Time to cook: How long should I expect it to take from the time I start the fire until it's ready to cook?

Kingsford gave their regular charcoal a makeover and now the charcoal lights faster than before so depending on what you are cooking and how hot you want the grill to be, you can be ready to go in about 15 minutes versus the 30 - 40 minutes that it used to take. Take a peek at this site for more info: http://busycooks.about.com/od/outdoorgrills/a/howtogrill.htm The article has an embedded link to another article that has additional information. The Performer is a great grill, and it's one of my favorites. The Touch-N-Go ignition is tops! The other favorite is the Weber Baby Q. I like to use that one sometimes during the week when grilling items that don't take much time to cook.

No...it takes approximately 20-30 minutes for the heating elements to cool down. I would NOT leave anything on the burners if you don't want them to keep cooking.

I cook mine ( corn) at 350 for about 5 minutes. Until its golden brown Spray it with cooking spray first

I don't recall getting cooking times with mine. I usually do 2 mins then check. Not very scientific but I haven't burnt anything.

Usually mine is done about 15 minutes after pouring it into the boiling water, depending on how hot the stove burner is.

it depends on how big the fire is and how low you have the spit. I had it on there for about an hour and fifteen min. But I couldn't get the chickn to rotate with the spit correctly so I left it up high and kept it on a while. You could probably do it in 15 min. If you put it closer to the fire and got the chicken secure. I would recommend you use an instant read thermometer. When I made my chicken it was fully cooked but he meat was so juicy that it was actually hard to tell. I neve knew that chicken could be that chicken could be that juicy.

Maybe a minute, the green light will let you know that it is ready. You really will not wait long. Don't try to start the Waring then make the batter, you will have to cut it off because it will be too hot.

I usually preheat cast iron pans (Medium or Low heat for about 5-10 minutes). Then things like pancakes cook fast and correct.

What are you cooking? This is like any other appliance it takes about 3-4 minutes to get to it's main temp. So I plug it in and put my meat on when I'm ready.

I put an oven thermometer inside. It takes 3-5 minutes to reach temperature.

It depends on the heat output of your burners. It takes about 10 minutes on a very strong burner (what I use) but probably longer on a less powerful one. Basically the stone has to heat up in order for the pizza to cook properly.

Seems like 2~3 min. I usually turn on first and then go prepare batter and by the time I have finished preparing batter, the iron is ready or near ready.

I let it run through the 15 min. cycle with heat. It will start right back up if I want it to. Honestly, 15 min. is enough....this thing isn't for pansies. ;)

We just scrape it down, turn up the flames to high and let it cook for about 5 minutes or so. Never had a problem

Sorry it took me so long to answer i could not find my guide .Now i have it i looked up your question turn your roast to the desired setting then heat for 15 to 20 minutes before use. There is a guide (Instruction) book to tell you how long the item you put in the roast should be cooked and on what temperature you should cook it at. Hope this helps you.

I would say approximately 4 - 5 minutes on regular. I will time it on the next pot and let you know if it is much different. We don't use the bold setting, so I don't know.

I am currently using my first bag of Apple pellets. I have used my grill about 8 times and have enough left for at least 1-2 more uses. It depends on what you are cooking. Most of what I have cooked takes about an hour and a half including the preheat process. A whole roasted chicken about an hour and a half. Pork tenderloin hour and ten minutes. The Traeger baby back rib recipe call for six hours, so depends what you are making will make your pellets last. Great way to cook though! Like a buddy told me, he'd install his in his kitchen if his wife would let him.
