EARLY START: Most of the flavor compounds in smoke are fat and water-soluble, which means that even if you’re cooking, you’ll get the best smoke flavor when it’s uncooked. Because the floor cooks and dries, the smoke doesn’t penetrate properly.

GO LOW AND SLOW (MANY TIME): The actual roast is cooked slowly over low heat, skewering – with wood smoke – so it’s a common method to make ribbed meat so moist and tender you simply don’t want your teeth. However, don’t miss out on these simple alternatives to inject candied wood flavor into meals that can be grilled over a hot oven in just a few minutes, like steak, shrimp, and even greens.

ADJUSTABLE TEMPERATURE BY WATER FAN: Large fluctuations in smoking temperatures can chop and dry out a meal. Every time you cook dinner for longer than an hour over coals, use a pan of water to help stabilize the warmth and add moisture. Obviously a smoker already has one, however for a charcoal grill use a large disposable foil pan and remember to fill it with water.

DON’T TOO BACK. The biggest mistake rookies make is including too much wood, chunk after chunk, in order to make the meal taste bitter. In general, you should smoke meals for no more than half of the cooking time. Also, the smoke should move like a light stream, not like it’s billowing from the practice engine.

WHITE SMOKE IS GOOD; BLACK SMOKE IS BAD: The clear white smoke can cover your meal with the intoxicating aroma of smoldering woodwork. But when your fireplace lacks sufficient airflow, or your meal immediately spills over into the fireplace and juices are burning, black smoke can ruin your meal or lead to an unpleasant surprise if you lift the lid.

KEEP AIR MOVING: Keep the vents in your charcoal grill open and place the vent on the lid on an inverted charcoal side. The open vents draw in smoke from the charcoal and wood below so it rolls into your meal and exits correctly, providing you with the perfect airflow and cleanest smoke. If the heater gets too hot, close the top vent almost as far as possible.

DON’T GO GOLFING: Smoking is a relatively low-maintenance cooking method — always be conscious and protected, though. Doesn’t mean leaving a bright fireplace unattended and checking the temperature every hour or so. You may want to adjust the vent or add charcoal.

TRY NOT ANYTIME: Every time you open the oven, you lose heat and smoke — two of the most important ingredients in making a vital meal. Only open the lid when you really want to get to the fireplace, pan of water, or a meal. Ideally, maintain them suddenly — and quickly. In all other cases, stay calm and close the lid.

LET THE BARK GIVE NIGHTS: Grilled meat should sparkle with a dark mahogany crust with black edges. This “shell” is the perfect result of the fat and spice that smokes over the base of the meat and develops a caramelized crust on top of the delicious meat underneath. Before removing the meat from the grill or wrapping it in foil, make sure the crust is a bit dark so it tastes like heaven.

STAR ATTRACTIVE CHARACTERISTICS: The main ingredient in any smoked recipe is the same as the lead singer in a rock-and-roll band. Different tastes should play a supporting role. In other words, don’t belittle something that’s already scrumptious with rich sauces, rich spices, or thick sauces. The harmony of flavors in such a way that the main ingredient is characteristic is what distinguishes the main dishes from the batches.
