Cooking Tips for Outdoor Chefs
Filed Under grills | Leave a Comment
Bob Alexander asked:
Outdoor cooking isn’t for everyone. It takes a person who is willing to put his reputation as a grilling superstar on the line each time he lights a gas grill or tosses a match onto a flammable pile of charcoal. that the people he feeds will appreciate the food he has cooked. Each time he (or she) steps out of his home into his back yard, armed with copper brush, tongs and forks; he faces a challenge to beat his best individual performance on the backyard grill.
Most of the outdoor chefs I’ve run across are men. It seems that women had rather stay in the kitchen. I think it is just a ploy to get the men out of the house for a while. The ladies give them the idea that cooking on the grill is almost important as breathing, especially if it’s done by him! That will get the guy outside with his chest puffed up, carrying a can of charcoal starter and a match.
First rule! If you’re using charcoal and you’re using a liquid lighter, know what you are dousing on those briquettes! It is really not the volume of the whoooomp that determines whether your coals will burn consistently. Never use gasoline, lacquer thinner, lantern fluid or any of those things that will blow you out of your shoes. Stick with charcoal lighter.
One big tip! Never use kerosene to start your charcoal! No matter how long you let your charcoal burn, no matter how much more briquettes on the coals, your rib eyes will have that subtle aroma and taste of kerosene. Your grill will smell like a piece of construction equipment. It’s best to stay with prescribed fuels that don’t stink.
There are other methods to ignite your charcoal. Use the chimney type device where you put the charcoal in an inverted cone and push a couple of sheets of newspaper in the bottom. Put a match to the paper in the bottom and the draft of the “chimney” will make the coals burn. I have never been able to keep that apparatus around the house for more than a summer due to rust, being stepped on or having the neighbors’ borrow it.
There is also the electric heating iron category of charcoal starters. Just plug it into an outlet, let it get red hot and stick it under the charcoal. It doesn’t take long to get a pile of charcoal glowing and shimmering with heat. You don’t have to worry about the whooomp either! The heating iron works well but it’s just not the same as seeing flames shoot as high as your house. You only get that with a liquid lighter that you’re not supposed to use in the first place.
Let’s talk about charcoal grills versus gas grills. I use both in my back yard barbequing. Cooking with gas is almost like cooking on the gas stove in the kitchen. Boring! Maybe that’s why I prefer charcoal. It’s just manlier to battle the flames and rescue a steak just in the nick of time, from being overly cooked. That’s the way outdoor cooking is supposed to be; a man conquering the elements!
Really, cooking on a gas grill is a nice and comfortable way to grill steaks, chickens, burgers, chops and vegetables. One of the areas in which the gas grills are deficient is smoking meat. As far as I know, you just can’t do that with today’s grills. You have to have a smoker. I prefer charcoal smokers of course, but I’ve had excellent results with electric smokers also.
Smokers, both electric and charcoal, are set up pretty much in the same way. The ones that I use are tall round ones that have a trap door opening on the side so you can add charcoal or water in the water bowl. There are other kinds of course and you can find them at a hardware store or outdoor market place. The costs are going to range from roughly $75 to $500 depending on the one you choose. I think most of them are good, but you can usually get just as much satisfaction from a cheap one instead of the high priced smokers. Of course there is the prestige of getting one of those sleek, black ones with the chrome smoke pipes. Gives you sort of a chill just to think of owning one of those, doesn’t it?
Meat smoked on an electric grill is great if you have some wood smoke flavor to make it tasty. I know you can buy little cans of wood chips to add some character to your cooking. Simply pour a little water in the can, set the can on the lava rocks in the bottom of the smoker, and when starts to simmer, you have hickory, cherry or pecan steam permeating your Boston butt! This is the city folks’ way of making barbeque.
Another big tip! If you’ve left the electric smoker outside uncovered, check to make sure the lava rocks are dry. If it has rained since your last cookout, chances are that the bottom of the smoker is covered in water. If so, don’t plug in the heating iron! It’s not a wise move because you will blow the iron up! Drain the water out of the base first, let the lava rocks dry, then have a safe barbeque.
My personal favorite is the charcoal smoker. It’s really not hard to use, though a lot of people seem to think it’s some kind of a miracle that the meat I smoke tastes so good. Some even think there is a secret to my success when I cook a pork loin or Boston butts and wind up with some of the most delicious barbeque you have ever tasted. Some folks even think there is a secret ingredient that I haven’t shared with anyone!
I usually smoke three or four Boston butts at a time. It’s easy. First I load the coal pan with charcoal, and then use a charcoal lighter fluid to start the coals. You could use one of the instant light charcoals if you wish, but just make sure than when you add charcoal, you use the regular briquettes or your meat will taste funny.
After the coals are lit and the flames have died, fill up the metal water bowl with about a quart of water. This helps keep the meat moist. Next lay the meat on the two racks of the smoker. I salt and pepper the meat liberally, and then put the lid back on the smoker and I’m finished for about an hour.
For three Boston butts, I usually let them cook for about 12 hours, adding charcoal and hickory chunks to the hot coals about every hour and a half. Some chefs soak the hickory in water for thirty minutes or so before adding them to the coals. I prefer to lay the wood chunks on the live coals. The dry wood smoking and burning will give you a mild taste of hickory, not the smell and taste of a burning barn! When the meat reaches 180 degrees on the meat the thermometer, take it off and tear it apart with forks. This way separates the pork easily. You can add barbeque sauce at this time or serve it on the table.
There is one ingredient so unique, so necessary to cooking good barbeque. It’s PATIENCE! From the moment you light the fire until you take the meat off the grill, allow yourself allow yourself enough time to do the job properly. Most people don’t do that. We are a society of instant gratification. If we want something, we want it now! That just won’t work when you’re trying for the best tasting barbeque you can cook.

Peter Gilbert asked:
There is a big difference between going shopping for the barbeque grill you buy to grill your steaks, burgers and hotdogs on at home, and the barbeque grill that you go shopping for barbeque grill for tailgate parties. They have the same properties for the most part, such as flame, charcoal, and metal. That’s where the similarities end.
When shopping for barbeque grills for tailgate parties, you are going to be looking for something that you can do some stainless steel cooking with. The barbeque grill system you are looking for will require some cash, so make sure you have at least $6,000 with you when you go shopping for barbeque grill for tailgating parties.
A barbeque grills, that is used for tailgating parties after a sports event of any kind, or for any flea market concession stand where you want to sell drinks, hotdogs, burgers, and perhaps corn-on-the-cob. When shopping for barbeque grills for tailgating parties you are looking for a grill that has at least six burners, and is attached to a black-steel painted trailer on two wheels that you can tow behind your car with ease.
Many of the styles you will find when you go shopping for barbeque grills for tailgate parties will be made of stainless steel and feature a insulated stainless steel wells where you can keep an ample supply of cold beer, cokes and cold dishes that you will serve party goes from the back end of your grill.
These mobile grills are ready to get the party rolling in about 10 minutes. They can fit in on any type of vehicle that is suitable to mount a trailer hitch to. Some people do remove the handles for the grill cooking knobs before getting on the road, because it would be a shame to arrive at your destination without them.
When shopping for barbeque grill for tailgate parties, you want to look for a grill top that is at least 48 inches and is a roll dome top. The cooking service of the grill should be over 1000 square inches. That might sound rather large, but when you have over 1000 people lined up for some of your barbeque, and they are wiling to pay you about $7 or more per sandwich, and more for ribs, then it would be a shame not to have enough cooking space to prepare good food for them to eat.
When shopping for barbeque grills for tailgate parties, you should look for a cooking grate that will heat to 800 degrees quickly. Tailgate partiers are revving to go at a NASCAR race and they want their food fixed fast and properly. An 800 degree temperature will take care of all those requirements.
You should have dual 30 lb propane tanks on the barbeque grill you are planning to purchase. When shopping for barbeque grills for tailgate parties, you should make sure that you have stainless steel cooking grates, two stainless steel insulated coolers with a drain and a grill that is designed for convection cooking.

Learning How to Cook on the Grill

Jack Sands asked:
Summertime is rapidly approaching. This means it is time to begin preparing meals without heating the house whenever possible. If you haven’t considered the value of cooking on the grill in the past, perhaps now is a great time to adjust your way of thinking.
Cooking on the grill is a great way to keep the heat of cooking outside your home as well as to bring the family together for the entire cooking process. Moms read: this is a great way to get dad to help out with meal preparation. While this is said somewhat in jest, there is some truth to the fact that men are much more inclined to slave away over a hot grill than a hot stove. More importantly, most of the mess of cooking on the grill remains outside your kitchen. I don’t know about you, but that is a huge bonus for me, when it comes to cooking.
Cooking on the grill is also a great way to get the kids involved in the meal preparation and clean up process. We like to use disposable plates when grill cooking and keep the dining al fresco. If you are hoping for instant family unity over the picnic table you might want to think again but there isn’t anything quite like it when it comes to not worrying about spills or dropped food as you can rest fairly certain that the animals will take care of anything that gets left behind.
Even small children can help when cooking on the grill by bringing utensils to the grill, holding plates, and ’setting’ the picnic table for your dining experience. If you intend to do a good deal of cooking on the grill you may want to invest in some portable and ‘kid friendly’ containers for things such as condiments, napkins, plastic ware, and tablecloth holders. Be sure to find containers that can handle a decent gust of wind without flying off too. These may be a little heavier for your little ones to hold but they won’t be nearly as difficult to chase when blowing across the lawn.
Cooking on the grill is a great way to enjoy nature after a long day of work. Be careful that you do not reserve this as a weekend event as you will find you miss out on some of the relaxing qualities it can bring to your midweek slump. One thing that can definitely be said about grill cooking is that the selections are almost as limitless as they are when cooking on the stove. You must use your imagination for maximum effect though very few meats and vegetables are truly off limits when it comes to cooking on the grill.
In addition to cooking meats on the grill, it is important to keep in mind that you can also cook all kinds of fresh fruit and vegetables on the grill as well. You should also keep in mind the awesome side dishes that go great with grilled foods such as baked beans, potato salad, and nice cool deserts and pies.
Cooking on the grill is a great way to bring family and friends together. The next time you plan to have a get together why not make it a night of cooking on the grill? You can have the best of all worlds with no muss, no fuss clean up and great food with good friends. Cooking on the grill is certainly a great way to get the neighbors out and about. There’s nothing on earth that can quite compare to the aroma of meat, fruit, and vegetables grilling over hot charcoal. If you don’t remember and your mouth isn’t watering just reading about, it’s been far too long since your last barbecue experience.
The most important thing to remember about cooking on the grill is that it should be an experience rather than a chore. Most of us truly enjoy the thought of having a good dinner under the sun or stars (whichever applies in your case). If you haven’t tried this in a while, it’s time to dust off the grill and refresh your memory and your taste buds.

If you haven’t tried this in a while, it’s time to dust off the grill and refresh your memory and your taste buds.

On weekends, the whole family loves to enjoy a bonding time. Most of us choose to have a vacation on our favorite beach spots and parks, while some would like to go for a movie time and watch the latest box office hit. Many of us may still want to go fishing or outdoor camping, and some would like to have some thrilling adventure, like rafting, or mountain hiking. These are only some of the perfect family getaways and activities you and the rest of your clan can do on weekends.
But what else could be better than just to stay at home, and enjoy a very special barbeque party in the backyard? A lot of us do! This is because it will not only make you spend less, but you and the rest of your family can also be assured of the same quality of time and blissful moments like any other family activities can give.
A barbeque party is not complete if there will be no meat or steak as the main ingredient, the people who will be eating it, and most of all, the grill, which is the most essential cooking apparatus to have.
Over the years, many American families hold a barbeque party with other guest invited, like their neighbors and other close friends. The most common type of grill that was used then in those early times is the charcoal grill. And since many people have been complaining a lot regarding the use of this, like it creates too much smoke that makes you smell like one of the grilled steak, and you cannot easily regulate the heat within the grill itself, many of these families are turning towards the use of a new type of grill technology, which is the gas grill.
The gas grill is easier and more convenient to use compared to the charcoal type of grill. It does not generate too much smoke, and you can be able to regulate the desired heat level you want to use in cooking your grilled steak specialty. In addition, this type of grill is easy to manipulate, because it only works with fuel sources, such as propane and natural gas.
If you are worried on how safe it is to use, you should not be so much anxious about it, because modern technologies used in creating a gas grill have ensured that there will be no gas leaks in the tubing, and there will be regulator that functions to easily control the flame or heat. So it is simple, at the same time safe to use for your barbeque party.
The only disadvantage it has compared to the traditional charcoal type grill is that, it can cause you more bucks. But even if it is a little expensive, you can still get the best out of it, and you will be assured that your steak will have a presentable and delicious finish.
Now, family life will be more enjoyable during barbeque party or any grilled steak party, because the gas grill has been invented. It will surely bring us ease and comfort in our life and happiness at home.
