WHIPPEN'S BBQ COOKING TIPS:
- Grill grates should be cleaned or scraped prior to grilling and oil (i.e. Vegetable or Olive Oil) should be applied with cloth to prevent sticking.
- Soak wood chips in water for 1/2 hour, drain and enclose in piece of foil. Poke holes in foil with fork to allow smoke to escape. Place directly on coals to flavor your favorite meats.
- Don't use flavored (i.e. Mesquite) charcoal as it adds a chemical taste rather than natural wood flavors.
- Baste with sauces during last half hour of cooking not in the beginning.
- Marinating your meats prior to cooking will not only add flavor but also create a tender product.
- Try to avoid Lighter Fluid and use starter sticks or Charcoal Chimney to light your fire so meat flavors don't get tainted.
