Lid down cooking creates the magic! By cooking with the lid closed on your Weber Q, you maximise the heat and smoke penetration into your food. This is important because it helps to create a moist and tender meal. Additionally, the enhanced smoking process seals in flavours and enhances Juicy Meats production. By doing this, you are ensuring that your food will taste great even after hours of grilling or barbecuing! When you cook with the lid closed on your Weber Q, it creates a more even cooking temperature and prevents flare-ups. This is because the heat circulates better in the grill and doesn't build up along the sides of the grill like it does when the lid is open.
