You’ve probably guessed it by now, but here at Thompsons of Smithfield we love a good BBQ. However it's so easy to get it wrong - should you use direct or indirect heat, how long should you heat up the coals for?!? Hopefully these tips we’ve compiled will help you kick off BBQ season we a bang - we mean a good one of course, not the kind where the BBQ blows up!!

BBQ Party

Make sure charcoal and gas grills are up to temperature before cooking.
Be patient with charcoal. It takes 30 minutes to reach cooking temperature.
Always cook with the lid down, and only take off the lid to add, turn or remove food.
Keep the air vents at the top and bottom of a charcoal grill open while cooking.
Grilling times in charts and recipes vary depending on the amount, size and shape of food – and even the weather. Allow a little more cooking time on colder days.
Trim excess fat from steaks, chops and roasts – this helps avoid flare-ups.
Soak wooden skewers in cold water for at least 30 minutes before using them, so that they don’t burn on the BBQ.
If your cooking grate is crowded with food, cook for longer than the specified time.
Make sure that individual pieces of food do not touch, so the food cooks on all sides.
Avoid frequently turning or peeking at the food, as heat escapes when you open the lid. For direct cooking, turning the food halfway through the cooking time is usually sufficient.
Don’t use a fork to pierce and turn small cuts of meat or all the juices will flow out.
Many people think that grilling meat for a short time at a high temperature ‘seals in’ the juices. However, this just burns the meat on the outside, leaving it raw in the centre.
For best results, sear meat for a few minutes over direct heat, then move it to indirect heat for the rest of the grilling time.
