Tonight! What could be better for a family home evening than a lesson on grilling?

There must be some sort of gospel parallel I can draw on there...

The grill has cast iron grates for cooking. I had to spend Saturday seasoning them, so now I am ready to fire it up. I think a good ribeye would be nice to break it in!

The very next thing you MUST buy... One of those long handled digital meat thermomiters...

As you progress in the world of grilling toward the lofty goal of "master of the grill" you will find that a meat thermomiter will do wonders for you as far as getting consistent medium, medium rare, medium well, etc...

It's also good because when you're doing chicken you don't have to make a "test cut" to make sure it's done or, if you're not a test cutter, you can avoid overcooking and drying your chicken out...

If you would like more grilling tips from me, please say so but I'll stop here...

I love grilling, and I have been thinking about getting a thermometer for a while. I hate doing the test cut, because so much juice gets out. I will have to check it out and see if I can find a cheap one.

All grilling tips are welcomed!

I don't get the thermometer....

I can tell where it is at just by touch.

Always use tongs, never poke the food!

Juice is good.

It's a great grill, I love having the cast iron grates to cook on, it's much better than the cheap wire ones.

This may be remedial for all grillers but I am constantly surprised by how few people remember this...

Do NOT throw the meat on the grill until the grill is up to temperature... If you throw the meat down and let the grill warm up under it you're going to get dry meat.

I usually get the grill up to temperature and then sear each side for a minute or two to "seal in the juices." If that's not something you've done, give it a try.

My other bit of advice... Get one of these http://www.chefsresource.com/grilwizgrilb.html

I freakin' love mine.
