How to achieve the best result on the BBQ

Preparing food on a BBQ grill may not be an art, but it is a craft. And you know the saying: Practice makes perfect. So, start the BBQ grill and begin to cook – you may not know everything from the start, but with a little effort, you will soon become an experienced grill chef producing all sorts of excellent grilled food for your friends and family. Before starting the BBQ grill, you need to decide which kind of grill you want. Maybe a charcoal grill or the more modern type with gas is for you? You can also have a grill for wooden pellets or an electric grill, or maybe you are going back to basics, making food on the grates on a fire bowl. All the various grills have something special, but you can produce some fabulous food on them – if you know how. In other words, it is up to you to choose.

Grilled food, like so many other crafts, is a question of preparation

When making grilled food, ensure you have everything you need to make delicious food. If you have a charcoal BBQ grill, ensure you have enough high-quality charcoal. If you prefer a gas grill, make sure you have enough gas, and so on. If you like smoked food, you must find the best flavour for the wood you use to infuse the food with the right taste. It may be apple, hickory, or alder wood, to mention a few. You can start planning the food when all this is ready. Like ordinary cooking, find good quality food, and you will have the best result. Often, you must marinate the meat and more to make the food tasty and succulent. Another way to make the food taste great is a rub – a pasta of spices and more that you put on the meat or other things you want to barbecue. You can also brush a marinade or a flavoured oil on the items on the grill while preparing it.

Keep a BBQ grill diary and improve a little every time

When preparing for beautiful food experiences from the BBQ grill, you can find inspiration online or in various books if you are so inclined. There will be an overwhelming number of recipes and advice about all types of BBQ grills online. What kind of BBQ grill should you choose, how do you get it started, how do you prepare grilled food in general, how do you prepare specific types, and what do you mix to make the most of the various ingredients? Again, the internet is excellent, but it will never replace your experience. As you know, taste and scent are not yet available online, so you must get cooking – quite literally. And when you do, you will learn how to get better – what works and what does not. If you make a BBQ grill diary, you will know what to do a little better each time – and you can save the best recipes for next time. Make a book or go online – that is not so important. But gathering experience and improving will benefit you and everyone you will cook for in the future.
