Place a drip pan right
underneath where the food
will be set.

Indirect Grilling

• Indirect grilling positions the food on the grill rack away from or to the side of the heat source.
• Grill is covered.

• Similar to an oven, heat inside the grill reflects off the lid and other interior surfaces.
• Food is cooked from all sides (eliminating need to turn it).

• Larger foods that take longer to cook such as ribs.

• Place a drip pan, such as a heavy-gauge disposable aluminum pan, under the food to catch drippings that could cause flare-ups.
• Use long-handled tongs to place drip pan.
• Add hot water to drip pans to keep drippings from burning.
• Can use other liquid, such as apple juice or beer, to add flavor and moisture.
• For indirect grilling, heat the coals until they are covered with gray ash.
• Don't peek! The heat and smoke will escape and lengthen cooking time.
