Get Ready To Grill Brandon Orr Well, that time of year has come yet again. Summer season, great weather, and lots of good vibes. This summer would be a lot different though. Coming off of a rough, lonely at times and quarantined 2020, everyone can definitely use some good company, and with company, you have to have some good food! And backyard grilled food soothes the soul. In this article, I’m going to share some simple tips that will set your soul On fire. (Not literally but you know what I mean) The first tip I have is the most important tip. And surprisingly, it has nothing to do with food. It has to do with you and your environment. Time to set with mood, so before you pick up any food or seasoning, go Grab your favorite drink, or set your favorite Pandora station or Apple Music playlist. This will help clear your head and put your mind at ease from any stresses from the day. Now that our mind is together, Next, let’s get our canvas ready. What’s on the menu? What meat(s), veggies, etc. Get the grill hot and ready. Next, Spray your grill grates with grill spray or whatever oil you have you can wipe it down so foods don’t stick. I’m a big fan of Lump Charcoal over the standard. It burns better and leaves a more smoke taste in your food. Try it. When grilling you can be creative. That’s the great part of grilling and cooking in general, you are limitless and there are no rules. You have a blank canvas and can season however you’d like. The only rule is don’t burn your food. If you’re looking for a more ultra smokey and packed with flavor meat, cook your food on a low temp possibly around 225 degrees or so. If you’re looking for more of a grilled or seared meat, go with high heat I would say around 450+. Control your temperature with the vents on your grill. Open them to allow more air and increase your heat. Close the vents
