Year Round Grilling Basics

Nowadays, there are different types of barbeque cooking grills for sale on the market. Barbeques are often cooked in two well known proficiencies. The first one is where we utilized direct heat in cooking meat and the other is where we use radiant heat in cooking meat.

Natural gas grilling, wood grilling and charcoal grilling are examples of cooking barbeque meat with the use of direct heat. Cooking barbeque in these different types produces different results. For instance, wood grilling gives a different taste to the barbeque meat so it is essential to select the type of firewood to be burn. Mesquite, guava, maple, pecan, cherry, apple, and oak are usually utilized in wood grilling. Conifers are not advisable in wood grilling as these types of wood produces undesirable flavors.

We also have the charcoal grilling. Charcoal grilling in comparison to wood grilling gives you more control and flexibility over your barbeque cooking. Charcoal briquettes and lump charcoals can be use in charcoal grilling.

Then there is the natural gas grilling. Most people prefer natural gas grilling as this has several advantages. It is relatively easy to light a fire in a natural gas grilling. It is also very manageable as the fire can be controlled by using a switch knob. It also has a built in thermometer in order for the person who is cooking to know the correct cooking temperature when grilling. Cooking the food in the correct temperature produces a wonderful outcome and taste.

Using radiant heat in cooking barbeque is another well known technique. The most popular radiant heat method would have to be smoking. The smoke circulates inside a container while the meat is enclosed in it. You can either utilize charcoal, wood or even gas as fuel. With this type of method, the meat is nowhere in contact with the fire.
