What is the indirect cooking method?
In this method the Heat Beads® BBQ Briquettes are placed at the sides of the kettle barbecue. The food being cooked is placed in the centre, with a drip tray underneath in order to collect fats and oils and prevent flare ups.
This method of cooking is ideal for roasts, such as pork, lamb or whole poultry and other large cuts of meat, which may take a longer than half an hour to cook.
With the lid on the kettle and the vents open, hot air will circulate around the food and provide even and consistent cooking. There is no need to turn the food.
