One of the main advantages of using a grill basket is the convenience it offers. Unlike traditional grilling methods, where smaller vegetable pieces might fall through the grates, a grill basket keeps everything contained. This means you can grill a variety of vegetables without worrying about losing any to the flames. The perforations in the basket allow for optimal smoke penetration, allowing the veggies to soak up that delicious grilled flavor while developing beautiful char marks.

Cold smoking is a technique that involves smoking food at temperatures below 100°F (38°C). This method doesn't cook the food; instead, it infuses it with a rich, smoky flavor while preserving its original texture and moisture. Foods such as cheese, fish, nuts, and even vegetables can be transformed into delicious smoky treats through this technique. The use of a pellet smoker makes the process not only easier but also more efficient, allowing for precise temperature control and the ability to maintain a consistent smoke output.
The thermometer that’s built into the lid of your charcoal grill will give you a good basic idea of the temperature inside. Backyard cookout staples like burgers and chicken typically cook best on a charcoal grill from around 375º to 450º. Seared steaks need a higher heat, from 500º to 650º. At these heat levels, food takes only a few minutes to cook and you should be watching the grill like a burger-loving hawk.
