Smoking | Smoking is usually done with a dedicated smoker or on a charcoal grill, however it’s actually quite easy to smoke foods on a gas grill. Simply wrap a handful of wood chips in a double layer of aluminium foil, poke a few holes in the foil, and place under the cooking grates. The chips will slowly smoulder, releasing flavourful smoke onto the items cooking.
Marinade | For Marinades, the longer you can leave meat to marinade the better. Especially to ensure the flavours are not overridden by the addition of the smoke. It is a good idea to save some marinade when you BBQ, brush your meat or fish with the marinade every 10 minutes to add moisture, caramelise gently and trap in the delicious smoky flavour as it cooks.
Heat | If you only change one thing about your BBQ habits, make sure you always bring your meat back to room temperature before cooking. The biggest struggle with cooking on a BBQ is to get the heat from the outside of the meat to the middle without burning the surface to a cinder. If your meat starts off at room temperature the easier it is to cook through.
