Avoid safety problems during use.
BBQ grill fire making steps
Place the charcoal
Lay out the charcoal in a pyramid shape on the charcoal grid inside the best charcoal BBQ grill. This shape allows the charcoal to come into full contact with the air, making it easier to light and burn.
Light the charcoal
Prepare strips of paper by lighting them and placing them in the outdoor barbecue kitchen. As the paper strip burns, the heat is gradually transferred to the charcoal and it begins to burn.
Preheating the grill
Once the charcoal is lit, place the charcoal on the COR-TEN BBQ grill and preheat for 10-15 minutes. Use a thermometer to monitor the heat to ensure an even temperature.
Reach grilling temperature
Place on the grill grid or grill pan
When the charcoal begins to burn with a small amount of black smoke coming out, place the grill grid or grill pan on the BBQ grill. At this point, the heat begins to distribute evenly across the grill grid or pan.
Judging the Temperature
After 10 - 15 minutes of continuous burning, the open flame gradually decreases or disappears, and a white ash appears on the surface of the charcoal, which indicates that the ideal grilling temperature has been reached. At this point, place your hand over the barbecue grill grid and you can clearly feel the heat.
Grilling Food
Arrange food evenly
Arrange the food to be grilled evenly in the center of the bbq grill stove grid so that the food is heated as evenly as possible. When arranging the food, pay attention to keep a certain distance between the food to avoid sticking to each other and affecting the grilling effect.
Turn over at the right time
During the grilling process, turn the food over at the right time. Depending on the type and thickness of the food, turn it over at a reasonable time. For example, thin cuts of meat may need to be flipped in a few minutes, while thicker steaks need to be grilled for a longer period of time before being flipped. When turning, use appropriate tools, such as tongs and spatulas, and move gently to avoid breaking the food.
Controlling Grilling Time
Grilling time varies for different foods. Meat generally takes a longer time to ensure that the interior is cooked through; vegetables and seafood take a relatively shorter time to maintain their tender texture. You can accurately determine whether the food is cooked through by observing the changes in color and texture of the food, as well as using a thermometer to measure the internal temperature.

III. How to Choose BBQ Grill Cooking Materials?
Meat
Meat is the main character of barbecue. Lamb kebabs are loved by the public for their rich meat aroma and unique flavor; lamb loin kebabs are mellow and tasty; beef kebabs are firm and chewy; chicken wings are burnt on the outside and tender on the inside, and a bite of them is juicy and tender. These are all common and popular choices.
Choosing fresh meat is crucial. Stale meat not only tastes bad, but can also be a health hazard. When buying marinated meat skewers at the supermarket, make sure you double check the shelf life to ensure the ingredients are fresh.
If you plan to make your own kebabs, avoid using frozen meat as it tends to lose moisture and nutrients during the thawing process, which affects the taste. When cutting meat, the size should be moderate, not too large, otherwise it is difficult to cook the inside; not too broken, otherwise it is easy to burn. When marinating, use seasonings such as salt, monosodium glutamate, ginger juice, onion juice, etc., mix well and marinate for a period of time, so that the meat can fully absorb the seasonings. After that, thread it with bamboo skewers and the kebabs are ready.

Fish and Seafood
Fish and seafood add a rich flavor to the barbecue. Live fish is delicious and nutritious; fresh squid is Q-bouncy; live shrimp is sweet and savory; hairy crabs are full of crab roe; and fresh scallop skewers have a tantalizing aroma. These are all excellent choices for grilled fish and seafood.
Freshness is the key when choosing fish and seafood. Live fish should be scaled, gutted, washed and marinated in salt and wine to remove the fishy smell and add flavor. Fresh squid and cuttlefish tend to curl up when grilled directly, so use bamboo or toothpicks to hold their shape.
If you want to save time and effort, buy processed shrimp skewers, fresh shellfish skewers and other semi-finished products from the supermarket. These semi-finished products are pre-treated, quality-assured and convenient.
Vegetables and fruits
Vegetables and fruits can bring a refreshing taste to the barbecue and balance the greasiness. Potato is a regular guest in barbecue, peeled and sliced, grilled on the grill until golden brown, crispy and glutinous; corn is sweet and juicy, grilled directly with the skin or peeled and grilled have a special flavor; sweet potato peeled and sliced, grilled sweet and soft; yam choose a thin, taro choose a smaller, simple grilled, the texture of pink sticky. Green vegetables after washing directly roasted, retaining the freshness of vegetables.
Garlic has a unique flavor and antiseptic properties after roasting, making it ideal for barbecuing. Place garlic on the grill with the skin on, and grill until the outer skin is slightly wrinkled and the cloves are softened, and when peeled, they have a rich garlic flavor and soft texture.
Why not try grilling some fruits and nuts? Apples are sweet and sour when roasted, bananas are roasted until the skin is slightly charred and the inside is soft and sweet, and walnuts are roasted for a stronger aroma. However, note that chestnuts tend to “explode” when roasted, so you need to cut a small slit in advance to ensure safe roasting.
Material Preparation Tips
In order to be more relaxed when grilling, it is best to process all the food at home. Finish peeling and slicing before departure, and try not to do it in the field. Because the environment in the field is complicated, it is inconvenient to operate, and the sliced food is easy to oxidize and change color if left for a long time.
Food preparation should be rich in variety, with meat and vegetables, to meet the needs of different people's tastes. At the same time, the amount of food should be prepared reasonably according to the number of people; too little will leave people wanting more, while too much will lead to waste.
