How do I Cook With a Weber BBQ?

A Weber barbecue is a simple grill to cook on, requiring little to no experience.

The Weber barbecue uses charcoal briskets to cook food with direct heat at high temperatures. The Weber barbecue is a good models to start with if you have little or no experience when it comes to grilling food. Keep in mind that Weber grills come in a variety of sizes, and the larger your grill, the more charcoal you will need to use.

Things You'll Need

• Bag of ready-light charcoal
• Grill lighter or matches
• Oven mitts

Instructions

1. Open the air vents of your Weber barbecue. Weber barbecues have two air vents--one on the bottom of the grill and one on the grill lid. These vents should be completed open before you begin cooking.

2. Pour the charcoal into the base of your Weber grill. Different grill sizes need either more or less charcoal. Please see the user manual in "Resources" for specific instructions on how much charcoal to add, depending on your model.

3. Ignite the charcoal with a grill lighter or a match. Allow the charcoal to burn for 25 to 30 minutes until they have turned into a grayish color and are red hot. Keep your Weber barbecue uncovered during this process.

4. Don the oven mitts, and insert the grill grate.

5. Arrange the food that you'd like to cook on top of the grill grate. Cover the grill with its lid and grill the food until it is cooked to your liking. Check it often, turning when necessary.
