How to use an outdoor grill

It is that time of year again — warm weather and trips to the park with friends and family. Many parks and outdoor areas provide public use of picnic grills to help add some fun to your function. The only thing that might be missing is that one person in your group that actually knows how to use a commercial charcoal grill. If they are, read on to learn how to operate those outdoor camping-style grills.

Listed below is the perfect beginner’s tool about how to grill out so you can provide your friends and family a tasty meal in the park.

Supplies you’ll need:

1. Grill brush
2. Tinfoil
3. Charcoal
4. Barbecue lighter or long matches
5. Lighter fluid if it is not already infused in the charcoal
6. Tongs or any other necessary cooking supplies

After you have the necessary supplies needed, just follow these few steps and you’ll be ready to impress your friends and put your grilling skills to work!

Step 1: First thing’s first, you need to clean the grill to avoid any unwanted germs. Start by using the grill brush to scrape off any excess food from the person before you. If you do not have a grill brush handy, crumble up a piece of tinfoil and that will do the trick.

Step 2: Remove the ashes from the bottom of the grill to keep a consistent airflow.

Step 3: Cover the grates with tinfoil for added protection for your food, or wrap the food in tinfoil. Depending on what you’re cooking, wrapping it in tinfoil enhances the flavors and results in a savory meal.

Step 4: Place the charcoal in the bottom of the grill and light it using your barbecue lighter or long matches. Let the charcoal heat up for about 10–15 minutes before grilling.

You are now ready to begin the cooking process! The only thing left to do after you’re done grilling is to clean the grill grates one more time so the next person to use it can enjoy their experience as well.
