Weber Traveler Compact Quick Start Guide

Welcome to Your Weber Traveler Compact

This guide is designed to help you enjoy your first meal on your new Weber Traveler Compact barbecue as quickly as possible. It provides essential preheat and cooking settings for various cooking styles.

Understanding Cooking Methods

Direct Cooking: This method involves grilling or searing food directly above the heat source on the cooking grill. A variation includes using accessories like a frying pan or casserole dish.

Lid Down Cooking: Weber barbecues are designed for lid-down cooking, which helps infuse food with the signature Weber flavour.

Key Settings and Considerations

Temperature Ranges: The provided temperature ranges are guides. Adjust settings based on your experience and conditions.

Preheating: Always preheat your barbecue with the lid down. Refer to the tables for recommended preheat times and settings.
