Claudia, Using a gas grill is pretty straight forward. Turn on the tank, turn on one of the burners, punch the igniter, after you hear the woof of it igniting, you can turn on the other burners. Make sure the lid is up when you are firing it up. A talking instant read thermometer like the one you can get from BlindMiceMart, comes in quite handy. Tongs are also quite useful.
Learning how to cook on it takes some practise. Expect to burn a few things at first. You will need to learn about where to put things on the grill. You can place stuff directly over the flames. You can place it forward of the flames. Or you can even turn off one of the burners, and place the food in that spot so that you are cooking with indirect heat. It's just a matter of getting used to it, but I think you will enjoy it. -- Blue skies. Dan Rossi Carnegie Mellon University. E-Mail: d...@andrew.cmu.edu Tel: (412) 268-9081
