For Love of the Grill

There are three distint grilling methods you should know about and they are
Direct Grilling-this means you grill the food directly over your heat source. This method is best for food that you need to sear in the juices such as steak. sealing the juices will prevent the meat from drying out during cooking.

Indirect Grilling-This method means you will be cooking your food in between two heaps of coals instead of directly on the heat. This method is best for cooking foods that will take a long time to cook such as ribs. This way your food can cook longer and become much more tender. Thisis what gives rib that fall off the bone flavor that we all look for.

Multi-level-This technique involves two or more different cooking temperatures. You can have a high pile of charcoal on one side of the grill, a smaller pile on the other and you can even leave the middle open giving you three different temperatures for cooking.
