TIPS • No need to bring to room temperature, use straight from the refrigerator for a smokier flavour.
• For proteins with a thick fat layer, like pork shoulder, trim o enough fat so that 1cm remains. Then place on the grill fat side up.
• For optimal smoke flavour, minimise the time the lid is open when adding or flipping food.
• When smoking, do not add any oil to the food. If oil is necessary, add very little.
• For best results, after cooking, allow small proteins to rest for at least 10 minutes and large proteins up to 1 hour wrapped in aluminum foil.
NOTE Please use these charts as guides and adjust cook
times as needed if your food load quantity varies.
