An extra note to the charcoal reusability! If you use non-additive pure wood coals, catch the ashes, they make for great gardening fertilizer. Most ashes hold approximately a 0-1-3 values of N,P,K (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium) and I've been using it for years to grow better melons, tomatoes, and strawberries. Use with caution, it's actually quite powerful!

This next one is sure to get me in trouble....Take 4 or 5 Campbell soup cans, cut both ends off all of them except the bottom, duct tape them together, put a small hole in the bottom one. Now spray some aqua-net into the tube, jam a tennis ball in (it fits perfectly), and hold a lighter to the small hole at the bottom. It's unbelievable how far that tennis ball will go!!

On tip 11, I can definitely agree. I was camping last week and was able to cook pulled pork and a brisket on my kettle. The only changes were that I have an extension ring for a rotisserie or as a pizza oven. I put one grill grate on the regular brackets with an old pizza pan as a heat deflector then the ring and a second grate on the top where I actually cooked. I only ran into one flare-up issue when too much brisket fat dripped into the fire, but it was easy enough to knock down and there was no damage to the meat. I heated the brisket back up in a foil pan on the top the next day with my baked potatoes on the lower rack.

[@KamiNoBaka1]

I like how Guga says if you're from South America you'll know the meat tenderizer hammer, as if it's not one of the most common kitchen tools in the world. Or at least, y'know, Europe and the Americas, though I've definitely seen it in Asian cooking videos, too. Oh, for the bottle filling, if you don't have plastic wrap, you can use a freezer bag and cut off a corner. Though, you can also just go to a dollar store and get a cheap set of funnels... I suppose since this is a grill tips video, it would be appropriate to share my "hack" (I guess) for smoking on a kettle grill. The setup for the charcoal is what you'd expect, y'know, charcoal on one side, meat on the other, vent on the bottom open under the charcoal, vent on the lid slightly open above the meat. The hack is in the wood. I don't know if this works with mesquite, but I usually use pecan and it should work for woods like hickory as well. Don't use wood chips. Get yourself a branch a little bigger around than your thumb, and cut a few 4-5 inch sections. It's best to use a fresh branch, if all you have is dry wood soak the pieces for a couple of hours. Get some heavy duty foil and wrap each piece kind of like a tootsie roll, but twist the ends around your little finger to leave a hole at each end. Once you've got your coals going, toss your wrapped wood directly on the coals. If it stops smoking too soon, add another couple of pieces. Though honestly if I'm doing a brisket I generally just do 1-2 hours on the smoke, or however long the first couple of pieces of wood to finish, then cover it tight and put it in a low oven for another 6-8 hours. Comes out perfect every time, good bark and falling apart tender on the inside.

[@berelinde]

I've had a lot of experience with grill fires and campfire flare-ups over the years (I used to grill whole pigs for community events), and step one before you even start to cook is to create a landing pad for your protein in case of emergency. As you say, a few seconds of fire aren't going to do any harm, so you have time to rescue it. Have a cooling rack by the grill, or even a fire-proof platter. Somewhere you can park the meat while the flare-up subsides. It won't last long. Pull the meat off with the long tongs you should be using, let the flare-up die down, and carry on. If you're doing 2-zone cooking, your landing pad might just be the cool side of the grill, but I like to have a handy tray on a side table, just in case. After that, I do what you do: close the lid, close the air vents, and give it a minute.

The lemon slices on the grill for salmon, and indirect heating was extremely helpful!! I grew up in Alaska, so I've grilled a lot of salmon, halibut, etc.. I've always wrapped it in foil with butter, garlic.. But I'm looking forward to trying your method. I have some fresh caught ocean run silvers a buddy sent me. I'll try this, I hope they turn out well! One thing we always do.. Grill limes. Or lemons, we prefer limes. Cut them in half, and rub them with a coarse sea salt and brown sugar mix.. About 60/40. Then grill them. Let that rest, and squeeze onto the fish as it's served. Amazing! Just an idea for you.. 😀

I have a PitBoss and have fell in love. Charcoal flavor with the continuance of gas (without gas). No judgement on whatever anyone else uses. But yea the opening the lid on starting is a must for a pellet grill. It won't always blow, but there is a good chance it will 😂 had a buddy it happened too. It was hilarious.

[@Anonym-yr4qn]

11:22 Abother version i've seeb to that is: Take a knife ir something else pointy, make a small cut in the middle (when the bag lays flat, so "in the belly" of this bag.) And then grab one of the sides and start gently pulling it open in a circular motion which, if done right, will eventually leave you with an improvised bowl. Though you can't close it up again easily if you have leftovers, contrary to the hack portrayed here.

Another one that seems very obvious, but to some people isn't... Keep scissors in the kitchen. Ideally a few different pairs for different purposes. They're good for cutting some meats, twine off meat, as well as trimming veg like spring onion easily, or just even for opening some difficult packaging.

Yo that pineapple one makes so much sense when you think about it! The acidic bromine from the pineapple breaks things down which is why if you ever ate a lot of pineapple at once you get that raw feeling inside your mouth. Dope video man

Thank you so much Guga. I have been watching your videos and have been wanting to get into grilled steaks. And these tips will definitely allow me to get into the charcoal game with ease!
