Grill Flare-up Tip
Don't let
those barbecue flare-ups put out the flame in your heart for outdoor
grilling.
There are several reasons why barbecues will suddenly flare up,
turning your meat to ashes. Luckily, there are also several ways to fight
back. Here are some suggestions:
- Move your meat away from the fire by raising the level of your grill.
Some flare-ups are natural. By keeping your meat a bit higher, the flames
may not reach the grill.
- Use a grade of meat with a bit less fat. Most of the time, it's the
dripping fat that causes the flare-ups.
- Use a marinade or barbecue
sauce
with less sugar. Sugar in the marinade not only attracts the flames, but
will burn on the surface of your meat.
- Give the fire a bit less air to feed on by closing the vents down a bit.
