What to Look for when choosing a CHARCOAL GRILL

Monday, June 25th, 2007

Charcoal Grills are making a comeback with a redesigned convenience.
With the ease of lighting and cooking with HARD WOOD CHARCOAL, there is less mess and are ready to cook in 10 mins. No more waiting for the charcoal briquettes to turn gray-which takes 30-45 mins. You light the hard wood charcoal and wait 10 mins….then cook.
What do you need to look for in a charcoal grill so that this function is quick and easy?
1) Adjustable Firebox
2) Good Grease Draining System
3) Easy access door or area for easy loading of charcoal & or cleaning out ashes
4) Cooking Grids
5) Accurate Thermometer (to be sure your grill is cooking at the proper consistent temp)
6) Even heat distribution for direct and indirect cooking
7) Ventless Tight fitting Hood (this allows heat & smoke to rotate around your food,
creating even heat distribution and penetration)
We carry Charcoal Grills that meet ALL these points of value.

No Secret to the Sauce..you have the ingredients in your kitchen

Try this next time you need a good basting sauce for any chicken, steak, or other beef:
Take any or all of the following from your fridge or cabinets, blend together and marinate your meat. After marinating use the sauce to spread over your meat on the grill.
Soy sauce-Teryaki sauce-Worcestershire sauce-Catsup-Maple syrup-
Bottled BBQ sauce-Any Steak sauce-A1 Steak sauce.
Blend these together with any proportions for a great sauce. (I usually use just a small amount of mustard…maybe a tablespoon)
This is a great way to use bits and dabs of sauces that are leftover.
There are no wrong ingredients or proportions for this recipe.
ENJOY
Do you have a great marinating recipe to share? Let us hear from you!
