Kamado Grilling is a beloved pastime for many people, and for good reason. There's something about the smoky flavor and char of grilled food that just can't be beat. Whether you're a seasoned grill master or just starting out, there's always something new to learn when it comes to grilling. In this ultimate guide, we'll cover everything you need to know to grill like a pro.
Before you start grilling, it's important to have the right equipment. There are a few different types of grills to choose from, each with their own benefits and drawbacks.
Kamado Charcoal grills are the traditional option, and many people swear by their smoky flavour. They can be a bit more time-consuming to use, as you'll need to light the charcoal and let it heat up before you start cooking. However, they're generally less expensive than other options and can be a good choice for those on a budget.
Gas grills are a popular choice for their convenience. They heat up quickly and are easy to control, making them a good choice for those who want to get grilling right away. They can be more expensive upfront, but you'll save money on fuel in the long run.
Kamado Electric grills are another option, particularly for those who live in apartments or have limited outdoor space. They're easy to use and clean, but they may not provide the same level of smoky flavor as other types of grills.
If you're looking for a grill that can do it all, a Kamado BBQ Club may be the way to go. These versatile grills are made of ceramic and are designed to retain heat, making them great for both grilling and smoking. They can be a bit pricier upfront, but many people find them worth the investment for their versatility and ability to produce excellent results.
Once you've chosen your grill, it's important to prep it properly before cooking. This will help ensure that your food cooks evenly and doesn't stick to the grill.
If you're using a charcoal grill, start by lighting the charcoal and allowing it to heat up for about 20-30 minutes. Once the coals are ashed over, you can use a grill brush to scrape off any leftover bits from previous cooks.
If you're using a gas grill, make sure to check the gas level and ensure that the connections are secure. Then, turn the burners on high for about 10-15 minutes to allow the grill to heat up. Use a grill brush to scrub the grates clean before cooking.
Regardless of the type of grill you're using, it's a good idea to oil the grates before cooking. This will help prevent sticking and ensure that your food cooks evenly. Simply dip a paper towel in oil and use tongs to rub it over the grates.
When it comes to grilling, the type of meat you choose can make a big difference in the end result. Thicker cuts of meat, such as steaks and chops, tend to do well on the grill, as do burgers and sausages. For best results, choose cuts of meat that are at least an inch thick.
Marinating your meat before grilling can add flavor and help tenderize it. There are countless marinade recipes out there, so feel free to get creative.
