Barbecuing With Indirect Heat
Use the indirect method for larger cuts of meat
that require 20 minutes or more of barbecuing
time, or for foods so delicate that direct exposure
to the heat would dry them out or scorch them,
such as:
Joints
Bone-in poultry pieces
Delicate fish fillets
Whole chickens
Whole turkeys
Ribs
Indirect heat can also be used for finishing thicker
foods or bone-in cuts that have been seared or
browned first over direct heat. With indirect heat
or smoking, the heat is on one or both sides of
the barbecue. The food sits on the portion of the
cooking grate without charcoal directly below it (A).
The radiant and conductive heat are still factors,
but they are not as intense with indirect cooking.
However, if the lid of the barbecue is closed, as it
should be, there is another kind of heat generated:
convection heat. Heat rises, reflects off the lid and
inside surfaces of the barbecue, and circulates to
slowly cook the food evenly on all sides.
Convection heat doesn’t sear or brown the surface
of the food the way radiant and conductive heat
do. It cooks the food more gently all the way to the
centre, like the heat in an oven.
Arranging the Charcoal for
Indirect Heat
1. Always wear barbecue mitts or gloves
conforming to EN 407 (Contact Heat rating
level 2 or greater) when using your charcoal
barbecue.
Note: The barbecue, including the handles, lid damper
and bowl vents, will become hot. Make sure that you are
wearing barbecue mitts or gloves to avoid burning your
hands.
2. Be sure that the charcoal rails are positioned
on the sides of the bowl away from
thermometer and bowl handle (B). A drip pan
may be placed between the charcoal to collect
drippings.
3. Make sure the ONE-TOUCH cleaning system
handle and lid damper are in the fully open
position (C), (D).
4. Replace the cooking grate.
5. Slide the lid closed.
6. Preheat the grate for approximately 10 to 15
minutes.
7. Once the cooking grate is preheated, slide the
lid open and hang it on the side of the bowl
using the lid hook. Using a barbecue brush,
scrub the cooking grate clean (E).
Note: When using a stainless steel bristle barbecue
brush, replace the brush if any loose bristles are found
on the cooking grate or brush.
8. Place your food in the centre of the cooking
grate, above a drip pan if using one.
9. Slide the lid closed. Always position the lid so
that the thermometer is not above the charcoal
where it will be exposed to direct heat. Adjust
the lid and bowl dampers to lower the interior
barbecue temperature if necessary. Consult
recipe for recommended cooking times.
When finished cooking...
Close the lid damper and bowl vents to extinguish
the charcoal (F).
