Barbecuing using a charcoal barbecue grill is definitely one of the best ways there is to barbecue. Of course there are several other ways to barbecue, like grilling, or using a gas grill. But barbecue grilling enthusiast will insist that using charcoal is one of the best ways to get a natural flavorful taste when barbecuing. To give you a quick overview of what a charcoal barbecue grill is, it is simply a barbecue grill that uses charcoal as its main source of heat in order to cook the meat slowly and thoroughly. This is one of the reasons why it is favored over other methods of cooking meat. Cooking the meat in low heat insurers that it will be very flavorful.

In order for you to ensure that you are using your charcoal barbecue grill to the best of its ability, you need to know exactly how to prepare a grill before using it and also how to clean it once you have finished with it. In this article I am going to give you a few pointers you can use to prepare your barbecue grill for use with charcoal.

Do not put charcoal lighter fluid on charcoals that are already hot

The reason you don’t want to put charcoal lighter fluid on charcoal that are already hot is because you may end up causing an unnecessary flare up. This can be very dangerous as it may cause you to suffer unnecessary burns. There is another method you can use that is much safer.

How to do this properly

What you want to do is pour a little charcoal lighter fluid over the charcoals and let it absorb for a few minutes. I would say about 10 minutes is optimal. If you do this you won’t have to worry about trying to relight cold after a lighter fluid runs out and the fire dies. This way you will not have to worry about applying charcoal lighter fluid to already hot coals.

How to know charcoals are ready to use

A really good way to know that your charcoal is ready to use, then check them a few minutes after you have applied the charcoal lighter fluid and lit a barbecue grill. If you see that the majority of the charcoals are white hot and ashy then you know that you are ready to apply the meat for cooking. Applying the meat too soon to a charcoal barbecue grill will result in certain areas of the grill being hotter than others; this will cause your meat to cook unevenly. So make sure that the charcoals are white hot before applying the food.

A neat little trick

Another neat little trick you can use to see if your charcoals are ready for use is to hold your hand over your grill and see how long you are able to hold it there. If you are able to hold it there for more than 2 seconds then it is probably not hot enough. If you cannot hold it there for more than 2 seconds then it is hot enough.

Charcoal barbecue grills continue to be the one and only choice for a lot of people who are serious about barbecuing. The meat that it produces and the excellent flavor are absolutely classic and mouthwatering.

3Needs better attachment options
By Kaiger
The cover works fine. It’s a grill cover, so there’s not a whole lot of innovation to be had. I however live in an area with wind storms, so I woke up one morning after a storm to find my grill naked, the cover nowhere to be found. I imagine it’s somewhere in the Puget sound wedged in an Orca’s blowhole. Some simple elastic on the bottom or grommet holes for bungees would have saved a whale.

5Must have for your Grill
By J Smith
I purchased this as a replacement for the off brand cover I initially bought that tore after about 6 months of use. The Weber cover is durable and sturdy. Simply a must have for your charcoal grill. It has kept mine looking brand new for almost 8 years and the cover is still in great condition as well.

4Basic but a lot better than standard covering
By Jason Pitt
I had the standard Weber kettle cover in place until the premium one arrived. The standard cover was very thin and I was always waiting for it to rip while removing/placing it. The premium one is much thicker and seems like it should hold up well. It is a little shorter than I would like it since it barely covers the lower holding rack. Otherwise pay the little extra for the premium cover.
