Wanting to learn how to do some outdoor or indoor grilling?  Here are some helpful tips to follow:

1. A hot grill is your best defense against sticky situations.  Be sure that the grates are piping hot before laying down your food.
2. Keep a spray bottle of water close by to tame any flare-ups.
3. To oil your grill without creating a wild fire:  fold up a cotton kitchen towel, lightly dip in vegetable oil, and use your tongs to glide a coat onto the grates.
4. Barbeque sauces contain sugar that caramelize and then quickly burn.  Try a dry rub in the beginning and then at the end of grilling baste with a thin coating of sauce.
5. When cooking anything skewered soak the wooden sticks in water first to prevent them from burning.

I’ve provided a few helpful hints and reports that I thought you might find useful.
