COOKING TECHNIQUES
Smoking: Less than 275°F (135°C)
This classic form of barbecue involves indirect cooking of larger
cuts of meat at low temperatures (less than 275°F (135°C) for a
relatively long time (often 4+ hours). Using charcoal and wood
chips infuses slow cooked meats and other items with smoky
barbecue flavor and yields incredibly tender results.
Smoke Roasting: 275°F-400°F (135°C-205°C)
Also known as indirect grilling, this is similar setup to smoking;
smoke roasting is an accelerated version of the same principles. It
works well for more conventional roasts, chickens and items that
are frequently oven roasted. The combination of smoke and
cooking time creates great flavor in a shorter time than true
smoking.
Direct grilling: 400°F (205°C) or more
Direct – as in directly above the burning charcoal and wood chips.
This method is the traditional backyard cook-out or barbecue.
for smaller items – steaks, chops, burgers, vegetables. The high heat
sears the exterior while cooking the interior.

Preparing the Perfect Steak
Trim excess fat from the steaks. In a heavy, resealable plastic bag
combine the marinade ingredients. Marinate the steaks for 1 hour
at room temperature or up to 24 hours in the refrigerator. If
refrigerating, bring steaks close to room temperature 1 hour before
grilling for more even cooking.
