Grilling Basics

Tips for Better BBQ

Build a Proper Fire

Allow your charcoal to fully ignite before placing food on the grill. A light gray coating indicates the charcoal is ready.

Control Heat Zones

Arrange charcoal to create direct and indirect cooking areas for better temperature control.

Keep the Lid Closed

Opening the lid too often causes temperature fluctuations and increases cooking time.

Let Meat Rest

Allow cooked meats to rest before slicing to retain their natural juices.

Clean the Grill

Remove food residue after every cook to maintain flavor and improve cooking performance.
