Question

when you use a gas bbq do you leave the gas running all the time or do the lava coals retain the heat

Answer 1

Many grilling recipes for things like steak, boneless chicken breast, pork chops, burgers, etc. recommend grilling over a direct-medium fire (350°F to 375°F) on a covered grill. Grilling with the grill covered helps to maintain a consistent temperature and reduce flare-ups.

Many grill manufacturers recommend that you start the grill on high (for about 10 minutes) to get the grilling surface searing hot, then reduce the settings to medium for grilling.

The purpose of the lava rocks is not to retain heat, but to provide a hot surface for the juices to vaporize, which is where that great bbq flavor comes from.

For grilling times, we use the cookout calculator at charcoalbob.com. Just enter the details of the things you'll be grilling, and it will give you instructions for how to grill steaks, boneless chicken breasts, pork chops, etc. just the way you want them. It also has grilling tips.

We also like to spray the items we're grilling lightly with Pam for Grilling. It helps to prevent them from sticking to the grill and also helps with searing.

For things like steaks, burgers, etc. get the grilling surface searing hot, reduce the heat to direct-medium, grill with the lid closed and you should be good to go.

Answer 2

The purpose of the lava rocks is to vaporize the juices that drip from the meat that is being cooked, giving the meat the grilled flavor that we all love. Adjust the temperature as necessary to maintain your desired heat.

Answer 3

You leave the gas running, the coals just maintain an even temperature.

Answer 4

turn down to low when its very hot
