Page 29 Grill Cooking Tips WOOD PELLETS ONLY USE wood pellets made for barbecue, not heat grade pellets. Barbecue wood pellets should be 100% all natural wood and come in a variety of types of wood that will add flavor to whatever food you are grilling or smoking. If possible, always use fresh wood pellets for each cooking session to ensure they burn properly giving off the correct amount of heat and smoke flavor.

Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours of taking off the grill. Always wash hands thoroughly with soap and hot water prior to handling food and after handling raw meat, uncooked poultry or seafood.
