Smoking
Adding wood smoke to your barbecue during
cooking opens up a whole new world of flavours.
Different types of wood produce different flavours
and complement different meat and cooking
styles. Experiment with different wood and food
to find combinations that suits your taste.
Using the smoker box:
The smoker box can be used when direct or
indirect cooking. While the barbecue is preheating
for cooking is the best time to get your smoker box
smoking.
To use your smoker box:
1. Soak smoking wood chips or chunks in water for
at least an hour.
2. Open the barbecue lid.
3. Open the lid of the smoker box and fill the box
with the presoaked wood.
4. Light the smoker burner according to the
instructions in the owner’s guide.
5. Leave the smoker burner on HIGH until the
wood starts to smoulder.
6. Once the wood is smouldering, close the lid of
the smoker box and turn the smoker burner to
LOW. The wood should smoke for about half an
hour, giving your food a subtle smokey flavour.
How to read the recipes in this book
The collection of recipes in this book are designed
to show you what your Summit is capable of, as
well as giving you some ideas for different meals
you might like to cook. There are recipes that range
from very simple to a little more complex. If you’re
new to Weber, a good suggestion is to try some
simple meals first, to understand and master the
cooking methods, then move on to some of the
more detailed recipes or start trying your own.
At the top of each recipe, we indicate the cooking
method used (direct or indirect) and the burner
setting (high, medium, roast, bake, pork crackle
and low and slow). It’s important to note that
your barbecue can accommodate both cooking
methods at once. If you leave some burners off
and light others, you’re able to cook ‘direct’ over
the lit burners and ‘indirect’ over the unlit burners.
Where we have indicated cooking times, it’s
important to remember that they are only there
as a guide. Wind, ambient temperature and the
temperature of the meat when you start cooking
can all influence the amount of time required.
One of the best ways to make sure you get your
meat cooked just the way you like it is to use a
meat thermometer. By reading the internal
temperature of the meat, you can tell exactly
when it is cooked to your liking. Weber make a
range of innovative meat thermometers to suit
everyone. An internal meat temperature cooking
chart is included at the end of this book.
