foods like fish and vegetables in aluminum foil pouches and indirect cook or
place on upper cooking levels (warming rack).
3. To avoid losing natural juices, use long handled tongs or spatulas instead of forks and turn
foods over just once during cooking.
4. When in-direct cooking roasts and larger cuts of meat, place meat onto a roasting rack
inside a heavy gauge metal pan. Place pan over the un-lit coals.
5. Try water pans to reduce flare-ups and cook juicer meats. Before starting coals remove
cooking grids and place a heavy duty shallow pan directly on charcoal grid. Fill half way
with water, fruit juices or other flavored liquids. Place hot coals around grid, replace cooking
grids and position food over the loaded pan.
6. Enhance food flavors by using wood chips in smoker boxes or aluminum foil pouches.
Follow the wood manufacturer's instructions.

7. Rotisseries, grill baskets, vertical poultry holders and other accessories can enhance your
experiences, reduce cooking times and aid in clean-up.
8. Clean cooking grids and racks after every use with a quality grill bush designed for your grid
material. Wear protective gloves and gently remove the build-up while grids are hot.

oil, clean out all ashes, wipe outside surfaces with a suitable kitchen cleaner and protect
surfaces with a quality cover that is properly fits your grill.
