Pro Grilling Tip

My grill has 4 burners. The knobs are laid out where 12 o clock is off, with 6 being low and 9 being high.
I went out to grill last night, and 2 of the burners had been on the lowest low instead of off. Looked the same because the dials are straight up and down on either setting.
So yeah, dont be in a rush and spin the dials go up and down. It's a good way to waste a recently refilled tank of propane.

I hope I never do that. Mine is hooked to a natural gas line with a virtually unlimited supply to pump into the atmosphere!

That is why I always turn off the valve on my tank when finished with the grill.

You'd think that somebody that has a blog about grilling would do this too
(Sorry, 74Novaman, you asked for that

Propane! Actually I have both gas and charcoal. Gas is good for grilling on weekdays after work.
Maybe not as good as charcoal, but better than an oven or frying pan.

Charcoal?

I use wood. Charcoal is just for getting the fire started.

I love the episode when Hank's wife and son use charcoal to grill when Hank is out of town.

Lump charcoal in a Big Green Egg here, but I wouldn't be anywhere near a pro.
