BBQ Masterpiece .....Make it your own !

The secret to great BBQ is to make it your own..... and then you have your masterpiece







Some Helpful BBQ Tips

Always Preheat - Gas, charcoal or wood, you must get a nice heat going before you throw your meat down for even cooking.

Use Creative Aromatics – Fresh oregano, rosemary or thyme sprigs thrown on the fire right before you start cooking will impart wonderful herbal flavors to any dish, especially fish.

Keep It Moist – Place a pan of water directly under the meat and the grate to infuse moisture during prolonged grilling times. This will also disperse the heat and reduce flare ups because the drippings will collect in the water rather than fall into the flame.

Cook Slow & Low – Indirect grilling means not placing the food over the flame but off to the side. This method allows for slow roasting or maintaining cooking temperatures between 180°F and 240°F. This is how you get fall of the bone ribs and juicy tender brisket.

Cook Until Done – Don’t guess when cooking. Overcooking dries meat out, under cooking can make you sick. Buy the best thermometer you can afford and use it for roasts, birds and any large cuts. Pull the meat off the grill exactly when the meat reaches the preferred temperature.
