If you think dumping a bag of charcoal into your Weber kettle barbecue is the key to BBQ nirvana, you’re about to get a wake-up call hotter than your overloaded barbecue. Let’s start with a hard truth: your grill isn’t a dumpster fire, so stop treating it like one. That “more is more” mentality? It’s turning your steaks into hockey pucks and your wallet into a sad, empty leather pouch.
Cooking steak isn’t difficult and certainly isn’t rocket science. But for some reason, many people screw up cooking the perfect steak. As with anything; patience, attention and the right tools for the job are crucial. You wouldn’t trust a carpenter without a hammer to do a good job. When it comes to smoking, things are a little more involved. You’re not just grilling a steak, you’re smoking it and temperature control, as well as the right amount of coals and positioning, is crucial.
