If you’re a beginner in the sphere of grilling style of cooking, you do not need to worry. Keep a few things in mind while taking the first step. The first and foremost thing is to buy a grill and know which one is best for your cooking style.

Gas or charcoal?
There are both gas barbecue grill as well as charcoal barbecue grill, and you may choose any one of this depending on your needs. However, there are pros and cons to both the choices. Know these before opting a proper grill.

• Charcoal barbecue grill has full ranges from cost-effective one to larger size for professional use.

How to use?
For charcoal barbecue grill, you need to empty the ashes first so that the debris of the past cooking isn’t attached to the grill. The preheating is needed for both kinds of grills. However, the gas grills turn in easily. For the charcoal barbecue grill, a chimney starter is important. Don’t go for the lighter fluid as it may add the ‘chemical’ flavor in the food. The gas grill must be kept in the heating condition for minimum 10 minutes, whereas a charcoal BBQ grill needs to be kept for at least 20 minutes.

When it’s heated, use a stainless steel or brass wire brush to remove the gunk from the grate. A good scrap is very important before the grilling season. When you’re using the grill, it’s necessary to brush before and after the grilling. After grilling, the accumulated grease and smoke can create rust on the grate and make the grill incompetent for use. If you do not have those brushes, aluminum foils also can do the work.

After cleaning, oil the grate by using an oiled paper towel, wipe it throughout the bars. High smoking temperature-friendly oil is a must. Canola oil can be used for this purpose. It’s important so that the food cannot get attached to it and the cook can get classic grill bars.

Tips for barbecue
