Weber grilling guide - Manual
This grilling guide covers Weber’s range of electric, gas, charcoal, and smoker grills, offering standardized cooking timelines for meats, seafood, and vegetables based on thickness or weight while accounting for heat levels and indirect/direct methods. The document organizes recommendations by food category–such as red meat, poultry, seafood, and vegetables–and highlights factors like altitude adjustments that may influence results. It emphasizes practical grilling techniques rather than detailed procedural steps.

electric grills
The following cuts, thicknesses, weights, and grilling times are meant to be guidelines. Factors such as altitude,
wind, and outside temperature can affect cooking times. Two rules of thumb: Grill steaks, fish fillets, boneless
chicken pieces, and vegetables using the direct method for the time given on the chart (or to the desired
doneness), turning food once halfway through grilling time. Grill roasts, whole poultry, bone-in poultry pieces,
whole fish, and thicker cuts using the indirect method for the time given on the chart (or until an instant-read
thermometer registers the desired internal temperature). Cooking times for beef and lamb use the USDA’s
definition of medium doneness unless otherwise noted. Before carving, let roasts, larger cuts of meat, and thick
chops and steaks rest for 5 to 10 minutes after cooking. The internal temperature of the meat will rise by 5 to 10
degrees during this time.
