Independence Day Impress your friends by being the true master of the coals. Here s our guide to making the perfect barbecue. Setting it up Place the coals and add solid lighting bricks or fluid in between layers so the barbecue can burn evenly. Never add flammable liquids once lit.
Perfect heat Getting the heat right is the next step towards making the perfect barbecue.
Cooking Next, place the food on the grill. It shouldn t char - charred, black food is caused by coals which aren t heated properly or overcooked. Watch fatty foods like burgers and sausages. If fatty foods like burgers and sausages are put over hot coals, the fat will add to the flames making the food inedible.
