Simple Tips For The Best BBQ Fire

By Michael Jackson


To develop the best grill you first need to equip yourself with the skills to create the perfect fire. A BBQ is one of the most popular methods of cooking, offering convenience, affordability, and flavorful meals. Knowing how to prepare your grill for long lasting and beautiful coals can aid in cooking meats, vegetables, and even desserts left on the fire.

Hosting a grill is considered a preferred summertime activity and includes celebrations with family and friends. If you wish to create a desirable grilled meal, it requires the correct fire preparation, heat distribution, and the release of natural smoke into the meats. There are a few guidelines that can be considered for the best cooking practices.

The first option is to gather charcoal in a suitable canister and to place rolled up balls of newspaper on the top. Light the paper, and wait. The fire should spread to the surrounding coals without any reliance on strong lighter fluid and petroleum products. Heating the coals will allow for the release of heat into the grid for even and safe distribution.

Be sure to clean off the excess fat and grit that may have formed on the surface of the grid. The even spread of hot coals will ensure that foods are cooked thoroughly and without hot or cool areas. Uneven heat application can result in under cooking specific meats or overcooking particular types of food.

It is important that one remain in control of the heat and to monitor cooking of different types of foods at all times. The grill can be lowered for thicker cuts of meat or additional layers placed on the coals for cooking purposes. It is important to determine the temperatures that particular meats require for sufficient preparation.

Consider the addition of wood chips if you wish to create a natural smoky taste. There is the option to place untreated wooden slats above the grill and to place meat or fish on the board for cooking. This allows the woody odors to absorb into the different foods.

To prepare the perfect grill requires the creation of a controlled fire. Once the coals have been heated and evenly distributed, you are able to better cook meat without risk of burning the outside and failing to thoroughly cook the inside. Avoid the use of petroleum products such as lighter fluid and instead use newspaper and wood chips for heat.
