General Charcoal Grilling Tips:

-Stack charcoal in a pyramid shape for easier lighting with crumbled newspaper. This will allow enough oxygen for fire ignition. If using lighter fluid, use it sparingly for safety and to avoid flavor transfer to grilled items.

-Have patience. Allow at least 30 minutes for grill to properly heat up. Grill is ready once charcoal is almost totally covered with gray ash with a red glow.

- Direct or Indirect Heat -- If you are cooking items like hamburgers, hot dogs, or shrimp that take under 25 minutes to cook use direct heat. Items like extra-thick london broil, whole chicken, pork loin or foods with higher fat content, user indirect heat otherwise the items will likely burn and remain under cooked inside.

Good Luck and Happy Grilling
