GRILL TIPS
How To Light A Charcoal Grill
- Clean the grill surface/grate.
- If possible, remove the grate from the grill.
- Open any venting holes at the side or bottom of the grill.
- Arrange charcoal briquets in a pyramid.
- Carefully add lighter fluid until briquets they have on a shiny appearance.
- Use a long match to light briquets (be sure to allow them to burn up to 15 minutes – ready to use when they take on an ashy look).
- Using a long pair or grill tongs, spread the briquets out along the bottom of the grill.
- Replace the grill grate with a gloved hand or long tongs. 9. Cook your food to the proper internal temperatures… and enjoy!
Cooking Tips
- Briquets should always be spread just wider than the area needed for the cooking area you need.
- For thinner meat spread evenly on the bottom.
- For thicker cuts of meat spread the briquets more heavily on one side and thinner on the other.
- Grill the outside of a thick cut on the side with more.
- Finish grilling on the side of the grill with less.
