    • ]]>     Summer is the best season to perfect your professional grill techniques. The long days insure that plenty of time is available for evening cookouts. The chances for truly bad weather are generally less and easier to predict. What are some things you can do to make your summer barbecue party a success?

    First, it is important, as always, to follow fire safety rules. Often brush and even grass around the house can be dry and prone to sparking a fire. Make sure that you have any flammable brush cleared away from where you’re going to be cooking. Also be careful around wood, such as on a deck, that might be dried out from hot days. I’ve seen them begin to smolder when they were to close to a hot grill.

    As you cook, keep yourself hydrated. Having to take a trip to the hospital isn’t a good way to end your party early! Keep plenty of cool water on hand and drink often. You’ll be working in hot conditions so you’ll need fluids. Avoid alcoholic beverages until you’re ready to kick back and relax.

    Bugs can be an unpleasant part of summertime outdoor activity. Bug zappers work but are rather unappealing. You may want to try scented candles that keep biting insect pests away from your grilling station and your guests’ tables. Make sure you cover food quickly to avoid attracting flies. Nobody wants to see that on their food.

    It’s always a good idea to have an appetizer for your guests to enjoy. I recommend a hearty, freshly made, garden salsa served with tortilla chips or a fruit salad.

    Try to serve your meat as quickly to your guests as you can. Any delay can reduce the flavor and enjoyment of the meal. Make the meat the last thing to be ready. Nobody wants to wait around for you to finish the potato salad while the meat is getting cold.

    I hope these ideas help make your summer barbecue party a success and enhance your reputation as a professional griller.

    • ]]>     When it comes to cooking outdoors many people select an Outdoor Charcoal Grill as their first grill. What type of charcoal grill will suit your needs?

    Smaller charcoal grills are ideal for cookouts, camping, and tail gate parties, but would not be useful if you were cooking for a larger amount of people. If you plan on feeding a larger amount of people, a larger charcoal grill will better suit your needs. If you are having issues deciding on which type you should get, you may consider getting both. Smaller charcoals grills can cost as little as $10 to $15 dollars, and will give you the ability to travel.

    Charcoal grills contain hot embers and fire when it is in use. Safety should also be a major concern when you are picking out your first Charcoal grill. Look for a charcoal grill with a sturdy structure and sturdy legs. If you grill does now have sturdy legs, it’s chances of falling over is much greater. When a charcoal grill falls over, it will send the hot coals flying. Many charcoal grills also have built in safety features such as a water reservoir and smothering valves. Undoubtedly, when you are cooking with fire, accidents can happen. In the case that your grill gets out of control or become to hot, these safety features will prevent potentially dangerous fires. The fire department has much better things to do then help you cook.

    One of the most noticeable features when using charcoal is the flavor of the food you cook. To cook with a charcoal grill, you must buy charcoal briquettes and lighter fluid. Charcoal is a one use item, and will need to be discarded after each use. Charcoal can be picked up at your local superstore, gas station, or grocery store, and is typically pretty inexpensive. Charcoal must be light and allowed to burn until the charcoal is no longer on fire, but is red embers. The best way to get the pile to burn is by stacking it in a pyramid.

    While no one likes to clean their grill, it is necessary to maintain your grill if you want it to last it’s intended lifetime. One problem you will face is the fact that Charcoal grills stay hot for a long period of time. You can remedy this situation 2 ways. First you can leave your grill open, allowing it to burn out. This method typically burns a lot of the grease off, but can potentially cause problems if you are not near your barbeque grill. You do not want to start a fire. Another way is to completely close off your grill and deny the fire oxygen. As soon as the grill is cold, or cold enough not to burn you, you will want to clean the grill. Leaving the grill dirty for any amount of time will cause the buildup to become hard, and may make it more difficult to remove. Use a wire brush to clean off the surface areas of your grill, and then spray cooking oil on the surface. Take the racks off and clean them with dishwashing soap. Dawn or other brands that have degreasers work best. Rinse the racks off, and replace them in the grill.

    These tips will help you keep your food tasting good and your Outdoor Charcoal Grill in top condition.
