2 zone cooking on a Genesis 1100.

[Bruno]

Looking to see how you guys cook and set up your burners for a 2 zone cook in an old Genesis.

Thank you.

Preheat all burners on High, then

MED OFF MED

Depends on what will be cooked and how much. When I had mine on larger longer cooks was not unusual for me to run low or med front rest off. One thing to remember with a real Genesis (like yours). Because of the burner arrangement and the way it's "vented", heat travels front to rear as does smoke. So if you're wanting to do a smoke flavored indirect cook it's best to use the center to rear of the grill to place the food

I usually just put the front burner on and push the meat to the back like Larry does. One burner can usually maintain plenty of heat for the cook.

You can also do it like you would with a Q1xxx/Q2xxx...with a baking sheet and a rack.

I did a rack of beef ribs yesterday. But in a n-s grill. Worked, but not as easy. It did however cook faster than expected. Airflow I suspect, compared to oven.
I used the potato grill, the bun warmer rack, at an angle across the grill. Left burner on, hope for the best. Worked. By the time I grab the slim baking pan with potatoes for underneath, boom already past 203, parts close to 210.
A e-w grill would be easier.
