Grilling Tips

1. Grill slow using a low fire
Hold your hand close to the fire for 3-4 seconds. If that is not possible, your fire is too hot! The meat will be more flavorable cooking slower for 20 minutes instead of scaring in 10.

2. Spray the grill with Pam
Using gloves or pliers, remove hot grill from the BBQ pit and spray with Pam. This will help prevent your food from sticking to the surface of the grill while cooking.
Warning: DO NOT SPRAY THE GRILL WHILE IT IS OVER THE FIRE!

3. Check grill often
Check your grill every 3-5 minutes in order to watch over the fire and rotate the meat when necessary. If flaming occurs you will be there to save your food from disaster. Use drops of water or close off the air vents to reduce the flame.

4. Use Charcoal for better taste and flavor
Gas grills are a great convience, however to cook the best BBQ you must use charcoal or wood to get the best flavor and taste from your food

5. Wood choices
Grilling woods for direct heat: Mesquite, Hickory, Pecan
Smoking woods for indirect heat: Pecan, Apple, Mesquite, Hickory

6. Skewers
Use metal skewers if possible - they don't burn. If you use wooden skewers, soak them in clean water. This will help keep them from burning.
