Why do black people put aluminum foil on their BBQ grill?

[Born2BKing]

I use foil with holes poked in it to let the juices marinate while it grills. Also you can cook longer with less fear of charring the skin.

You can smoke meat on almost all charcoal grills and a lot of gas grills, nothing retarded about owning one contraption that does both

You can do it but its much more difficult to control the heat on a charcoal grill. The key to smoking is having a consistent low temperature. I have both a smoker and a grill. Smoked ribs with a good rub>>>>>>>>ribs cooked on a grill till they're black then slathered with sauce.

And smoking with a gas grill

I make some wicked jerk chicken and jerk pork (old Jamaican recipe), where I let my meat marinate in a closed bucket with spices 24-36 hrs before grilling, using pimento wood etc. There is no way in hell I would put foil on a grill to make jerk chicken and pork

I know people who put aluminum on their entire oven. They're all asian.

Breh, I agree with the smoke ribs, I got a recipe for ribs in smoker where im splashing solution of seasalt, brownsugar and beer on the ribs but are you using foil?

It's actually not if you know how to grill, its about having one area of your grill with either older coals so they're cooler or moving hot coals to the side for indirect heat, close most the vents to prevent oxygen from creating flare ups or making the coals get too hot again. and while a gas grill doesn't smoke as beautifully as charcoal, there are quite a few, especially the quality (not home depot/Walmart) grills, that give great flavor between having a barrel for the wood chips and multiple burners, and very high btu's.

Those grill brushes are cool, but you can get the same effect using half of an onion. Then I either rub the grate with oil or spray Pam on it.

Word? I didn't know that. I gota try that

Yep, works like a charm.

i dont put aliminum foil but i also dont clean it either. i dont be giving a fukk

dirty burgers for the click

 

[vaudevillevillain]

If you learned about grilling you would know not to put foil on the grill. Also, know that fire burns off the grease and skin or fat on the grill and with the use of a wirebrush you would know your grill is clean and its actually curing the grill surface for more effective and tastey grilling

now you starting to sound like a grill expert. i want no parts breh I never took classes or anything like that, just did what worked for me

Again. It's damn there impossible to keep a consistent, even, constant temperature with a "grill". I've seen a method where you close all the holes in the grill and add a fan and thermometer to get the desired effect, but it's much easier to use a smoker which was built for the purpose of creating that kind of cooking environment.

Yes you can use the indirect heat method that you posted, but it won't be truly smoked food. You can't use that method with any consistancy when cooking things that take 4-8 even 12 hours like pork shoulder, beef brisket, smoked turkey, etc

As for the gas/pellet smokers, they are a good substitute but nothing beats the real thing.

 

[vaudevillevillain]

Because grilling or more importantly cooking over fire creates complex chemical reactions on the surface of your food and creates flavor profiles that you will never get with foil in the way.

Also the best and most sterile way to clean anything is with heat. If you light the grill and let the fire do the cleaning for you it's easy to use a brush and scrape off the dust after the fire is done doing its job.

There is absolutely no reason to use foil other then ignorance

:yestare: i'll be damned having any cac tell me how to cook. my food tastes whether i use foil or not (i dont use it each and EVERY time) so i think i'll be iight with my reynolds wrap

Its all good nikka. The thing about the coli is that you can always learn and improve from the piff thats in these threads. That using the onion on the grill shyt had me like I aint know

 

[vaudevillevillain]

it's the equivalent of microwaving something instead of putting it in the oven

sure it might be faster, or easier...but it isn't the right way of doing it, and the quality will suffer as a result

it's just a cheap bootleg sleazy way of grilling, mainly for people who don't know what they're doing

why can't i cook something how i wanna cook it if the outcome is the same? :yestare:

no way is it equivalent to microwaving & putting something in the oven. microwaving be taking seconds breh

it's still grilling cheap, bootleg, sleazy or not. i'm sure you eat that frozen fast food from time to time so why you comin at me
