They’re here today showing us their six best tips and tricks for making sure our barbecue is definitely the best. Watch and learn.
6 Tricks For Grilling And Barbecuing
Shield your grill from the wind as much as possible to keep the internal temperature from fluctuating too much and the smoke from escaping too quickly.
If you use charcoal, measure or count out the briquettes to make sure you have the right size fire.
Soak wood chips in water to insure that the smoke slowly releases over a long period of time.
Position the vents in the lid directly over the meat to draw the smoke across it.
If you’re cooking a large cut of meat, bank the coals steeply to keep the meat further away from the fire and insure that it cooks gently.
Keep that lid on! You want that internal temperature to stay consistent, so no peeking. Use a grill thermometer to monitor your food’s progress instead.
