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

[Higher Tech]

Grilled meat has better flavor and is more tender if allowed to cook in its own juices. Without foil, the juices fall through to the coals.​

If the meat dries out, you overcooked it. It's not about letting it sit in it own juices.

i'd rather have my meat taste like meat instead of some thick ass syrupy sauce that ruins the whole flavor


i was raised to believe if you gotta put bbq sauce on the meat, it aint hittin for shyt

as long as you season and cook it correctly you dont need it

well i was raised in texas, so bbq sauce gets the green light. i mean, you don't slather the shyt on, but a light coat of sauce when the meat is almost done is . i think it more of a regional thing than anything. i watch enough cooking shows to know that some regions don't use sauce and some swear by it. but i'm with you on the seasoning.....

That aint grilling breh, ..its lack of education and c00nery. You know restaurants and chefs dont put foil on their grills right?

Come on dog, lol. It ain't right, but it ain't c00nin.

my dad beat me over this once

being the free thinker and modernist as a youth i remember telling him the food cooks better if it sits on the grill and if it sits on the foil its not really being grilled.

he gave me the

"non-sense my yute, if di grill gets dirty and the juices fall through, it'll ruin and mosh up the bbq so! cha! *kiss teeth*"

"but daddy, thats why they make the special tools and cleaners!"

"Eh Bwoi! *proceeds to get smacked around*"

Not for cleaning the grill? Not for under the grill? But foil on the grill??

Grilled meat has better flavor and is more tender if allowed to cook in its own juices. Without foil, the juices fall through to the coals.​

The juices that fall into the coals create smoke that permeates whatever you're cooking and adds even more flavor.

Ya'll missing out on the extra flavor

Grilling in foil??! why not use a stove? or atleast cop one of these george foreman joints..

therefore you can save your "juices" and pour it back over and toss it in the oven to lock in the flavor. I cook my steaks on the foreman for that reason but grilling in foil is stupid brehs...

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

Green Egg does both, well............

 

[Field Marshall Bradley]

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.

You aint got these!!!!!!!!!

Brazilians have perfected the art of grilling and BBQing. We don't fukk with ANY foil.

You see tin foil on that masterpiece teaching the meat? You put that shyt under the coal if anything, and that's rare (pictured here)
