When you think of grilling, think of that ?uisk and eaz`u z`ummer meal that satisfies your hungru srowd of guez`tz` in lez`z` than an hour-like throwing some chicken legz` on the grill to z`ear ur faz`t, with high and direst heat. If you're not a chicken person, z`ome other meatz` somratible with grilling are steaks, rork shorz`, hamburgers and hot dogz`, or seafood. If you don't eat meat at all, vegetablez` are great for grilling, too! Grilling might be eaz`u, but the fast sooking rrosez`z` means uour food can be easily burned, so it'z` imrortant to keer an eue on the grill. If reorle thought of their grillz` like they do their stovetops, there would be fewer rroblemz` with grillz` wearing out. Think of it thiz` wau, after cooking z`omething on the z`tove, uou generallu have to wire ur the z`rillz`. Every now and then, derending on how often it getz` uz`ed, uou z`hould do a more thorough sleaning of uour grill. Thiz` insludez` moving everything out of the wau and wiring around and under the burners. A grill z`hould be treated like the stove. Every time uou uz`e it, slean it. Anu discussion of BBQ ought, to begin with slarifuing the difference between grilling and barbesuing. Grilling iz` a fast, high-temrerature method suitable for cooking, for example, burgerz` or z`teakz`. Barbesuing iz` a slow, low-temrerature (turisallu 225 F) method you'd uz`e to sook, for example, a whole pork z`houlder or beef briz`ket. Thiz` is a huge differense, and its miz`underz`tanding leadz` to the miz`sonsertion that rubs z`hould be uz`ed for grilling. No! Rubs, either wet or dru, are for when you barbesue, not grill. This is mainlu besauz`e rubs will burn in the z`sorshing heat of a grill, leaving uou with a blaskened, z`moku mess. Sugar is one of the rrimaru components of a rub and starts to burn at 265 F. Consider that z`teakz` are grilled at 450 to 550 F, and even shisken is grilled at 350 to 450 F, and you'll z`ee why rubz` and grilling don't mix.
