GENERAL SAFETY

SAFETY SYMBOLS will alert you to important SAFETY information.

Signal words DANGER,
WARNING, or CAUTION will be used with the SAFETY SYMBOL.
DANGER will identify the most serious hazard.
Please carefully read all safety information contained in this Owner’s Guide.

DANGER

• This grill is designed for outdoor use only. If used indoors, toxic fumes will accumulate and cause serious bodily injury or death.

• Do not add charcoal starter fluid or charcoal impregnated with charcoal starter fluid to hot or warm charcoal.

• Do not use gasoline, alcohol, or other highly volatile fluids to ignite charcoal. If using charcoal starter fluid, remove any fluid that may have drained through the bottom vents before lighting the charcoal.

• Do not leave infants, children, or pets unattended near a hot grill.

• Do not attempt to move a hot grill.

• Do not use grill within five feet of any combustible material. Combustible materials include, but are not limited to wood or treated wood decks, patios or porches.

• Do not use grill unless all parts are in place.
  Make sure the ash catcher is properly attached to the legs underneath the bowl of the grill.

• Do not remove ashes until all charcoal is completely burned out and fully extinguished.

• Do not wear clothing with loose flowing sleeves while lighting or using the grill.

• Do not use grill in high winds.

GENERAL SAFETY

WARNING

• Keep the grill in a level position at all times.

• Remove the lid from the grill while lighting and getting the charcoal started.

• Always put charcoal on top of the charcoal grate and not directly into the bottom of the bowl.

• Never touch the cooking or charcoal grate or the grill to see if they are hot.

• Use barbecue mitts or hot pads to protect hands while cooking or adjusting the vents.

• Use proper barbecuing tools with long, heat-resistant handles.

• Use the hook on the inside of the lid to hang the lid on the side of the bowl of the grill. Avoid placing a hot lid on carpet or grass. Do not hang the lid on the bowl handle.

• To extinguish the coals, place the lid on the bowl and close all of the vents (dampers).
  Make sure that the vents/dampers on the lid and the bowl are completely closed. Do not use water because it will damage the porcelain finish.

• To control flare-ups, place the lid on thegrill. Do not use water.

• Handle and store hot electric starters carefully.

• Keep electrical cords away from the hot surfaces of the grill.

CAUTION

• Lining the bowl with aluminum foil will obstruct the air flow. Instead, use a drip pan to catch drippings from meat when cooking by the Indirect Method.
• Using sharp objects to clean the cooking grate or remove ashes will damage the finish.
• Using abrasive cleaners on the cooking grate or the grill itself will damage the finish.

FAILURE TO HEED THESE DANGER, WARNING, AND CAUTION STATEMENTS MAY CAUSE SERIOUS BODILY INJURY OR DEATH, OR A FIRE OR EXPLOSION RESULTING IN DAMAGE TO PROPERTY.

HELPFUL HINTS

TO START A CHARCOAL grill

• Remove the lid and open all air vents before building the fire. NOTE: For proper airflow, remove accumulated ashes from the bottom of the grill if present (only after the coals are fully extinguished). Charcoal requires oxygen to burn, so be sure nothing clogs the vents.
• Mound the briquets into a pyramid-shaped pile or pile the charcoal into a Weber® RapidFire® chimney starter.
• Place either Weber® FireStartersTM lighter cubes (they are non-toxic, odorless and tasteless) or crumpled newspaper under the pile of briquets and light. NOTE: We purposely left out instructions for using lighter fluid. That’s because we think the choices previously outlined are superior.
• Lighter fluid is messy and can impart a chemical taste to your food unless it is thoroughly burned off. If you choose to use lighter fluid, follow the manufacturer’s instructions and NEVER add lighter fluid to a burning fire.
• When coals are covered with a light grey ash (usually 25 to 30 minutes), arrange the coals with long-handled tongs according to the cooking method you are going to use.
• For additional smoke flavor, consider adding hardwood chips or chunks (soaked in water for at least 30 minutes and drained) or moistened fresh herbs such as rosemary, thyme, or bay leaves. Place the wet wood or herbs directly on the coals just before you begin cooking.
• When removing the grill lid during cooking, lift to the side, rather than straight up. Lifting straight up may create suction, drawing ashes up onto your food.

EASY STEPS TO GRILLING GREATNESS
Follow these tips and you won’t go wrong. And neither will your dinner.

• Direct, Indirect, or a little of both? Read the recipe and look for the instructions for setting up your grill. There are two methods of cooking in a Weber® grill—Direct and Indirect. See the following pages for specific instructions.

• Don’t try to save time by placing food on a grill that’s not quite ready. Let charcoal burn until it has a light grey ash coating (keep the vents open so the fire does not go out).

• Use a spatula and tongs but leave the fork.
  You’ve probably seen people poking their meat with one, but it causes juices and flavor to escape and that can dry out your food.

• Make sure the food fits on the grill with the lid down. At least 1 inch clearance between the food and the lid is ideal.

• Resist the urge to open the lid to check on your dinner every couple of minutes. Every time you lift the lid heat escapes, which means it will take longer to get dinner on the table.

• Unless the recipe calls for it, turn your food over only once.

• You will control flare-ups, reduce cooking time, and get altogether better results if you grill with the lid down.

• Resist the urge to use a spatula to press down on foods such as burgers. You’ll squeeze out all that wonderful flavor.

• A light coating of oil will help brown your food evenly and keep it from sticking to the cooking grate. Always brush or spray oil on your food, not the cooking grate.

FOOD SAFETY TIPS

• Wash your hands thoroughly with hot, soapy water before starting any meal preparation and after handling fresh meat, fish, and poultry.
• Do not defrost meat, fish, or poultry at room temperature. Defrost in the refrigerator.
• Never place cooked food on the same plate the raw food was on.
• Wash all plates and cooking utensils which have come into contact with raw meats or fish with hot, soapy water and rinse.

USE OF WEBER RECIPES

• All recipes in this book have been developed on the basis of 70˚F/21˚C weather and little or no wind. Therefore, if you are cooking on a cold and/or windy day or at high altitudes, it may be necessary to allow more time.
• The cooking times in this book should be used as guidelines, not exact cooking times, as much depends upon the size and thickness of the food.

EASY Grill CARE
Add years to the life of your Weber® grill by giving it a thorough cleaning once a year.

IT’S EASY TO DO:

• Make sure the grill is cool and coals are totally extinguished.
• Remove the cooking and charcoal grates.
• Remove ashes.
• Wash your grill with a mild detergent and water. Rinse well with clear water and wipe dry.
• It is not necessary to wash the cooking grate after each use. Simply loosen residue with a brass bristle grill brush or crumpled aluminium foil, then wipe off with paper towels.

CHARCOAL GRILL COOKING

DIRECT METHOD
The Direct Method means that the food is cooked directly over prepared coals. For even cooking, food should be turned once, halfway through the grilling time. Use the Direct Method for foods that take less than 25 minutes to cook: steaks, chops, kabobs, vegetables, and the like.

1. Open all vents.
2. Heap the recommended amount of charcoal briquets in the center of the charcoal grate (refer to the chart below).
3. Ignite the charcoal briquets. Leave the lid off until the briquets have a light coating of grey ash, about 25 to 30 minutes.
4. Spread prepared briquets evenly across the charcoal grate.
5. Position the cooking grate over the coals.
6. Place food on the cooking grate.
7. Place the lid on the grill. Consult your recipe for recommended cooking times.

GRILLING GUIDE

The following cuts, thicknesses, weights, and grilling times are meant to be guidelines rather than hard and fast rules. Cooking times are affected by such factors as altitude, wind, outside temperature, and desired doneness. 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 once halfway through grilling time. Grill roasts, whole poultry, bonein poultry pieces, whole fish, and thicker cuts using the Indirect Method for the time given on the chart or until an instant-read thermometer reaches the desired internal temperature. Cooking times for beef and lamb are for the USDA’s definition of medium doneness unless otherwise noted. Let roasts, larger cuts of meat, and thick chops and steaks rest for 5 to 10 minutes before carving. The internal temperature of the meat will rise by 5 to 10 degrees during this time.
