- The grill should be on a heatproof surface well away from buildings, brush & overhanging trees. Do not grill inside your home, even in an open garage.
- Inspect your grill before you start, making sure the racks are clean, the cover fits snugly, & there are no cracks or holes in the grill pan.
- Start with a clean grill, especially if it's the first time you are grilling this season. Ash left over from cooking creates lye when mixed with water, which can rust the grill pan. You do need an ash layer for the best heat retention, but old ash isn't doing your grill any good.
- Follow manufacturer's instructions for lighting gas or charcoal grills.
- A charcoal fire takes 30-45 minutes to reach the proper cooking heat after you light it. You can tell when the coals are at proper cooking temperature because gray ash will form evenly over the briquettes.
- Charcoal grilling presents quite a challenge to the grillmaster. (That's you!) But learning about the type of charcoal to purchase, how many briquettes to light, the arrangement and cooking times is fun! Here are some tips.
- The number of briquettes you use depends on the size of your gill, the amount of food you will be cooking, weather conditions & cooking time.
- As a general rule, plan on using about 30 briquettes to cook one pound of meat. A five-pound bag contains seventyfive to 90 briquettes. Make sure you have enough briquettes to cover the grill pan in a single layer, extending about 2-three" beyond the area of the food on the grill. First place the briquettes in the grill pan to check for quantity, then stack them for lighting or remove to place in a chimney starter.
- When the weather is cold or windy, you will need more briquettes to reach an ideal cooking temperature. More about that later. To light charcoal with the pyramid method, stack the charcoal into a rough pyramid shape. Soak the charcoal with at least 1/two cup of lighter fluid (never use gasoline!!!). Wait a few minutes to let the chemicals soak into the briquettes, then light the charcoal with a long handled match or fire starter. As the coals begin to burn & ash forms, arrange them with long handled tons into a single layer. Do not squirt lighter fluid onto hot coals, since the fluid could catch on fire & burn back up to your hand.

- How Economical Is A Gas Grill?
- You will save on your utility bill using a gas grill instead of conventional oven or charcoal cooking. Less energy for air-condition, fewer dishes to wash and no charcoal or starter to buy. Charcoal grilling costs 30 times more than natural gas and 10 times more than propane gas to cook an average meal
- Can I Get That Charcoal Flavor?
- The fact is that charcoal does not flavor your outdoor meal, but is only a heat source. The MHP Gas Grill utilizes a special self-cleaning porcelain briquette above the burner that heats up fast and spreads the heat evenly. The delightful backyard taste theat comes with barbecue cooking is caused by meat drippings falling on the heat source where they are vaporized to rise up and add flavor to th
- Do I Cook With The Cover Open Or Closed?
- Like your kitchen oven, a gas grill is designed to cook with the lid closed, except for quick searing. Cooking with the lid-closed helps food retain natural juices, moisture, enhances flavor and keeps annoying flare-ups to a minimum. Also, heat is reflected from the lid, and foods cook not only from below, but also evenly on all sides from circulating hot air, (similar to convection oven) for faster, more fuel-efficient cooking.
