It's the perfect time to to grill. All you need is to follow these basic steps. Whether the meat is pork chops or steaks or chicken it can all be great if you follow these basic rules.Rule 1: Always keep your grill grate clean to prevent sticking.
Rule 2: Oil the food, not the grill. Oil burns away at high temperatures so it is pointless to oil the cooking grate.
Rule 3: Always give yourself plenty of time. Don't leave your family and/or guests waiting.
Rule 4: Always keep an eye on what you’re grilling.
Rule 5: Do not use spray bottles of water to control flare-ups. Flare-ups are caused by too much fat and too much heat. Trim excess fat and when you turn meat on the grill move it to a different part of the grill.
Rule 6: Do not add sugary sauces or marinades to meat on the grill. This causes burning.
Rule 7: Keep your grill away from anything flammable like lighter fluid, fences, your house, etc..
Rule 8: Spice up your food a good hour before you grill. This lets the flavor sink in.
Rule 9: Have the proper grill tools to do the job.
Rule 10: Place grilled food on a clean plate.
What you need to remember are the three laws of successful grilling. Law 1: You can cook more, but you can't uncook. Of course this is leads us to Law 2: Undercooked meats can kill you. Sounds serious, but that's just because it is. What I am saying is that you need to work your way up to done and not just hope to get lucky. So what is the real answer? Law 3: Trust by Verify. Experience is the best tool you have to getting the foods you grill done, but a thermometer is necessary to make sure you have it right.

Following these basic rules of grilling will ensure your next grilling adventure will be a tasty one. Enjoy.
