Biomass briquettes are being extensively used to fuel cooking activities. Let us put the briquettes to test to get some barbeque done. Briquettes are a great choice for barbecuing; they get you ready in real quick time, and the heat lasts a good deal longer. Briquettes are apt for that low heat, slow cooking, which is best to barbeque meat.

Mentioned below are some tips to get your grilling right. Remember, grilling takes a lot of finesse. You can never get it right, the very first time.

Cleaning up the barbeque –  A clean grill ensures that the airflow is apt for ideal cooking. If the grill has been used recently, take off the excess ash. Ensure the grill is neat and clean by giving it a good scrub with hot water and dish wash.

Stash up the briquettes – Once you are done cleaning up the grill, you could jump into the task of preparing the briquettes to get the fire started. The rack in the bottom of the barbeque holds the briquettes, while the grill itself is the place where the meat is placed. Ensure that he briquettes you are laying on the bottom rack covers up the entire of the available space. Some overlapping briquettes are fine. Once this foundation is ready, you could stack up more briquettes over it. Ensure that the vents in the bottom of the grill are left open. Stacking up the briquettes itself is considered an art. The idea is to maximize the heat that gets channelized through the stack so that there is an even light. You could build up a small pyramid in the center of the grill. Once the stack is ready, douse the stack with lighter fluid.

Get the fire started – Once the lighter fuel to the desired levels has been poured over the stack, you could get ready to light up the stack. Ensure that the fire is started from the bottom and opposite to where you are standing. Setting fire from the bottom will ensure that you do not end up burning your arm. Once the fire is lit, you could now stand back and enjoy the fire.

The biomass briquettes will be ready in 20 to 30 minutes time. The flame will burn out in a few minutes. The flames getting burnt out is not an indication that the briquettes did not light, the embers need to smolder. The briquettes will turn white as they burn. You would also notice a red glow coming from deep within the pyramid. This is a good indication.

Spread it out – Spread the coals over the entire surface of the grill. The idea is to get an even heat without any flares. Let the heat sterilize the grill, and get it ready for cooking. Allowing the grill to heat up for over 10 minutes will ensure that any residual bacteria from the previous grilling session are burnt off. At this point of time, your barbeque is ready for cooking meat.

Bring in the meat – Ensure that the meat you intend to grill has reached room temperature. The meat should be thoroughly marinated.  The details of the marination mix is left to your taste, choice, and liking. There are numerous mouth-watering recipes out there for you to choose from. Choose you pick, and get the mix right. Put the meat on the grill, and allow it to stay there. Based on the cut of the meat, the cooking time differs. Do not subject the meat to frequent agitation; it may not cook well. It is best to lay the meat, cover it with a lid, and leave. Do not place the meat directly over a flame. It is best to place it over an ember. Grilling is best done when the cooking is slow and steady. Placing the meat over a flame will result in the meat getting charred, while the inside will remain uncooked. It is best to limit the flipping over of the meat to just two times, and not any time more.

Rest the meat awhile – Once you have taken the meat off the grill, it is best to keep it aside for a while. It is observed that cutting into meat immediately after it is off the grill results in drier, and tougher meat. It is best to allow some time for the juices to settle in, and the wait will be worth it. A few minutes is all that it takes. The meat will continue to cook even after it is taken off the grill, so setting it aside for a while is definitely a good idea, and the meat will taste a great deal better.
