Today we're gonna show you how to quickly set up
and operate a kettle grill.
And it's real easy to do.
What we have here is the ash left by the last cook,
and to clean it up it's pretty easy.
Alright, just get yourself a paper towel,
and you just get that ash down into the lower bucket.
And while we're doing that,
we're gonna set up this chimney.
Alright, this is a charcoal chimney,
this simply helps you get that charcoal going real quick.
Use some newspaper under it like that,
and you fill it with good quality charcoal.
Fill it to the top.
And generally, we use about this much charcoal
for most of our grilling.
And a lot of our grilling is indirect.
Alright, I will show you about that.
Now, just light the newspaper at the bottom of the chimney.
And it's gonna take about, maybe 15 minutes
to get it to where we want it.
Simple enough.
Alright, got most of that ash down in
the lower clean-out bucket.
And because our last cook was real greasy,
we're scraping it out as well.
You can use a putty knife, or what you have.
Alright, now, we're gonna put the charcoal grate back in.
And the chimney, ah, it's going
just about the way we like it.
Now, we're gonna throw the charcoal indirect.
This is the indirect method, we're gonna put it on one side.
And this will give you a lot of control over your cook.
Now we'll put the grill grate in.
Put the cover on, and we're gonna do this first
because essentially we're gonna sterilize.
We're gonna kill all them little critters
that might be in there, one way or the other.
It'll go up to about 400 degrees fahrenheit,
and we'll do it for about, maybe five minutes or so.
Now, if you got girly-man hands,
eh, you might wanna use your gas grill.
But otherwise, don't be afraid to get your hands dirty.
Alright, we're ready.
Now, like I said, we are doing the indirect grilling method.
This is often used to get a lot of control over your cook.
But, now, we've had that high temperature in the grill,
I'm gonna use some aluminium foil
to clean off that grill grate.
Now, yeah, got some chops.
We're gonna sear each side of those chops first.
And you can do this with chicken, burgers, whatever you got.
And then, after the sear, we'll pull them
opposite to hot coals, put the cover on,
and let it continue to cook.
And it won't take long at all.
Of course, you got your heat adjustment,
just by opening and closing the vent
you can control the heat real easy.
And, through the miracle of time, these chops are done.
