Smokin’ Champ™ GRILLING RECIPES Direct Heat • • • • Direct Heat is a high heat method used to cook foods that take less than 25 minutes to cook. Typically, this means foods that are relatively small or thin such as steaks, chops, boneless chicken breasts, fish fillets, hamburgers, etc. Cooking with a MEAT THERMOMETER ensures food is fully cooked. Insert into the thickest part not touching bone, and allow five minutes to register. Internal temperatures for FOWL should be 170°F to 180°F.
Smokin’ Champ™ • • • • • • SMOKING RECIPES Indirect Heat Bring to room temperature before cooking. Mix in chopped onions, green peppers, salt, sear 3/4 inch patties on each side with fire grate in high position for a few minutes. Lower fire grate to medium position and grill with lid down to avoid flare-ups. Cook each side 3 to 7 minutes according to desired doneness. Cook ground meat to 150 internally or until juice runs clear (free of blood) for prevention of E-coli.
