The Serious Eats Guide to Charcoal Grilling

[@Thebearwand]

its never too cold for grilling season

[@TexasRanchu]

There's 4 grilling seasons in a year

[@justkillingtime8622]

Gotta get that new years cook out in!

[@sprig6043]

That's my Moto to. Not even rain stops me. Providing I can get those coals up to temp I'm good to go

[@ronaldpettifurd5957]

This is the way

[@freebird97hd]

Cold is the best weather to grill.

[@lzzfxck]

I don't think that guy needed a thermometer to know his chicken wasn't fully cooked.

[@JungleScene]

for real.. its was straight up just raw meat lol

[@raziel3726]

He doesn't want to meet Sam and Ella!!

[@MazzaRamzan]

Lol exactly what I thought 😂😂😂

[@thegrandmuftiofwakanda]

@@raziel3726 After meeting Sam and Ella you tend to find yourself wanting to tell your friends Ralph and Hughey about it over the giant white telephone.

[@mraetnts]

exactly what I thought

[@ThatDonovanKid]

So much good information here in under 5 minutes! I wish there had been a video like this when I was first starting out!

[@rance-medicineman8583]

The charcoal chimney starter is the best way to start a fire... I have not bought lighter fluid in almost 20 years. A couple of pages from the newspaper and a match and in 15 - 20 mins you are cooking.

[@Wetkeazle]

Well made instructional! I actually saved a screenshot of the 4 coal configurations. I made all the mistakes you mention, and then some.

[@sweetness_5772]

So did I. I thought I was the only one who'd did that. That's funny. 🙂

[@parkerbarnes7726]

No better time to put out your grilling guide than the last month of summer.

[@ZXY86]

Parker Barnes worked out for me!

[@christophermichaelson1598]

Summer can be at different times depending on where youre at my dude

[@nostonethrown56]

Bro global warming

[@lifeofaustin1062]

Hank Hill would be pissed at me but I want to get a charcoal grill

[@Only2GendersCommonSense]

"That boy (you) ain't right, ah tell hue hwhat."

[@Catandthespoon]

Taste meat, not the heat

[@Gio-vf1zf]

I live in a condo complex where you can bring and lock up your grill in a patio area. I can tell you the amount of abandoned grills with no covers and rusted ones. People just don’t care and are lazy.

[@Ahmed.2002.2]

Best tutorial simple fast efficient 💯

[@PanupatChong]

Starting a fire - you can use alcohol/lighter cubes. They're like 10-30 cent each.

[@jvhokey]

They weather has been warm for 4 months

[@aaronsung6208]

The season is also reversed in southern globe. And many places are always warm. So it doesnt matter.

[@FercEater]

Watching this video on December 24th because it's 70 degrees and I got a grill of the holidays

[@husafel]

You can use a Onion 🧅 to clean your grill grates too.

[@vaishalipatil286]

Very nice and informative video 🙏🏻❤️

[@lachlananthony6983]

This is a well informative video. Thanks for the four example for the coal configurations

[@arcadeparty4946]

Will the nickel plated steel grate leach into my food? Or am I good?

[@ckobo84]

Hm ... If you used an abrasive wire brush like he demonstrated I would assume you be eating a bit of nickel.

[@silkytp789]

Oiling grill grates make no sense unless you're cooking lid on at low temperatures. The grate surface in direct heat cooking reaches well over 500 deg F with the lid off, making short work of any oil on the grate surface. Better to brush oil on the surface of the food and move it around during direct heat cooking.

[@NguyenNguyen-gs4mm]

oiling the grates here is to use the heat of the grill to create a carbonized surface so that food doesn't stick to the grill, the same principle behind seasoning cast iron or carbon steel cookware

[@silkytp789]

No it isn't. Explain then, why he scrapes the grill to remove the carbonized material before he oils it. All oiling does during direct heat grilling, is exceed the smoke point of the oil and impart a "carbonized" (acrid) flavor. Again, better to brush the food surface in this application.

[@krishnprasad6369]

Yep agreed. I️ don’t oil I️t just gonna burn up. Nguyen a thin layer of burnt oil isn’t gonna do anything to stainless. Cast iron has super tiny pores to allow the oils and fats to settle and make the surface resilient to sticking. After a quick scrub with the grill brush just cut an onion in half, put I️t on a meat fork and quickly run across the hot/dirty grate. Slice off the dirty/burnt onion and the rest of the onion is still good to use!

[@23Khameo]

Krishn Prasad thanks for that tip!!!!

[@tendingtropic7778]

whats the music on the background?

[@TheDNW]

We talkin Mississippi seconds or Texas?

[@EngelFiresUSA]

These are some handy tips!

[@indianstreetfoodkhanapakan2659]

Excellent Video of Charcoal Grilling friend.

[@enthrallingusername]

What temperature should chicken and burgers be to know that they're cooked?

[@thecrepesoul]

Chicken: BREAST @ 165° LEGS & THIGHS@ 175°but they're VERY forgiving, so you can go up to 185 and still be ok. Burgers: Cook to at least medium, 160°

[@Arrslicker]

For those watching. Oil is not a great seasoning. Just cook multiple bacon slabs to season or something along those lines.

[@DrRBPath]

This was very informative! 😊

[@jse629]

Very instructional. Thank you Daniel and Serious Eats!

[@vmel5599]

When I try to stop fire flares by closing the vents, my meet gets covered in soot.

[@FelixK30]

Me too brother, me too :-/

[@thecrepesoul]

You have 3 options here. 1. Don't close the vents. 😁 2.Move the food to the indirect side until the fire dies down. 3. Raise the cooking grate up higher.

[@theotormon]

As a total beginner I thought that was awesome.

[@gian323]

Whose knife is that at 4:12?

[@gian323]

superbleeder98 she's holding out

[@CasualCarAudio]

Looks like wusthof?

[@jonw9119]

Man, that uncooked silverskin at the end looked really appetizing.

[@adams8849]

How do you turn off the charcoal once you have finished cooking. Do you pour water or just let it burn out? Can it be reused, in case you pour water?

[@grlmgor]

Close the vents to remove the air and yes they can be reused.

[@warezbb100]

Did you guys poach folks from ChefSteps?

[@pimc172]

Love the paper towel trick...i used to use a silicon brush and spilling most of the oil

[@DarksidePride]

Why did he test the raw chicken?

[@leonotthelion]

B Roll I assume, but still dumb af lolol

[@darthjerh12]

I never realized the science behind all this 😂

[@raziel3726]

Great Tutorial Thanks!!

[@Tdotttttt]

Is this Joshua Weissman?

[@Hannahorse715]

no not at all I think Kenji Lopez he does all the serious eats videos like this

[@deletesoon70]

1:01 "Perfect, still nice and raw."

[@Stevelemontrudy]

"Cook your chicken until the breast reads 65 degrees."

[@Test-nr3cd]

Great video.

[@jessiejones9623]

1 week ago on my bbq camp I am using buypimentowood. The flevor of the wood is next level. Just try it once and remember me too🤤🤤

[@lootho6778]

WoW, what geart vid.. TY very much!!

[@kevinwithers3781]

Up to the 4:04 point, this is an excellent charcoal grilling instructional video. However, resting the meat has been scientifically debunked - see kzbin.info/www/bejne/poqkaXtugMZ_hMk Food tastes best right off the grill.

[@leobrzl]

Yeah... lets put our hands over the hot grill and count the number of seconds until we have 3rd degree burns lol

[@Mickimoss]

wow i never grilled before but after watching this I feel like I can grill even without a griller, just imagining it in my head xD that 3:59 really makes me feel like Einstein

[@smidon]

Handy dandy guide - thank you

[@Ruger44Redhawk]

I will never understand why people who grill would EVER use gas or propane. I don't care if it's "convenient", using charcoal is the only way to grill. I finally got a large Forge charcoal grill after not being allowed to have one at the apartments we unfortunately had to live in. They only allowed their stupid gas grills and no charcoal. Unless you like shitty tasting meat, use your zero testosterone gas grills. So finally got this charcoal grill now that we have a house and I use it all the time. No question the meat tatses better than gas and firing up the chimney is the best part! I don't know, just my opinion, but charcoal grilling is for real men.

[@somnuswaltz5586]

RESPECT. Charcoal is the only way to go if you want FLAVOR. I'm sorry your apartment persecuted you. Hope you grill and enjoy a beer all the time now 😎👍

[@sjh60633]

How many people leave the lid off and burn the shit out of anything they cook?!

[@NoName-um4dt]

😂 not me lol

[@ClaudesKitchen]

Handy video!! Keep up the good work!! :)

[@QianBing]

Wow!! Very interesting

[@theirishbbqdad8578]

some good tips om this clip !

[@mn-ru4li]

Doesn't tell me how to light the coal

[@thecrepesoul]

With fire.🤣🤣🤣

[@thecrepesoul]

Seriously though, if you're using a chimney, you can stuff it with paper, you can use one of the many different fire starters on the market too i.e. wax cubes, tumbleweeds.

[@karlvonklutz6867]

I have no self-control... best way to ensure my steaks or tenderloins rest is to cook hotdogs and sausages...

[@aarondrew4861]

I have a hard time gauging heat, cuz I ain't no nancy boy.

[@courtneywilliams4143]

You don't need a thermometer if you turn and check your chicken constantly.

[@benbiedenkopf8623]

Better read meatheads science of bbq.

[@tomwinchester4091]

THAT CHICKEN WAS FUCKING RAW Just kidding, I love charcoal grilling and this a great video. Once you go charcoal its hard to go back to propane, it just has no flavor

[@nastyham5302]

How raw is chicken 😬

[@seejasmine3837]

Raw

[@DangerDave-e7u]

Juicy

[@ryansedlacek1319]

If lighter fluid is making your food taste like lighter fluid, you aren't waiting for your charcoal to be burnt enough. Also, if your meat is sticking, that's because it isn't ready.

[@1StefenM]

YUUMMMAYYY

[@LDacic]

That steak at the end was raw as fuck :cwl:

[@TheRAMBO9191]

Yea that was a bad example of checking chicken doneness.

[@farooqt541]

This video definitely felt like 10 mins

[@kamalhm-dev]

Music too loud

[@harveyquinn5494]

If you need lighter fluid then you are crap at lighting fires

[@mofromupside2573]

@4:13 boy thats raw

[@greenbean2904]

just stick your pork chops chicken boy that looked delicious

[@G3MiNiOfficial]

@@greenbean2904 Hahaha

[@christophera-realone9834]

This video is for guys that wear really really tight pants

[@kevina6416]

I cant take an idiot seriously who probes raw meat to check the temperature

[@lbjsaid200years6]

Soft bristle brush? Only an idiot would take the risk of wire in their intestine.

Hahaha I confess, I used to be that idiot a while back.... I'm sorry, sir!

[@mahdieran1100]

When western people are marketing tools to cook. I dont need all this dude.

[@somnuswaltz5586]

Then why are you watching, einstein???

[@dmarkj22]

This video feels very generic and cheesy.

[@millenialbroadcast]

Steak looked raw

[@kevo598]

Nah, it's just right medium rare and below is where it's at.
