Depends on what it is. Kabobs, nope. Steaks I put truffle oil on 'em.



Nice, yeah, it's working better now since I opened the trash chute vents.

Dude, if you're going to do skewers, it's always best to marinate the meat or at least brush everything, or for Christ's sake use some seasoning. You could do a simple teriyaki marinade, or if you really want to challenge yourself, do a Greek yogurt Mediterranean style marinade for the meat at least. Lots of garlic, oregano, Rosemary, lemon, etc and it'll make certain that crappy white meat chicken will at least be flavorful.

Plus the added benefit is when the marinade drips off onto the coals you're going to get a lot more smokiness and that good charring you expect from meat and vegetables cooked over wood and coal.

I mean the true blue, tried and true marinade everything in a bottle of Italian dressing also works for first time grillers.

Well, those were my first kabobs ever.

Doing chicken in a stick tonight and they're slathered in BBQ, and like you said, it's dripping on the coals and giving off lots of nice smoke.

Sustained my first grilling injury today when I got a ton of smoke while pouring the coals and made the choice to stand in it and put things on instead of standing back and letting it dissipate. Burned my eyes pretty good. Lesson learned.

A face full of smoke is all part of the joy of grilling. Wait till you graduate to blackening, and get a face full of spicy Creole seasoning thar hits you like pepper spray. It'll clear out your sinuses.

This was bad smoke too. Twice in the past I was in a closed space during a fire, trying to get people out, and both times I could hardly breathe but at least I could kind of see. This smoke instantly choked and blinded me. I still got the food into the damn grill though!

Do you think your native American ancestors would have complained about some smoke? Get it together my friend.

if youre gonna be doing so much grilling, you might want to get a volcano to control your heat, that way you can like put a ring of chicken on the edge and sear steak in the middle
