Useful Tips for Cooking with Barbecue Grill Charcoal | Spas San ...

Every season, there are more newcomers taking on the challenge of learning backyard grilling, and always with some memorable mistakes that will be talked about for years. If only there was a way for them to learn the basics of using barbecue grill charcoal, perhaps their initial adventure would turn out better, with a lot more meat being saved in the process. In the spirit of this wish, we offer some basic tips that any cook should know.
Setting up the grill
To start, always make sure that your grill is completely clean and ready to use, with no foreign bits or ash left inside of it, and that includes the metal wire grill itself. Nothing will make food taste awful than leftover grease or burnt bits adhering to the fresh meat while cooking. Next, make sure that you use only enough barbecue grill charcoal that the manufacturer of your grill recommends. Too much will cause uneven heating of the grilling area, and may cause more smoke than necessary.
Once you have your barbecue grill charcoal lit, wait for at least 30 to 45 minutes before starting to grill anything. This will give you time to prepare the meat, and give the coals a chance to really distribute the heat around the inside of the grill. When grilling, use tongs as opposed to forks for turning meat, and you will avoid unnecessary splashing of grease over the fire. Vegetables and fish cook best in foil packets, placed on the grill.
