SUGGESTIONS
Ask for marbled fat in cut.
Fat is a natural tenderizer and
keeps meat juicy.
Keep patties all the same
thickness for equal cooking
times. Add hickory-flavored
wood chips to the charcoal for
extra flavor.
Slice joint connecting the thigh
and leg ¾ through for the meat
to lie flat on the burner and
cook evenly. Add
mesquite-flavored wood chips
to the charcoal for extra flavor.
Choose thick cuts for more
tender meat. Trim off excess
fat.
Choose lean meaty ribs. Grill
until meat pulls easily from the
bone.
Choose thick cuts for more
tender meat. Trim off excess
fat.
Select larger wieners and slit
lengthwise before grilling.
