What it is
A grill supports food above a heat source. An outdoor fuel-burning barbecue and a rack from another appliance do not necessarily share operating instructions.
When to use it
It cooks food on a hot grate. For the documented Weber Spirit grills, preheating helps prevent sticking. Follow the particular model’s instructions for timing and settings.
How to use it
Prepare clean utensils and plates for cooked food. Do not reuse those that touched raw meat without washing them; check cooking with a food thermometer.
Cleaning and storage
Clean the grill between uses and remove food and grease following the equipment manual. Accumulated grease can start a fire.
Safe use
Use propane, charcoal or wood-pellet barbecues only outdoors. Keep them away from combustible materials and do not leave them unattended while lit.
