SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

I F YOU SMELL GAS: 1. Shut off gas to the appliance. 2. Extinguish any open flames. 3. Open lid. 4. I f odor continues, immediately call your gas supplier.
CALI FORNI A PROPOSI TI ON 65 ­WARNI NG The burning of gas cooking fuel generates toxic byproducts, which are on the list of substances that are known by the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm. California law requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances. To minimize exposure to these substances, always operate this unit according to this manual, ensuring you provide good ventilation when cooking with gas. This warning is issued pursuant to California Health & Safety Code Sec. 25249.6
SAFETY PRACTI CES TO AVOI D PERSONAL I NJURY When properly cared for, your grill will give safe, reliable service for many years. However, extreme care must be used since the grill produces intense heat, which can increase accident potential. When using this appliance, basic safety practices must be followed, including the following:
Read this Manual carefully and completely before using your grill to reduce the risk of fire, burn hazard or other injury.
Begin by ensuring proper assembly. Do not repair or replace any part of the grill unless specifically recommended in this manual. All other service should be referred to a qualified technician. For personal safety, wear proper apparel. Loose fitting garments or sleeves should never be worn while using this appliance. Some synthetic fabrics are highly flammable and should not be worn while cooking. Never let clothing, pot holders or other flammable materials come in contact with or too close to any grate, burner or hot surface until it has cooled. Fabric may ignite and result in personal injury.
Use only dry potholders: moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may cause burns from steam. Do not use a towel or bulky cloth in place of potholders. Do not let potholders touch hot portions of the grilling grids. Only certain types of glass, heatproof glass ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for grill use. Use of these types of materials may break with sudden temperature changes.
Do not use aluminum foil to line the grilling grids or grill bottom. This can severely upset combustion airflow or trap excessive heat in the control area. The result of this can be melted knobs, igniters and increased chance of personal injury.

I nsect Warning. Spiders and insects can nest in the burner of this and any other grill, and cause the gas to flow from the front of the burner. This is a very dangerous condition, which can cause a fire to occur behind the valve assembly, thereby damaging the grill and making it unsafe to operate.
Do not operate the grill under unprotected combustible construction. Use only in well ventilated areas. Do not use in buildings, garages, sheds, breezeways or any enclosed areas. Keep the area surrounding the grill free from combustible materials, trash, or combustible fluids and vapors such as gasoline or charcoal lighter fluid. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
I f the unit is stored indoors ensure that it is cool. The propane cylinder must be unhooked and stored outside in a well- ventilated area, out of reach of children. Never use the grill in windy conditions. I f located in a consistently windy area (oceanfront, mountaintop, etc.) a windbreak will be required. Always adhere to the specified clearance.
LOCATI ON
When determining a suitable location, take into account concerns such as exposure to wind, and proximity to traffic paths. Locate the grill only in a well-ventilated area. Never locate the grill in a building, garage, breezeway, shed or other such enclosed areas with out an approved ventilation system. During heavy use, the grill will produce a lot of smoke. Grill should be placed on a sturdy, level surface.
CLEARANCE

To Non-Combustible Construction A minimum of 6″ clearance from the back of the grill to non-combustible construction is required.
To Combustible Construction A minimum clearance of 30″ betw een the grill and any combustible materials is required. This includes above, below , and side of the grill as all surfaces produce heat.

Below instructions are for a LEGACY grill on a Portable Cart. are installing in a masonry application, skip to step # 12.

I f you

I f your grill has an I nfra-Broil Rear Burner, see page 14 for use and care instructions. I f you purchased an optional Side Burner Kit, see page 14 for installation and use instructions.

Cut bands off of outer cartons of the grill head and also the cart. With two people lift the outer carton off the pallets.

Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where the grill is being used. Never allow them to sit, stand or play on or around the grill at any time. Do not store items of interest to children around or below the grill.

Do not heat unopened food containers as a build-up of pressure may

cause the container to burst.

Use a covered hand when opening

the grill lid. Never lean over an open grill. When lighting a burner,

always pay close attention to what you are doing. Be certain you are

depressing the igniter button. When using the grill: do not touch

the grilling grids, burner, casing or immediate surrounding area as

these areas become extremely hot and could cause burns.

For proper lighting and performance of the burner, keep the ports clean. The burner will only operate in one position and must be mounted correctly for safe operation. Clean the grill with caution. Avoid steam burns; do not use a wet sponge or cloth to clean the grill while it is hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes or can ignite if applied to a hot surface.

LI GHTI NG YOUR GRI LL

ALWAYS OPEN THE LI D COMPLETELY BEFORE LI GHTI NG THE BURNER. This is to avoid trapping gas fumes, which could explode. Do not stand with your head over the grill when lighting the burner.

·

Open the lid. Examine the interior to be sure it appears

normal.

·

Be sure all control knobs are in the OFF position. Any control

knob may be used when lighting your PGS gas grill.

·

Turn gas ON at tank or supply.

·

Turn any lower burner knob to Medium and gently push the

black button on control panel ignitor module. You should

hear the ignitor clicking and one of the burners should be lit

within four seconds. Turn the other control knob(s) on HI

and the other burner(s) will cross light automatically.

·

Visually verify that burner lights and the flame are acceptable.

Close the grill top and let the ceramic rocks get hot.

Pre-heat the grill on HI with the lid down for f ive to seven

minutes. This will ensure even heat and allow cooking at

MEDI UM, for the most part.

WE STRONGLY SUGGEST OBSERVI NG GRI LL FOR ONE MI NUTE

Manual Lighting of Grill
NOTE: I f grill is hot, manual lighting tube may not w ork. Allow grill to fully cool before relighting.
ELECTRODE ADJUSTMENT
The electrode and ground wire is f ixed and checked at the factory for optimum spark. The tip from the electrode is 1/ 8″ away from the grounding wire. Spark may get “hotter” by SLI GHTLY increasing or decreasing the distance between these two wires. Please note, you should not increase the distance between these two wires to more that 3/ 8″. I n the event that this spacing cannot be corrected or the ceramic insulator is cracked and needs replacement, the entire assembly is easily changed by removing the grease tray, remove the screw and nut holding assembly, unplugging from ignition module and reinstalling new.

Always keep your face and body as far away from the grill as possible when lighting.

I f the burner does not light in 4 seconds, turn knob to “OFF” and wait 5 minutes before trying again, to allow any accumulated gas to dissipate. I f the burner will not light after several attempts, then it can be match lit.
I F THE BURNER FAI LS TO LI GHT
I mmediately turn controls OFF to prevent gas build-up. Wait f ive minutes for gas to clear and try the above procedure again. I f the burner does not light with the electronic ignition, light the burner with a match or other hand held ignitor. DO NOT TOSS A LI T MATCH I NTO THE UNI T AND TURN THE GAS ON!
At the right hand side of the lower grill housing; near the top of the cooking grid, there is a match lighting port. Raise the grill lid. Light a match (or other ignitor) and turn the LOWER BURNER RI GHT hand control knob to HI . Hold the lit match (or ignitor) just above the ignition port and light the grill, you should hear the grill ignite within f ive seconds. I F THE GRI LL STI LL FAI LS TO LI GHT, CHECK THE GAS SUPPLY. YOU COULD BE OUT OF LP GAS OR THE MAI N GAS SUPPLY FOR NATURAL GAS MAY HAVE BEEN TURNED OFF.

NOTE GAP ON ELECTRODE AND GROUND WI RE
GREASE TRAY LI NI NG & CLEAN OUT
Before using grill, we suggest you LI NE YOUR GREASE TRAY WI TH HEAVY- DUTY ALUMI NUM FOI L. We also recommend periodic inspection and clean out of the grease tray provided with your PGS gas grill. You will f ind this very easy. The foil should be replaced at least every ten grill uses or more often if you are cooking fatty meats.
I f you have left your grill out in rain w ithout covering, grease tray may accumulate w ater. Please empty prior to use.
Please note that cooking especially juicy meats may require replacement of foil more often. Regular replacement will add life to grease tray. Foil should be cool to the touch before replacement.
PERI ODI C CLEANI NG
Knowing how to remove and replace the burner allows you to easily and thoroughly clean your grill. Even though “Burning Off ” the grill after every cookout will keep it ready for use, once a year you should perform basic maintenance to keep it in top operating condition.
BE SURE THAT YOUR GAS SUPPLY I S OFF AND THAT YOUR FEEDLI NE I S BLED OF ANY GAS.

Remove your burner assembly by f irst removing cooking grids and then rock grates with rock on them, then gently pull up on the back of the burner assembly.

Remove the burner/ venturi assembly; cover the valve orif ices with a small piece of aluminum foil to keep out dirt. Brush both sides and bottom of the inside of the burner with a stiff wire brush. Any clogged flame holes may be opened using a thin wire. Use a bottlebrush, pipe cleaner or long flexible wire to clean out the venturis.

(See Flashback Section). Since the grill housing is heavy rust-free stainless steel, you are only trying to remove built up grease and debris. DO NOT BEND OR DAMAGE THE I GNI TI ON PROBE.
After cleaning burner assembly and the lower housing of grill, reinstall burner. TURN YOUR GAS SUPPLY (LP OR NAT) ON AND TEST ALL FI TTI NGS FOR LEAKS. BEFORE ATTEMPTI NG TO LI GHT GRI LL, BE CERTAI N BOTH VALVES ARE I N THE OFF POSI TI ON. TURN GAS SUPPLY ON (leaving both control knobs to the “OFF” position). CHECK ALL CONNECTI ONS WI TH A SOLUTI ON OF 50% LI QUI D SOAP, 50% WATER. SOLUTI ON CAN BE SPRAYED ON WI TH A SPRAY BOTTLE OR PAI NTED ON ALL CONNECTI ONS WI TH A BRUSH. I F
BUBBLES APPEAR, TURN OFF GAS, TI GHTEN FI TTI NGS AND TRY AGAI N.
We also recommend keeping your grill covered at all times w hen not is use. For cleaning all stainless steel surfaces, use a good grade of stainless cleaner such as our PGS “SSC”(spray Stainless Steel Cleaner) or our SS Wipes (towelettes with cleaner on them).
To maintain cooking grids, we recommend brushing with a grill cleaning brass brush after grill has completely cooled. A light vegetable oil on grids just before cooking will prevent food from sticking to the surface. NEVER PLACE COOKI NG GRI DS I N A SELF-CLEANI NG OVEN. I f grids are very dirty, you may want to place them in a plastic bag with one cup of ammonia in it, place in sunshine for a day, thoroughly rinse and put back in grill. Be sure to oil before using.
FLASHBACK
I n many areas, spiders or small insects have been found to create “flashback” problems. The spiders spin webs and/ or insects build nests in the grill’s venturi tube(s). The web and/ or nests can lead to gas flow obstruction, which can damage your grill as it results in a “flashback” (a f ire in the venturi tube(s). See illustration below. The grill may still light, but the obstruction does not allow full gas flow
to the burner. Therefore, some gas will back up and escape at the venturi air shutter. This will ignite, causing flashback, which could also damage your grill (see illustration). To remove spider webs and/ or other obstructions, you must remove the burner and clean out the venturi with a long narrow bot t lebr ush.

BE CERTAI N THAT THE BURNER VENTURI ‘S ARE ENGAGED ON VALVES AT LEAST 1/ 4″.
I f you live in an area where spiders are plentiful, you should make it a point to clean the venturis often. You may want to spray around the bottom of your cart or masonry enclosure with an insect repellent on a regular basis. You may also put MOTH BALLS in the bottom of your cart or masonry enclosure. PLEASE BE CERTAI N TO KEEP THEM AWAY FROM ANI MALS AND CHI LDREN.

BEFORE LI GHTI NG YOUR GRI LL:
TURN YOUR GAS SUPPLY ( LP OR NAT) ON AND TEST ALL FI TTI NGS FOR LEAKS. BEFORE ATTEMPTI NG TO LI GHT GRI LL, BE CERTAI N BOTH VALVES ARE I N THE OFF POSI TI ON. TURN GAS SUPPLY ON ( leaving both control knobs to the “OFF” position) AND CHECK ALL CONNECTI ONS WI TH A SOLUTI ON OF 50% LI QUI D SOAP, 50% WATER. SOLUTI ON CAN BE SPRAYED ON WI TH A SPRAY BOTTLE OR PAI NTED ON ALL CONNECTI ONS WI TH A BRUSH. I F BUBBLES APPEAR, TURN OFF GAS, TI GHTEN FI TTI NGS AND TRY AGAI N.
NOTE: Replace battery w hen sparks noticeably slow dow n or every six months, w hichever is first. I f you are not going to use your grill for 30 days or more, remove battery.

FLARE- UPS

When you cook fatty foods over an open flame, you can expect

flare-ups. Natural juices falling on the hot briquettes result in flame

and smoke that give foods cooked on your grill that delicious outdoor

flavor and appearance. Expect and encourage a MODERATE

amount of flare-up.

We suggest that you trim off excess fat

before cooking. Excessive flare-ups occur when cooking extra fatty

foods, or if cooking temperatures are too high. To control flare-ups:

¾ Turn your control knob(s) to a lower heat setting. ¾ Move the meat to another part of the grill, if possible. With
multiple burners, you can cook on one side and move food, as
necessary to the unlighted side or lower heat setting. ¾ Cook with the lid open to reduce heat inside of grill head.
Periodically flip rock so that it can self clean. ¾ I f you need to immediately control any excessive flare-up, spray
the flame with water or throw a small amount of baking soda
directly on briquettes (avoid baking soda on food).

Spider webs inside venturi
THI S SHOULD BE DONE ROUTI NELY AFTER THE GRI LL HAS SET I DLE FOR EXTENDED PERI ODS. Your PGS grill has f ine mesh brass screening placed inside the burner venturis to minimize this problem. Please DO NOT damage or remove these screens when you clean your burners.
BE CERTAI N THAT YOUR GAS SUPPLY I S OFF AND YOUR GAS FEED LI NE HAS BEEN BLED OF ANY FUEL. REMOVE BURNER AS DESCRI BED I N THE PERI ODI C CLEANI NG SECTI ON. CLEAN OUT THE VETURI WI TH A VENTURI CLEANI NG BRUSH, PI PE CLEANERS, OR OTHER SI MI LAR I TEM.

GAS GRI LL CONVERSI ON
We strongly recommend having your gas grill converted by a servicing dealer, your local gas utility or other trained personnel. PLEASE NOTE, I MPROPER ORI FI CE SI ZE COULD RESULT I N EI THER I NSUFFI CI ENT OR EXCESS GAS GOI NG TO BURNER, AND MAY POSE A SAFETY RI SK.
TROUBLESHOOTI NG
SPI DER AND I NSECT WARNI NG Spiders and insects can nest in the burners of this or any other grill, and cause the gas to flow from the front of the burner. This is a very dangerous condition, which can cause a fire to occur behind the valve panel, thereby damaging the grill and making it unsafe to operate.
WHEN TO LOOK FOR SPI DERS
You should inspect the burners at least twice a year or immediately if any of the following conditions occur:
13

1. The smell of gas in conjunction with the burner flames appearing Yellow . 2. When you light the grill, sound is significantly different than normal. 3. The Grill does not reach temperature. 4. The Grill heats unevenly. 5. The burners make popping noises.

4. Your PGS Grill has a directional polished grain, any cleaning with abrasives should be carried out along this grain and not across it
5. I f required, dry the Grill after use with a soft dry cloth or towel.
I f the preceding guidelines are adhered to, your PGS Stainless Steel Grill should offer excellent life and should live up to its reputation of being “stainless”. Neglect of this practice, however, can lead to deterioration of the surface and, in some extreme cases, corrosion of the steel itself. The two most common types of corrosion that may be encountered, particularly on stainless steel, are rust marks and pitting of the surface.

BEFORE CALLI NG FOR SERVI CE/ TROUBLESHOOTI NG CHECKLI ST
Grill w on’t light w hen the igniter button is depressed.
Replace Battery Ensure electrode is attached to igniter module and also to the end of the electrode behind the burners. DO NOT TURN THE CONTROL VALVE “ON” AT THI S STAGE. Depress the igniter button and watch the igniter tip. You should see a spark jump from the tip of the igniter when the button is pressed. I f there is no spark, clean the igniter tip and free from debris. Readjust for proper gap.
I f there is a spark, is there gas supplied to the unit and is the link purged of air? Can you match light the burner? Check the orifice for blockage
Burner flame is yellow or orange, or is there the odor of gas. Turn the burner off Check the burner inlet for obstructions (spiders, etc). Adjust the air shutter rings to allow more or less gas found at the end of the burner venturi. I s the grill in a dusty area?
Low heat – w ith the control knob set to the “HI ” position. Does the orifice or burner need cleaning? I s the gas supply, or gas pressure low? I s the grill being preheated for 3 minutes? I s there L.P. gas in the tank?
CARE OF STAI NLESS STEEL
Stainless Steel is widely used for catering and residential kitchen equipment because of its strength, its ability to resist corrosion and its ease of cleaning. I n fact, stainless steel ranks alongside glass and new china in terms of “ease of cleaning” and in percentage removal of bacteria during washing up. As a result of these virtues, the metal is often taken for granted and it is assumed that no problems will arise during its usage. However, some care is required to ensure that the stainless steel can live up to this reputation.
DAY-TO-DAY CARE To maintain the original appearance of your PGS, a regular cleaning routine should be carried out using the following guidelines:

RUST MARKS When this type of staining occurs it is unlikely that rusting of the stainless steel itself causes the marks. Similar marks can be found with both porcelain and plastic sinks. The rust marks are more likely to be the result of small particles of “ordinary “steel which have become attached to the surface; these have subsequently rusted in the damp environment. The most common source of such particles is from “wire-wool” scouring pads, but contamination may also occur from carbon steel utensils and cast iron water supply pipes.
These brown marks are only superficial stains, which will not harm the Grill; they should be removable using a soft damp cloth and a quality stainless cleaner. Occasionally, it may be necessary to resort to a proprietary stainless steel cleanser, to return the surface of the Grill to its original condition. To avoid re-occurrence of any “rust-staining” it is essential that the source of the contamination be elim inat ed.
PI TTI NG Another form of corrosion, which occasionally occurs in stainless steel, is pitting of the surface. The reason for this corrosive attack can usually be attributed to certain household products. for example:
Bleaches: Most common domestic bleaches & sterilizing solutions contain chlorine in the form of sodium hypochlorite. I f used in concentrated form, bleaches can attack the stainless steel, causing pitting of the surface. They should always be used to the strengths prescribed by the manufacturer and should be thoroughly rinsed off with clean water immediately after use.
Food st u f f s; I n general stainless steel is fully resistant to all foodstuffs in common use. Only in isolated cases, such as when concentrated salt and vinegar mixtures are allowed to remain in contact with the steel for along period, can any surface marking result.
COOKI NG GRI DS Routine cleaning of the grill grids is best accomplished by scrubbing the grids with a brass or stainless steel brush immediately before and after cooking, while the grill is hot. Wear a barbeque mitt to protect your hand from the heat while cleaning. When needed, remove the grids from the grill and scrub with a soap solution or oven cleaner. Rinse thoroughly, and allow the grids to dry completely before reinstalling onto grill.

1. After use, wipe the Grill with a soft, damp, soapy cloth and rinse with clean water, preferably warm/ hot water. This should remove most substances encountered during the grilling process.
2. For more tenacious deposits, including oil, grease and water-borne deposits, PGS has a wonderful spray cleaner and also cleaning “wipes”. Please see your local dealer.
3. Harsh abrasives and scouring materials should not be used for cleaning stainless steel as they will leave scratch marks in the surface and damage the appearance of the Grill. Likewise do not use wire brushes, scrapers or contaminated scouring pads.

MASONRY ENCLOSED GRI LL
PGS grills are easily installed in Masonry enclosures. No additional supports “frames” are necessary. We have included a natural gas regulator set at 5 1/ 2″ w.c. which must be installed for proper grill performance. Please have masonry contractor examine grill before building enclosure to ensure proper clearance for the natural gas regulator and gas connection from building material. A “carve out” of the masonry material may be necessary to accommodate regulator combination shown on page 10.

PACI FI C GAS SPECI ALTI ES COOKI NG TI PS AND TEMPATURE GUI DE
Cooking outdoors has truly come of age in America. What was once a frustrating experience, pitting the weekend chef against a raging charcoal inferno has evolved into an enjoyable culinary experience. Outdoor cooking has no equal in terms of flexibility, flavor, creativity or exciting presentations. “Cooking with gas” makes your outdoor cooking easier and more fun than ever! Unlike cooking with charcoal, YOU control the process rather than the process controlling YOU. Your PGS Legacy Gas grill has modern, safe, and convenient continuous spark ignition for safe lighting. Our “Performance Grilling System” has been designed to give you excellent cooking results with a minimum of hassle. You can cook outdoors year ’round!
Clean up is a snap with your grill. No charcoal mess, ashes, or bothersome clean-up procedures! Since you’ll be cooking outdoors, you will save energy by keeping the heat outdoors. After only a short time you will be able to cook all parts of your meal outdoors on the grill.
SOME BASI CS What makes outdoor barbecuing truly unique is the cook! Your PGS grill will provide you with control and flexibility beyond your expectations. There are a few basics that will help you maximize the design features of your grill. The truly masterful outdoor chef is one that masters the art of heat control. The outdoor temperature, wind conditions, gas pressure, location, and other factors all play a part in the outdoor cooking experience. On cold, windy days the heat setting specif ied in our recipes might be a bit low. Just turn your heat controls to a slightly higher setting to compensate. The opposite will hold true in warmer climates or on windless days. Your own personal tastes in terms of “doneness” will also allow you to make adjustments in the cooking process.
HOW ABOUT THE FUEL SOURCE? Your PGS outdoor gas grill operates equally well on either propane or natural gas fuel sources. I f you have any questions about your fuel source please call your local LP or natural gas utility company BEFORE operating your appliance. Our assembly instructions also discuss the differences between the two gases. Both sources of fuel are environmentally positive, safe, convenient, clean burning, and eff icient.
ADJUSTI NG THE FLAME Every PGS grill is factory set and pre-checked to operate eff iciently at sea level. I f you live in a high altitude area you might have to adjust your grill slightly. Perhaps the most frustrating experience is to over cook your meat, poultry, f ish, or vegetables because of excess heat. Only experience and getting to learn to use your grill will eliminate this from happening. Let’s discuss the various heat set t ings.
The “HI ” Setting Pre-heat the ceramic briquettes and cooking grids in your grill. This setting may also be used for quick searing of meats. The “HI ”

setting should also be used for about ten minutes after using the grill to self-clean the cooking grids and ceramic briquettes. Your PGS grill has been designed to heat quickly using minimal amounts of fuel. Cooking on HI with the lid closed is not recommended unless you want to cook very quickly for only a short time. With the lid closed, cooking temperatures will exceed 700 degrees F… that’s HOT!
The “MEDI UM ” Setting The medium setting between “HI ” and “LO” can be used for most meals including steaks, chops, burgers, f ish, etc. The medium setting may also be used to sear foods that have been cooked initially on the “LO” setting. Cooking with the lid open or closed is a matter of personal preference and will often be dictated by wind conditions on your patio. Cooking with the lid closed will create internal casting cooking temperatures of approximately 550 to 600 degrees Fahrenheit. Experiment with cooking with the lid open or closed and you’ll quickly choose a preference. Half the fun of outdoor cooking is the experimentation. The other half will be the great cooking results you will get time and time again!
The “LO” Setting Your PGS has an “inf inite” heat control which allows you to control the heat output on one or both burners on “HI “, “LO” or medium or anywhere in between. The “LO” setting is the preferred setting for most foods. Even thicker cuts of steak which have been seared on both sides on the “HI ” setting will cook with a better texture and retain the juices better when cooked on the “LO” setting.
Operating the grill with both burners on the “LO” setting will create a temperature between 350 to 400 degrees F. This is perfect for roasting, baking, and rotissing. Depending on the draft or wind conditions, propping the lid up slightly will change the heat level slightly for even greater control. Again, the only limit to the flexibility of your grill is your imagination.
HOW ABOUT FLARE-UPS? Some flare-up should not only be expected but is desirable in most outdoor cooking. The key is to control the level of the flare-up. Your PGS Grill has been designed to allow you to control the level of the flare-ups. The stainless steel grids that hold the rock and the ceramic rocks themselves have been designed to give you unequaled even cooking and flare-up control.
These two materials will become super-heated and when the fats and juices drop on the rocks and grates the majority will be vaporized and create that “outdoor” taste. When you notice the flare-up becoming excessive turn the heat setting to the low position. I f the flare-up persists a hand held water sprayer may be used to dampen excessive flare-up.
The lower casting of your PGS grill has been specially designed to channel excessive fats and juices out of the bottom casting and into the grease collection tray. Please be sure to check the grease tray on occasion and clean when required. I f you f ind that you are getting too much flare-up it is generally the result of cooking with the grill too hot… the solution is to reduce the heat output.
When rotissing you may w ant to put an aluminum tray or drip

17

pan under the cut of meat to capture the excessive fats and juices to further reduce flare- up. Again, flare-up is desirable w hen it is under your control. HEAT OUTPUT VARI ATI ONS No two gas grills will perform exactly the same way. The fuel source, line pressure or volume, method of installation, wind and weather conditions all contribute to influencing heat output and control. I rrespective of the cooking appliance cooking will always be more art than pure science.
Even slight breezes across the cooking grids will cause a temperature variation of 25 to 50 degrees. Your unit should be positioned so the wind is at the back of the grill-cooking surface. The top casting will help shield the unit from the wind. Even though your PGS grill has been designed to cook extremely evenly you might experience slight variations in heat at the cooking grids. Your variably spaced cooking grids will give you increased flexibility in this area. You should cook smaller more delicate foods like shrimp, f ish, vegetables etc. on either side of your grill over the grids that have been spaced closer together. These grids allow less flare-up and will prevent smaller items from falling through the grids without the use of additional add-on accessory grates or griddles. Experiment with these areas, we’re sure you’ll like the results!
COOKI NG DI RECTLY Cooking directly on the cooking grids is by far the most frequently used outdoor cooking method. This method is ideal for chicken, f ish, burgers, shish-ka-bobs, and the list goes on and on. Meats get that great outdoor taste when the meat’s natural juices drip down on the hot ceramic briquettes, caramelize, and impart that great outdoor taste. As we discussed earlier, flare-up is to be expected and is actually desirable. I f you get a bit too much during the cooking process, rearrange the foods and just turn down the heat.
When the hood is closed your grill will cook faster, remain at a more controlled temperature, and use less energy. A great way to determine doneness, especially on thicker cuts of meat or poultry, is to use a meat thermometer with a probe. You can also use accessory items such as grill baskets, shish-ka-bob skewers, woks, griddles, skillets, casserole and baking dishes directly on your cooking grids. Get creative, experiment, and have lots of fun!
COOKI NG WI TH A ROTI SSERI E One of the most flexible accessory items for your grill is the motor-driven rotisserie. Use the rotis to thoroughly cook larger cuts of meat and whole poultry. A turkey cooked to golden perfection on the grill is a real treat. You can keep the lid closed when using your rotisserie. As the rotis slowly turns, the meat will self-baste in its’ own juices or you can add your own favorite sauce or marinade. The rotis will give you moist and flavorful results with just a little practice. Just remove your cooking grid or grids to accommodate the cut of meat. I nsert a shallow drip pan directly on the lava rock to catch the juices and drippings. You can use these in a gravy or sauce later if desired. A meat thermometer with a probe will give you an exact indication of proper cooking times and temperatures.

I NDI RECT COOKI NG You can bake or roast foods in your PGS grill just like you would in a conventional oven. Casseroles, whole poultry, breads, and cakes can be cooked using this indirect method. As the name implies, the food is not cooked directly over the heat source. I nstead it cooks by heated air circulating inside the grill casting. Just f ire the grill on one burner and put the food on the opposite grid.

Place an oven thermometer on the unlit side of the grill while cooking indirectly. Regulate the temperature control to the desired cooking temperature. An ideal alternate cooking source during the busy Holiday Season. Always keep the lid closed when cooking via the indirect method.

Use the following chart as a basic guide to cooking indirectly with the lid closed. I f you are grilling on a very hot or cold day you will have to adjust the temperature setting up or down as required.

THE MI CROWAVE GRI LL COMBO Your PGS Gas Grill and indoor microwave are a great combination. Many meals that require long cooking times or defrost times may be started in the microwave and f inished up on the grill. The convenience of the microwave and great taste of the outdoor grill are an unbeatable combination for those with busy schedules. Using the microwave to defrost means that you can literally go from the freezer to the grill in a matter of minutes.

Poultry, ribs, and other foods that normally take between 45 minutes and one hour to grill may be cooked by microwave for ten minutes (or to your taste) and then f inished on the grill. The opposite method may also be used. Foods may be partially cooked on the grill and then frozen to be thoroughly cooked in the microwave at a later date. When you rotis a chicken, do two instead and freeze one for a later meal…. this will be a real hit!

Large amounts of food for a large party may be pre-cooked in the microwave then quickly seared on the grill. Get creative with these two outstanding cooking appliances to get more enjoyment and flexibility out of each appliance.

THE CALORI E/ CHOLESTEROL PI CTURE I t is beyond the scope of this guide to be an authority on the latest in calorie counting or cholesterol reduction. However, there are some basics that should be remembered. Outdoor cooking can be done with no added cooking oils or fats. Marinades and sauces may be made oil-free and salt free and still do an excellent job of flavoring meats, poultry, and seafood.

18

Salt or sugar substitutes can also be used. Keep in mind that sugar substitutes will add flavor but will not glaze. Any calories contained in wine or alcohol cooks away and evaporates leaving only natural flavors. You can save on the calories by carefully selecting the cuts of meat that you cook on your grill. Cuts should be as fat free as possible and carefully trimmed if calorie counting and cholesterol reduction are objectives. Skinless chicken breasts are low in calories, as is most seafood… both taste GREAT cooked on the grill. A little bit of pre-planning along with taking full advantage of natural flavoring possibilities will allow the dieter to join right in with the rest of the gang at barbecue time.
COOKI NG WI TH WOOD SMOKE Hickory, apple wood, almond, pecan, and other aromatic woods will also allow you to add the added cooking dimension of smoking on your outdoor gas grill. There are an endless amount of products available to help turn your outdoor gas grill into a very controlled smoker. You can use wood chips wrapped in foil or other containers in your grill. Just follow the directions provided with these products. Your PGS grill has been designed to accommodate these products. Our extra large casting and large rear vent allows the smoking products to totally permeate the foods you are cooking. Special marinades and sauces are the beginning of your great outdoor cooking experience. These recipes are only a guide and can be modif ied endlessly to appeal to your own individual tastes and cooking methods… remember, there’s no right or wrong way to use your new grill!

control, and flexibility of your PGS grill. Bear in mind, there’s no single right way or wrong way to use your grill… have fun, get creative, and experiment. The more you use your PGS grill the more creative you’ll become!
BEEF
Grilled hamburgers and steaks are perennial outdoor cooking favorites for the entire family. The robust outdoor flavor imparted to beef makes it easy to see why. Even though beef is relatively easy to prepare don’t limit yourself to just basic burgers and steaks. Even relatively inexpensive cuts of meat tenderized with sauces and marinades will turn out great on your PGS grill. Chuck roast, brisket, and short ribs are just a few of the many beef cuts that can be grilled with delicious r esu lt s.
Cooking times for the beef recipes to follow are for MEDI UM doneness. I f you prefer your beef rare or well done adjust the heat and cooking times accordingly.
Do not cut or pierce the beef to check for doneness. I nstead use the touch test. Lightly press your f inger on the steak or burger (be careful not to burn your f inger). I f the meat is too hot to touch, press the back of a spoon on the meat. Use this simple test for juicy, flavorful steaks and burgers.

Give these recipes a try, they are tested, tried and proven. After using them a few times feel free to get creative and add your own favorite ingredients to give these sauces your own “signature.” Many of these recipes can be used to baste as well as serve as table sauces.
Wines and other spirits used in marinades add to flavor as well as tenderize. All of the alcohol evaporates during the cooking process making these acceptable for the entire family. Sauces and marinades are designed to enhance and compliment the flavor of what you are cooking and not intended to camouflage or suppress the natural taste.
Most sauces should be applied during the last 10 minutes of the cooking process and applied on the low heat settings to prevent burning. Keep a watchful eye the f irst time using a recipe to eliminate any “surprises” such as excessive flare-ups.
Bon Appetit!
MEATS AND MAI N DI SHES
When planning your outdoor meal, the main dish should be the starting point of the menu. After deciding on the main dish you can get quite creative planning your meal around it. The design of your PGS grill allows you a great deal of flexibility in the choice and preparation of the main dish. The following section will provide you with recipes and tips that will make the most of the convenience,

CHOOSI NG THE MEAT The best insurance policy for a successful outdoor meal is to start with the best possible cut of meat. We suggest using only USDA Prime or Choice grade of beef. An equally important consideration is fat. A little fat “marbling” through steaks is necessary for tenderness and juice. On the other hand, too much fat can cause problems. I f possible, trim off excessive fats for health reasons as well as to reduce unnecessary flare-ups that might occur. Sauces and marinades will tenderize, flavor, and garnish your beef dishes. Your individual tastes coupled with experimentation will help create countless f avor it es.
With the exception of steaks and pork chops, SLOW cooking will generally ensure tender meats. Use MEDI UM heat for grilled foods, including hamburgers and franks. Use LO heat for all roasts and rotisserie recipes.
FROZEN MEATS Large roasts and thick steaks should be thawed out and brought to room temperatures before grilling. Thin steaks, franks, cold cuts, and burgers can be grilled from a frozen state. Cooking times will also be a bit longer. Frozen steaks may be thawed in a marinade or oil to retain juices and impart flavor. Do NOT salt steaks before cooking as it tends to draw out the juices.
GREAT STEAKS Rub or brush your steaks with oil or an oil-based marinade. This will allow you to seal the surface of the steak and will retain the juices. Preheat your PGS grill for 7 to 10 minutes on HI heat. Arrange the
19

steaks two inches apart on the grill. Sear the steaks QUI CKLY on HI or MEDI UM heat and then f inish them on LO for best results. I f you experience excessive flare-up from the fats and juices reduce the heat to LO immediately.
We suggest that you tend to what you are cooking to prevent any surprises in terms of excessive flare-up or over-cooking your meal. Rearrange the steaks several times during cooking to prevent possible excessive flare-ups. Turn the steaks only once with tongs or a spatula, never pierce with a fork or you will lose the juices. The Performance Grilling System incorporated in your PGS grill was especially designed to give you great cooking results for beef meals.
When you believe the beef is f inished you can use the touch test described earlier in this section. Four 1 1/ 2 inch steaks should take approximately 22-28 minutes cooked on MEDI UM and then LO. Again, cooking results will vary according to the individual grill, location, weather conditions, gas pressure, and other factors.

the use of an optional PGS rotisserie and meat thermometer with probe.
Mount the roast as evenly as possible on the spit rod before cooking to minimize strain on the motor and to insure even turning. Limit rotisserie roasts to twelve pounds to avoid straining the motor and possible contact with the briquettes. Be sure that all rotisserie-cooked meats are secured to the spit rod and the thumbscrews on the meat forks are tightened securely before cooking.
Use oil or a marinade on roasts to help seal the meat surfaces and hold in the juices. Use a foil drip pan when cooking meats with a heavy fat content. I nitially, you can sear the roast on HI or MEDI UM heat, but extended cooking should be at the LO setting. Keep an eye on the meat thermometer to ensure best cooking results. Cooking with the lid closed will always accelerate the cooking process. Cooking with the lid open or closed is one of personal preference. Cooking with the lid open will minimize flare-up of fatty cuts of meat. After using your grill a few times, you’ll choose the method that you will be most comfortable with… grilling is an individual cooking experience!

The more you use your grill the better you’ll control the results. Here’s what to expect when you use the “TOUCH TEST”.

RARE: Meat gives easily when touched. juices appear on the surface.

I t is seared, but no

Brush on tomato based sauces and glazes only during the f inal cooking period to avoid surface charring. Oil, wine, and broth based cooking sauces and marinades may be applied throughout the cooking process. Allow your roast to “set-up” for at least 10 minutes after rotissing to keep juices from being lost during carving.

MEDI UM: Meat feels f irmer yet slightly spongy, and juices begin to appear on the surface.

WELL DONE: Meat is covered with juices . NOT yield to pressure.

I t is f irm and does

We suggest serving your steaks immediately after grilling. Steaks will lose their juices if allowed to sit too long after cooking. A little seasoned butter (see recipe) placed on top of the steaks as soon as cooked will add a gourmet touch to your meal.

Your PGS cooking grids are specif ically designed to retain the heat and cook your steaks quickly, thoroughly, and evenly throughout. Unlike conventional grids that transfer their heat to the cut of meat put on the grills and then take time to recover. Your PGS grills have the ability to retain and transfer large amounts of heat and do not require any time to get back up to proper cooking temperatures.

This may cause your cooking times to be shorter than what you may have experienced on your last outdoor cooking product. Again, keep an eye on what you are doing to prevent ruining a good cut of m eat .

To achieve the “cross-char” markings used by restaurant chefs give the steak a quarter turn halfway through the cooking on both sides to sear in grill marks that cross.

• The above guide will aid you in achieving excellent cooking results. The more you use your grill the better you and the results will become. Keep in mind that several factors such as outdoor temperature conditions, wind, humidity, altitude, and size, quality, and thickness of the meat being grilled can affect your grill’s cooking characteristics. Your PGS outdoor gas grill is a fun and exciting product that welcomes your involvement and creativity. Only your imagination will limit what your grill can cook!
  POULTRY ON THE GRI LL
  Poultry and your PGS gas grill are a natural and flavorful combination. Virtually all poultry is tender and requires a minimum of cooking. Get creative with different cooking methods using your favorite sauces and marinades. Always trim away excess fat and keep an eye on the meal you are grilling to minimize unwanted flare-up. As a general rule, brush all poultry with cooking oil to seal in the flavor and juices and cook on the LO heat setting AFTER pre-heating.
  Unlike other cuts of meat, chicken and poultry can be barbecued ahead of time and kept warm or re-heated prior to a later serving. This flexibility makes poultry an excellent choice for large gatherings. Poultry is popular any way you grill it. I t is also economical, has tremendous versatility, and nutritious. The following recipes should be used as a basic guide. As soon as you get comfortable and familiar with the cooking ability of your PGS grill get creative.

ROASTS ON THE GRI LL
To ensure the best possible results when cooking roasts we suggest

CHI CKEN ON THE ROTI S 1 (2 1/ 2 TO 3 1/ 2 Pound Whole Chicken)
20

Paprika

Salt and Pepper

Olive Oil

Remove one or both cooking grids depending on chicken size. Wash

the whole chicken and pat dry with a paper towel. Sprinkle the

cavity with salt and pepper. Put one rotis fork on spit and tighten

securely. Run rotis rod through the chicken parallel to backbone, from

a point inside the neck to just inside the tail and legs. For best

results, tie the wings and legs. Secure with second fork and tighten

thumbscrew securely so that it will not loosen during cooking process.

Turn on Rotis motor and be sure that the chicken is balanced properly

on the spit rod to minimize any strain on the rotis motor. Balancing

the cut of meats that you are rotissing will increase the life of the

motor. Brush the outside of the chicken with olive oil and sprinkle

salt, pepper, and paprika. You can also try your favorite seasoning

salt. Cook at the low heat setting for 40 to 50 minutes. For

consistent results use a meat probe thermometer for accuracy and

degree of doneness. I nsert a drip pan halfway through the cooking

process and baste with your favorite BARBECUE or cooking sauce.

FI SH & SEAFOOD
Your PGS grill has been designed with particular attention to the special requirements needed to cook f ish and seafood easily. Our performance grilling system has been designed to provide you with even cooking temperatures as well as the added flexibility of our variably spaced grids for small more delicate seafood items. Your grill will greatly enhance the mild taste of most seafood and f ish. Outdoor cooking enthusiasts have always considered f ish and seafood the most challenging, yet most rewarding, outdoor cooking endeavors. Adding sauces and marinades to f ish and seafood will truly make the little extra effort required worthwhile. Just keep a few basic points in mind.
Small whole f ish, f illets, steaks, and seafood kabobs, are best when cooked quickly or prepared in a Rotis basket. Wrapping seafood, both large and small, in foil insures against breakage. Very small and delicate pieces of seafood can be cooked on the “Vari Grids” or on a sheet of aluminum foil for easy handling. Fish is generally considered “oily” or “non-oily.” You can generally tell the difference by feeling the meat. Oily f ish should be grilled with a minimum of basting. Non-oily f ish has a tendency to dry out. This can be minimized by using a basting sauce that contains oil, plus seasonings and wine or lemon juice as required to add moisture. Experiment a bit and you’ll develop methods that will produce the desired results. Your grill is a wonderful way to cook f ish and seafood! Freshness is the consistent key to great outdoor seafood meals. You should always thoroughly defrost seafood prior to grilling.
