Lighting up the grill is like extending a dinner invitation to the neighborhood.  As the scents drift up, and around, but you are the lucky one.  This is your grill, your time to shine, all that is necessary is a bit of know how, and little experience.  Before beginning make certain that everything is close at hand.  Having an outdoor kitchen helps in this aspect of organization, with a refrigerator, outdoor cabinets and counter for proper workspace will help, but if you are going from indoor kitchen to outdoor grill, organization is a must.  With everything in place, you won’t need to worry when it comes time to flip the burgers and the steaks.  Get the coals heated up and set the grill over the hot coals, and once that is warm you can brush off any bits that may have been left behind from the last time you used it.  Once the grill is hot and clean brush it with a little vegetable oil, and you are ready to go.

If the grill gets too hot, you can put the cover on the grill and close the vents, the oxygen will be cut a bit and the grill will cool down.  You can spritz the coals with water, but stand back so as to not get hit will ashes.  Fat from certain meat may drip onto the coals call a flare up.  You may control this to an extent by turning and moving the meat from time to time.  There are two ways to get the flavors of a smoker on your grill.  One way is in how you prepare your coals.    You can place a few extra on top and them move all of your food to the other side of the grill, allowing it to cook slower and absorb the flavor.  Another way to create a smoker, is to place a tin of water on the bottom and arrange the coals around that.  The meat is then placed on the area above the cooler water, which too will slow the cooking time.  These techniques work great with everything from BBQ ribs to grilled vegetables, and is a great way to the most of your BBQ grilling days.

Making the choice to move from indoors to an outdoor kitchen is a fantastic experience in learning and discovery.  At the end of all the work, there are always glorious new flavors, and thankful eaters, so it’s never a fruitless endeavor.  There is always more to learn, too.  As you start to work with your new kitchen, you’ll soon come to know the joys of sharing recipes and the sheer pleasure of your new experiments.  Cooking with our drop-in grills adds another touch that will make a huge difference in how you prepare food.

One of the greatest advantages to a drop-in grill is the level of precision that suddenly becomes part of your experience.  The heat is extremely well-controlled, and when this factor is no longer a variable, you’ll be free to experiment with flavor.  Fish can be especially tricky in any circumstances, and cooking fish on a grill requires an even greater precision.  With our drop-in grills, this precision comes easy, because you can always be sure that the temperature is exact, and the grill is always ready.

With fish, the level of heat is extremely important.  Some types of fish do better cooked slowly, and others need the fast blast that other meats require to make a mouth-watering meal.  Once you’ve determined the right degree of heat for your fish of choice, then the whole question about cooking fish with precision becomes focused on the sauce.  Here, a whole new world can open up.  It’s not simply lime with garlic, although those are always staples.  Feel free to experiment with different flavors for the sauce.  With salmon, different kinds of squash, or oranges and mangos, can add a whole new dimension to the taste.  Experimentation really is the key, but with the drop-in grill, you will be sure it’s cooked perfectly, and you’ll be able to dazzle your guests with the various new flavors you can bring to the table.
