Indirect Cooking Using BBQ Offset Firebox SmokersIndirect cooking is cooking in the absence of heat from a direct heat source. Like a gas flame?The big difference is in the texture of the finished product - direct heat gives you more like grilled. While indirect is like in an oven.
Also with indirect grilling, flare-ups from dripping fat are like non existent. So the food doesn't char on the outside. Typically with a three burner grill, you'd barbecue indirectly with the center burner turned off. Using the front and rear burners to surround the cut of meat with the heat needed to cook it in it's own juices. Indirect heat is ideal for big stuff like turkeys, roasts, briskets? Because slow cooking over slow heat brings out the best in these cuts. Otherwise you'd burn the outside and have raw meat on the inside. You can even do pizza this way. Remember the more ways you've got to cook, and the more types of food you can cook, the most apt you are to use your grill more often.
