No Firelighters? What to do?

One of the simplest barbeque hacks for grill lovers in a hurry is to make use of tortilla chips when you’ve run out of firelighters. Using this option saves you from a lot of hassle and helps you deliver those sizzling burgers because tortilla chips serve as brilliant barbecue kindling.

2

Get a Chimney Starter

One of the most practical barbeque hacks is to get a chimney starter to light the coal in it. This also helps you to pour the coal onto your barbecue. Using a chimney starter is a great way of starting your grill with properly lit coals – this will ensure that smoke and BBQ fluid don't affect your food.

Rosemary Sprigs for Kebabs

Replace wooden and metal skewers with rosemary twigs. Strip off the leaves from the bottom two-thirds of the stem and then thread on the pieces of vegetables and meat with rosemary sticks. You’ll find it easier if you thread them on a skewer first to make a hole to push the rosemary through.

4

Get Two Types of Barbeque Tongs

It will always benefit you to have different types of barbeque tongs while cooking. Be sure to have at least one tong that comes with insulated handles – you will need it to turn coals quickly. At the same time, it makes sense to have BBQ tongs that come with grips – they will make it easier for you to turn and handle your food.

5

Use Aromatic Herbs While Cooking

For the best BBQ experience use some aromatic herbs, such as sage, rosemary or thyme. Not only will these herbs add special flavor to your food, they will make the air smell heavenly.

UPD:

Aromatic herbs are an easy and delicious way to add flavor to any barbeque dish. Sage, rosemary, and thyme are all excellent options for adding a unique, savory taste to grilled meats and vegetables. The herbs can be used fresh or dried, and they can be added directly to the food or used to make a flavorful marinade.

Sage is a classic choice for barbeque, as it pairs particularly well with pork and poultry. Rosemary is a strong herb with a pine-like aroma, and it goes well with beef, lamb, and vegetables. Thyme is a milder herb that adds a subtle flavor to any dish.

When using fresh herbs, it is best to add them to the food near the end of the cooking process, as the heat will cause the flavor to dissipate. If using dried herbs, they can be added at the beginning of the cooking process. A good rule of thumb is to use one teaspoon of dried herbs for every tablespoon of fresh herbs.

Grease Your Grill before Cooking

Yes, you're in a hurry and want food served quickly, but greasing your grill a few minutes before you add food will keep you from facing several issues – it stops residue from collecting on the grill that makes it harder to cook. This will also prevent the loss of that BBQ-charred goodness that adds special flavor to your food. Try garlic-marinated oil to grease your grill as it gives your food additional flavor.

7

Apple Juice = Moist Meat

Do you always find it difficult to keep your meat (pork in particular) tender and moist while cooking? The simple barbeque hack you can try is to get a squirt bottle full of apple juice and spray it when cooking.

8

Prevent Fish Sticking

Don’t slap your fish directly on the grill to cook it. 9 times out of 10 it will stick. Wrap it in foil and let it cook through. Then when it’s practically perfect, unwrap the foil and put it directly on the grill, turning it a few times to get those lovely criss-cross marks.

9

Cleaning

Who hates it when the fun’s over and the yummy food has been eaten and it’s time to clean the grill. Everyone, right? Want to know a barbeque hack that saves you money (no need to buy special tools or cleaners!)? To clean your grill, scrunch up a piece of aluminum foil, clamp it between your grill tongs and use it to clean the gunge off the grill.

Grilling doesn’t have to be a drama when you make good use of some handy barbeque hacks. Anyone got more hacks to share?
