Charcoal Cooking Guide
Charcoal is the tradiional way of cooking that we are all familiar with. The glowing briquetes emit infrared
energy to the food being cooked, with very litle drying efect. Any juices or oils that escape from the food drip
down onto the charcoal and vaporize into smoke giving the food its delicious grilled taste. The botom line is
that Napoleon's charcoal grill produces searing heat for juicier, tasier steaks, hamburgers and other meats.
For cooking imes and ips refer to the Charcoal Grilling Chart.

Cooking Time

6-8 min.– Medium When selecing meat for grilling,
ask for marbled fat distribuion.
The fat acts as a natural tenderizer
while cooking and keeps it moist
and juicy.
6-8 min.– Medium Preparing hamburgers to order
is made easier by varying the
thickness of your paies. To add
an exoic taste to your meat, try
adding hickory-lavored woodchips
to the charcoal.
20-25 min. The joint connecing the thigh
and the leg from the skinless side
should be sliced 3/4 of the way
though for the meat to lay later
on the grill. This helps it to cook
faster and more evenly. To add a
trademark taste to your cooking, try
adding mesquite-lavored woodchips
to the charcoal.
10-15 min. Trim of the excess fat before
grilling. Choose thicker chops for
more tender results.
1.5-2 hrs. Choose ribs that are lean and
turning oten meaty. Grill unil meat easily pulls
away from the bone.
25-30 min. Trim of the excess fat before

for more tender results.
4-6 min. Select the larger size wieners. Slit
the skin lengthwise before grilling.
