Then, to light your fire, simply open the fuel tank valve to release gas to the burners, and then press the ignition button. It may take a few attempts for the flames to ignite; when they do ignite, you should have blue flames with yellow tips.
You can cook all kinds of meat, potatoes, and vegetables on your gas grill. Hamburgers, ribs, chicken, steaks, pork chops, salmon, baked potatoes, corn, squash, and onions are only a few of the most commonly grilled items. Hamburgers, steaks, and seafood fillets grill in less than fifteen minutes while pork chops take fifteen to twenty minutes, and corn and tomatoes cook in thirty-five to forty-five minutes.
To obtain the best results, cook your food on medium heat with the lid closed. If you cook your food with heat that is too hot, you will burn the outside of your food before the inside has finished cooking. An even slower but more especially effective method is to use indirect cooking, which is grilling food without putting the food directly over the flames.
In addition, remember to flip your meats and vegetables about halfway through the grilling time. You can put meats and vegetables directly onto the grill, but you can also wrap vegetables heavy-duty aluminum foil. To discover if your grilled items are finished, use a meat thermometer (cook chicken to 170 degrees, pork and hamburgers to 160, and steaks to 145), or cut into the thickest piece of meat and check it yourself.
