Heat grill for an hour. Pour a beer over it. (Shake & spray, because that's more fun). Rub with newspaper or onion. Season with olive oil. You're good to go.
for an hour? that seems like a lot of wasted gas. grills should heat up in about 10 minutes.
It's interesting many countries such as the US, UK and NZ have banned rare earth magnets due to fear of people swallowing them. The data they used to back the banning included all products ingested, and vice wrote up an article here: http://www.vice.com/read/the-consumer-product-safety-commiss... If a product is causing similar health risks, isn't it fair to apply the same ban to it too?
The traditional BBQ method of the Aboriginal Australians is the one I like best. You pull a dead tree down, light it, then roll a supermarket trolley/cart filled with meat into the resulting fire.
Oh, wait, you're back after 5 years away... Then welcome!!
A trick I learned from Argentinian circus people, who make amazing BBQ, is let the grill heat up and then cut an onion in half to rub on the grate. It imparts a nice flavor and cleans the grill very well.
Off topic but any other tricks you learned from Argentinian circus people? Or circus people in general?
Slight related topic: Anyone else BBQ a lot, reach to open a beer bottle, but are missing an opener? Why don't they make every BBQ utensil have a decent bottle opener at the end. Better yet, every utensil in your house? Please take this idea and run with, just tell me where to buy a set.
My grill spatula has a bottle opener embedded in the cutout pattern at the end. When I realized it was a bottle opener I immediately thought 'who would want to open a bottle with a grilling spatula?'. Now, finally, I have my answer: tvongaza would want to open a bottle with a grilling spatula. Sadly I don't recall where we bought our grill tools. Looks, based on a quick google, like it's not an uncommon combination.…
I use it to open bottles far, far more often than I use it as a spatula. I don't think I even grilled this year. Someone should make a grill spatula + bottle opener combo without the useless spatula part.
"During a discussion on ingested foreign objects that are difficult to remove..." I wish I had been a fly on the wall for that discussion.
Just go drinking with some nurses, they always have good foreign object stories. My fave was about a morbidly obese person who got a whole BBQ chicken lodged in their throat. They called in half the department to "observe" that one.
