pre-HeatIng
pre-heating your grill every
time you use it is extremely
important. pre-heating allows
the briquettes to properly
heat up, providing more even
and more consistent cooking
results.
pre-heat your grill by igniting
all main burners, including
the prosear™ 2 burner, and
setting them to “hi”.
then close the hood and
allow the grill to heat for 10
to 15 minutes. once you’ve
reached your desired pre-heat
temperature, turn off the
burners that you won’t be
using to cook your food.

types of cooKIng
the main brass burners and
the prosear™ 2 burner in
your lynx grill are capable
of creating a range of heat
intensities. By varying the
heat output, the number of
burners used and the position
of the hood, you can create
either direct or indirect heat
or a combination of both and
develop a wide variety of
succulent recipes. there are
two basic types of grilling in
an outdoor grill... direct heat
and indirect heat
dIrect Heat
direct heat cooking occurs
when foods are placed
directly over the heat source.
this form of heat is known as
“radiant” heat because the
heat radiates directly from the
source to the food.
direct heat is a must when
you want to sear the outside
of your food to seal in flavor.
lynx prosear™ 2 Burners
provide the heat necessary to
sear foods and seal in flavor.
IndIrect Heat
indirect heat cooking occurs
when the food is not close to
the heat source. heat reaches
the food via air movement
within the cooking area. this
form of heat is known as “con-
vection” heat.
indirect, or “convection”
cooking is achieved by placing
the food on one side of the
grill and igniting burners on
the other side. you leave the
burner below the food “off”.
you should keep the hood
closed as much as possible
during this type of cooking to
maintain even heat around the
food. you regulate the heat
by adjusting the burner, using
the hood thermometer to
monitor the temperature.
