When searing foods, we recommend preheang the grill by operang all main burners
in the high posion with the lid closed for approximately 10 minutes. Food cooked for short periods of
me (sh, vegetables) can be grilled with the lid open. Cooking with the lid closed will ensure higher, more
even temperatures that can reduce cooking me and cook meat more evenly. Food that has a cooking me
longer than 30 minutes, such as roasts, can be cooked indirectly (with the burner lit opposite to the food
placement). When cooking very lean meats, such as chicken breasts or lean pork, the grids can be oiled
before pre-heang to reduce scking. Cooking meat with a high degree of fat content can create are-ups.
Either trim the fat or reduce temperatures to inhibit this. Should a are-up occur, move food away from
the ames and reduce the heat. Leave the lid open. Learn more grilling techniques and delicious recipes
by acquiring Napoleon’s cookbooks.
: Place food to be cooked on the grill directly over the heat. This method is generally used
for searing or for foods that do not require prolonged cooking mes such as hamburgers, steaks, chicken
pieces, or vegetables. The food is rst seared to trap-in the juices and avor, and then the temperature is
lowered to nish cooking the food to your preference.
: With one or more burners operang, place food to be cooked on the grill over a burner
that is not operang. The heat circulates around the food, cooking slowly and evenly. Cooking with this
method is much the same as cooking in your oven and is generally used for larger cuts of meats such
as roasts, chickens
or turkeys, but can also be used for cooking foods that are prone to are-ups or for
smoking foods. Lower tem
peratures and slower cooking mes result in tender foods.
: The smoker burner is designed to be used in conjuncon with the smoker tray. Follow
the smoker burner lighng instrucons and operate the smoker burner on high for 10 minutes, reducing
heat as required.
Open the smoker drawer and place a small amount of wood chips into the solid poron of the
smoker tray.
As it is very easy to “over smoke” use small amounts on your rst few aempts. To get a smoke avour
all that is required is a wisp of smoke, smoke billowing out of the unit is not desired and will oen leave
a sooty deposit on the food which doesn’t taste good. Soaking wood before use will slow burning and
increase smoke avour.
Wood for smoking comes in various forms, chunks, chips, dust and pellets, it also comes in many variees
(avours) from apple to walnut, each transming a dierent taste. Use only wood that you know has not
been treated, or beer sll buy from your authorized Napoleon dealer.
: Follow the Infrared Burner Ignion procedures and operate on
high for 5 minutes with the lid closed or unl the ceramic burners glow red. Place food on the grill(s) and
cook according to mes listed in the Infrared Grilling Chart. Depending upon your taste, connue cooking
over infrared burners on high, medium, or low, turning food frequently, or place food over unlit burners,
close lid, and allow the oven temperature to slowly nish cooking your food.
Rear Burner Use (If Equipped): Remove the warming rack prior to use, the extreme heat will damage the
warming rack. Cooking grids should also be removed if they interfere with the rosserie. The rear burner
is designed to be used in conjuncon with the rosserie kit available from your dealer. See the rosserie
kit assembly instrucons.
To use the counterbalance - remove the rosserie motor from the gas grill. Place the spit with meat being
cooked across the hangers inside the grill. The meat will naturally hang with the heavy side down. Tighten
the counterbalance arm and weight so the arm is facing up. Slide the counterweight in or out to balance
the load and ghten in place. Re-install the motor and begin cooking. Place a metal dish underneath the
meat to collect drippings for basng and naturally delicious gravy. Basng liquid may be added as required.
To seal in juices, rst operate rear burner on high unl brown, then reduce the heat to thoroughly cook
foods. Keep the lid closed for best results. Your roasts and fowl will brown perfectly on the outside and
stay moist and tender on the inside. For example, a 3-pound chicken on the rosserie will be done in ap-
proximately 1½ hours on medium to high. Search Grill Master Recipes at hps://www.napoleon.com/en/
