How to Barbecue Like a Pro
Start with a clean grill.
- Use high-quality wood, chips or pellets for smoke.
- Brush the hot grill with vegetable oil or spray with oil away from the flame to keep food from sticking.
- Use tongs or a spatula when handling meat. Do not pierce meat with a fork; this allows flavorful juices to escape, causing the meat to dry out.
- Turn meat just once to sear in flavor.
- Baste with sauce in the last quarter of barbecuing time. Be creative with sauces, and don't be afraid to try different spices. But when using sugar-based sauces, wait until the end of cooking time to baste, as sugar content can cause charring.
- Do not add salt until meat is fully cooked. Salt can cause meat to become dry and tough.
- Let meat stand for a few minutes before serving for a juicier flavor.
- Clean the grill while it's still hot for your next barbecue.
