playing with live fire - built in stainless steel charcoal grill

Chef David Robertson was most impressed by his experience in Australia with all the barbecues.
Then meet his wife. to-be, of course.
"Come on the weekend, you just have to choose the barbecue you want to go.
"I was invited to a barbecue three or four times a week," the chef recalled . "
The instructor of the Dirty Apron cooking school.
"This is tradition. It’s a built-
Tradition of barbecue.
He also found local seafood, delicious meat, delicious produce, and why one of Australia's nicknames is "the land of abundance ".
So when there is a need for someone to prepare Australian wine for the Vancouver International Wine Festival,
Theme menu for Savour Australia lounge party February.
Robertson is ready.
For this event, he is making delicious dishes such as crocodile meat balls and kangaroo sliders, mini meat pies and goldfish tortillas.
And baked food. Don't forget.
In fact, for many of us, Australia and barbecues have been inextricably intertwined since the late 1980 Australian Tourism Commission's television advertisement starring Crocodile Dundee (Paul Hogan)
He proudly waved a spatula and said, "I'll give you an extra shrimp on the barbie.
"Since then, barbecues have become more and more popular in Australia.
Today, it all has to do with charcoal: not just barbecue on a coal ball, but smoke, bake and bake with what experts call "live ammunition.
"Charcoal is also a growing trend in Canada, although it still hasn't caught up with the popular gas BBQ. "That's the back --to-
Chef Michael P said: "basic BBQ.
Clive is a barbecue expert at the Weber barbecue College in Vaughan, Ontario.
"I personally know it's a nostalgic thing.
When the charcoal began to burn, I returned to my childhood.
Like many Canadians, he insisted on BBQ with gas for a week.
"Then, when I have time on the weekend, I like to bake charcoal," Clive said . ".
He prefers the taste of food to charcoal.
It has a deeper, more smoky, more subtle and satisfying taste than gas, propane, or electric cooking food.
But he also likes the challenge of cooking with charcoal and the sheer, heartfelt pleasure of this cooking.
"You're dealing with live ammunition," Clive said . ".
"There are almost some original things in the charcoal barbecue.
For many, however, charcoal can be intimidating.
The biggest problem is getting charcoal to shine, and the time it takes to achieve these perfectly glowing coal.
Well, there is a convenient shortcut.
It is called a chimney and is a metal tube with holes on the side and a handle that can be grasped.
Simply fill it up with a coal ball, place it on the grill's lower grill, plug a wax block or newspaper underneath, light it up, sit down and have a glass of wine, you have the perfect coal in 15 to 20 minutes.
"I always use the chimney," said Clive.
"Even the grill master will tell you that it is a different experience without a chimney.
Like many, he relies on his classic Weber kettle grill, which is perfectly designed and has remained relatively constant since its creation in 1952.
But there are other options, including bullets.
Shape smokers if you want to try lowand-slow barbecue.
In fact, smoking with charcoal is another growth trend in Australia, Canada and almost everywhere.
But it's more challenging than a barbecue.
"I remember that my previous smoking experience was an expensive burning effort," Clive said with a sad smile.
Now he teaches people how to smoke food like bacon, bris and pork.
He found that the key is to maintain a stable low heat of about 225 degrees Fahrenheit (110°C).
You need a thermometer.
In fact, you need two, because in addition to measuring the heat inside the grill or smoker, you need one to test the internal temperature of anything you are cooking.
The charcoal you use is also critical.
"I went to a lump of coal," Clive said . ".
"If I could get Kingsford, I would use a coal ball.
Because they are all of the same size, the coal balls provide consistent, reliable heat for a long time.
The wood block or wood block charcoal tastes stronger, but it burns hot and fast.
In fact, it's hotter than gas.
This is ideal for steak, but not for things you need to cook for more than a few minutes.
You can also add blocks of wood or chips to increase their sweetness, smoky and spicy, but as Clive points out, "the less wood the better.
You can add a bit of bitter taste.
"Beyond that, all you really need is a firm pair of pliers and a spatula that flipped the burger.
One of the fun of cooking with a fire is that it is simple.
But for those who like gadgets, there are a lot of special equipment to play.
Clive, for example, recently fell in love with his grill and has been cooking chicken, pork tenderloin, and even fine ribs with electric tucao.
"It's juicy and there's something on the charcoal to season," he added. "There's nothing I wouldn't cook with charcoal.
Meanwhile, back to the dirty apron, Robertson is showing how to bake flat bread, which he will pour over flat bread with lamb and Baba gannush at the party.
He brushed the soft yeast dough clean with olive oil and put it on the grill.
It starts bubbling immediately;
He flipped it to show a dramatic focus mark.
He said: "A little charcoal is OK . " He added that he likes toast and vegetables as much as meat.
"People always think that a barbecue is just meat, but you can roll out all these ingredients at dinner.
"Since traveling to Australia a long time ago, Robertson has cooked on electric heating, gas and charcoal and compared the experience to driving a car.
Cooking with gas is like autonomous driving, he said.
"Charcoal barbecue is like driving a stick class.
You're a little more involved.
Cooking with charcoal will not only produce more delicious food, but it will be more interesting than cooking with gas or propane.
But if you 've never done this before, it can look scary or time consuming.
In fact, neither of these is true if you follow these suggestions.
First of all, you need the right gear: charcoal grill.
The classic is the Weber kettle.
It's a simple, inexpensive design that always exists because it just works.
But there are other options, including bullets.
Shape smokers if you like lowand-slow barbecue. • A chimney.
This handy gadget is basically a wide metal tube with a punch and handle on it, allowing you to get the perfect charcoal in just a few minutes.
Fill the chimney with a coal ball, then fill some wax block newspapers below, ignite them, then wait a few minutes for the coal to reach the perfect cooking conditions. • Thermometers.
You need two.
A measure of the heat inside the grill (
This is usually attached to the grill)
The second moment.
Read one and measure the internal heat of the food you cook. • Charcoal.
The classic block is long for you.
The heat of lasting consistency. It’s essential.
Hardwood floors will give you higher heat, but the burn time will be shorter.
The best way to use it is to add it to a layer of coal balls.
The same is true for wood chips and blocks, adding a wonderful smoky flavor. • Tools.
At least it will take you a long time.
Pliers with handles, strong oven gloves and a metal grill brush.
On top of that, you can add a wide variety of gear, such as flipper/spatula, a brush for mopping, a metal basket for charcoal or small food, or even a barbecue shop.
It's a good idea to have a spray bottle full of waterups.
You also need cooked food platter (
Do not use raw food).
Don't forget matches or lighters.
Once you have the right gear, here are some simple tips: Make sure the grill is a good distance from any flammable item, put a fire extinguisher or a bucket of water at hand just in case.
In addition, pay attention to the smoke from the grill;
Michael P. , a Weber barbecue expert.
Clive said: "The white smoke is very good.
Black smoke is bad.
Don't put charcoal in your gas grill.
If you are using a gas grill and want to smoke charcoal flavors, use a metal cigarette case filled with soaked wood chips.
Use a chimney to generate fire.
Do not use lighter liquids, otherwise you will add a dirty, greasy chemical flavor to your food.
Start your fire with a charcoal coal ball, and then add hard charcoal or wooden blocks when the coal glows due to high temperature and taste.
Don't put your food on the grill until the coal is ready
Wait patiently until the coal burns evenly and you are unlikely to burn the food and cause a flash of light --ups.
Create a two-zone fire.
Place the coal in part of the grill and the rest is free so that if the food starts to burn you can move it there or cook slower at a mild temperature. • Don’t peek.
Once you open the lid, it turns your grill or smoker into an oven.
"It doesn't look like it's cooking," Clive said . ".
"People often lift the lid and let the smell and smoke go away.
That is, you will want to keep the vent open so that the fire can get oxygen;
Or go out.
Measure the heat inside the grill using a thermometer and test whether the meat is delicious.
Keeping an eye on your food, especially the chicken, can't make sure it's done right.
Please note that the internal temperature of medium rare meat is 130 to 140 degrees F (55 to 60 deg C)
At least 160 degrees Fahrenheit (71 deg C).
Don't forget to clean the grill when you're done.
Scraping off all burnt food will extend the life of the grill and eliminate the temptation of pests.
Coal will go out and become ashes by itself;
Simply discard the fire before you fire it next time.
