BBQs with Smokeless Coal & Firewood

To achieve optimal results while grilling with smokeless coal and firewood, it's crucial to have the right equipment. A versatile and efficient stove is key to ensuring even heat distribution and maintaining a consistent temperature. Look for a high-quality charcoal or wood-burning grill that allows for easy temperature control, preferably with adjustable vents. This will enable you to create different heat zones on your grill, ensuring perfect cooking conditions for various foods. 

 

Fire Pits  

Fire pits bring a social experience for all, rather than one person cooking away on the barbecue in the corner, the fire pit brings everyone together. Anything you can cook on a grill can be cooked on a fire pit. Once you're finished cooking you can then sit round the fire and enjoy the rest of the evening while the sunsets in the background. 

 

For grilling meat or vegetables you'll need a grilling gate, some fire pits come with them but you can buy a rack to go over the top if necessary. Sometimes it's a good idea to have more than one so you can switch them out depending on the food you're cooking and preventing cross-contamination of foods if someone has allergies or preferences. 

 

You can skewer anything over the fire, not just marshmallows! From vegetables to chunks of chicken or kebab meat you can buy premade skewers or go wild and make your own. Cooking them over your fire allows you to make them how you want them, chargrilled and smokey or heated and juicy.  

 

Fancy a pot-cooked stew or casserole? With a fire pit – you can do almost anything! There are a few ways you can pot cook too, such as frying your pan or pot directly on the grill or if you're a real expert then you can get your pot hanging over the fire with a tripod. You can cook a variety of recipes in a pot and over a fire pit that you wouldn’t be possible over a barbecue.  

 

Spit roasting or Rotisserie over a pit can take a while – but patience is key when it comes to creating mouthwatering dishes for your friends and family - good things come to those who wait! With the right equipment you can really make anything over the fire, just be sure to research what equipment you need and the best way to use them before making promises! 

 

Smokeless coal offers several benefits that make it an excellent choice for grilling. Unlike traditional coal, smokeless coal emits significantly less smoke and harmful pollutants, reducing both air pollution and health risks. This makes it ideal for outdoor cooking, where the focus is on enjoying the flavors and aromas of the food rather than dealing with excessive smoke. Smokeless coal also provides a longer burn time and more consistent heat, allowing for a more controlled cooking experience. 

 

When it comes to grilling with a combination of smokeless coal and firewood, finding the right balance is crucial. While smokeless coal provides a steady and consistent heat source, firewood adds a distinctive smoky flavor to your food. A general rule of thumb is to start your fire with smokeless coal to establish a strong base of heat with hot coals, and then gradually introduce firewood for that authentic barbecue taste. Experiment with different ratios to find the perfect balance that suits your preferences. 

 

Determining the ideal quantity of smokeless coal and firewood depends on various factors, such as the size of your grill, the type of food you're cooking, and the desired cooking time. It's advisable to use more smokeless coal initially to establish a stable heat source, and then add a few logs to infuse the food with that irresistible smoky flavor. As a general guideline, start with approximately 70% smokeless coal and 30% firewood, and adjust the ratio according to your specific needs and cooking style.
