How to Tell When a Gas Grill is Ready:

• High Heat (450-650 F): Set burner on high, judge temperature on grill thermometer (hand 4 inches above grate for 2-3 seconds)
• Medium-High Heat (400 F): Set burner on medium-high, judge temperature on grill thermometer (hand 4 inches above grate for 4-5 seconds)
• Medium Heat (325-350 F): Set burner on medium, judge temperature on grill thermometer (hand 4 inches above grate for 6-8 seconds)
• Medium-Low Heat (300 F): Set burner on medium-low, judge temperature on grill thermometer (hand 4 inches above grate for 9-10 seconds)
• Low Heat (225-250 F): Set burner on low, judge temperature on grill thermometer (hand 4 inches above grate for 11-14 seconds)

Other Hints for Gas Grilling:

• Preheat grill according to manufacturer’s directions, usually 15-20 minutes prior to use.
• When finished grilling, close the lid and allow grill to burn an additional ten minutes. This will allow any meat or seasonings that may have burned to the grill to be charred for easier cleaning. A grill brush with stiff bristles is typically used to scrape away the charred material.

How to Tell When a Charcoal Grill is Ready:

• High Heat (450-650 F): Coals glow bright red-orange (hand 4 inches above grate for 2-3 seconds)
• Medium-High Heat (400 F): Coals glow orange while starting to ash over (hand 4 inches above grate for 4-5 seconds)
• Medium Heat (325-350 F): Coals will be lightly ashed over but still glowing orange (hand 4 inches above grate for 6-8 seconds)
• Medium-Low Heat (300 F): Coals will be ashed over and have a faint orange glow (hand 4 inches above grate for 9-10 seconds)
• Low Heat (225-250 F): Coals will be thickly ashed over (hand 4 inches above grate for 11-14 seconds)

Where to Place Food on a Charcoal Grill:

• High Heat (450-650 F):Directly over center of bright red-orange glow
• Medium-High Heat (400 F):On edge of red-orange glowing center
• Medium Heat (325-350 F):In the 1-2 inch-wide ring surrounding red-orange glowing center
• Medium-Low Heat (300 F): In the 3-4 inch-wide ring surrounding red-orange glowing center
• Low Heat (225-250 F): In the 5-6 inch-wide ring surrounding red-orange glowing center

Other Hints for Charcoal Grilling:

• Prior to start, check for adequate fuel. An average fire uses 3-4 pounds of charcoal.
• The charcoal is ready for cooking when about 80% of the coals appear gray with ash. (At night, these coals appear glowing red)
• To lower the temperature, spread the coals.
• To intensify the heat, consolidate the coals closer together.
• The vents, usually found in the lid, may also be used for temperature control.

Tips for Perfect Grilling

• It is important to invest in a quality meat thermometer. Most are a probe you stick in the center of the meat for a quick read and cannot be left in the meat. Those that can be left in the meat are generally more expensive; they are typically attached to a wire that runs outside the grill.
• Internal temperature readings of meats should be taken with a meat thermometer inserted at an angle in the center of the thickest portion of the meat.
• When using a thermometer for smaller cuts of meat, such as chicken breast or pork chops, insert the thermometer horizontally in the end of the thicker portion of meat.
• When reading internal temperatures of meats, remove meat from the heat of the grill, read the temperature, and then return meat to the grill if further cook time is necessary.
• For bone-in cuts of meat, make a small slit near the bone to determine internal color and degree of doneness.
• For thicker meat portions, it is best to use a quick recovery thermometer for more accurate temperature readings.
