supplied cooking grids and food placed directly over
the lit grill Burners. The method is ideal for searing
and whenever you want meat, poultry or fish to have

smoking are also best cooked in this manner
because they require direct heat.

the left or right side of your grill with the burner lit
on the opposite side.

cause flare-ups. Since flare-ups impart a
