Unless you only cook using a microwave, you most likely have most, if not all of the equipment you need to start barbecuing. It isn't something so mysterious that you need highly specialized tooling to give it a shot.
If you do end up becoming well passionate about barbecuing, there's no end to your options for upgrading and addition your tool kit, with what is already ready and with an ever growing market, with new items showing up approximately every day.
Smoker Grill
However, you should start small.
Even though an ultra fancy, high end smoker looks great and comes with bells and whistles that leave you in awe, some of world's best barbecue comes off a homemade barrel smoker, the perfect opposite of modern, high tech equipment. With a solid understanding of barbecue concepts, you can make it work regardless of your equipment's circumstances.
Choosing A Smoker
Long ago, citizen used to smoke meat in a pit that the dug. So you don't need to spend a lot of money on the equipment. Using less high-priced options might need you to work a little harder and keep a closer watch on the temperature to make sure it remains steady.
By no means does that mean that you can't make great barbecue, so don't be shy. A charcoal grill can be an adequate make-shift smoker.
Here are some ideas about how you can use varied equipment for barbecuing and some of their pros and cons.
Barbecuing Using A Charcoal Grill
You can get a feel of barbecuing using a charcoal grill as a smoker. If you enjoy smoking, you would probably like to upgrade and a large kettle grill with a lid would be a good place to start.
The significant variation in the middle of grilling and barbecuing is that when you are grilling, you cook directly over the heat source, while barbecue doesn't directly use the heat source. In order to barbecue using a grill, follow these instructions:
1. Prepare your heat source.
With a chimney starter, light the charcoal.
2. Add the charcoal to the kettle.
Once the charcoal has been heated, heap the hot charcoal onto only one side of the kettle's bottom grate. On the other side, leave space for the meat.
3. Add wood onto the charcoal.
Take soaked wood chunks or wood chips packed in an aluminum-foil packet and put it directly onto the coals.
4. Get ready to cook.
Place the top grate onto the kettle and heat it up for a few minutes.
5. Thought about put meat on the grate.
Put the meat on the side of the grill, opposite the charcoal.
6. Close the lid to smoke the meat.
Make sure that the vents or intake are partially open to keep oxygen spellbinding over the charcoal and to allow the heat to circulate throughout the grill. Draw heat and smoke toward the meat by adjusting the upper vent or exhaust, so that it is above the meat and opposite the fire.
Keep track of the temperature with a candy thermometer by inserting it into the vent on the grill's lid. (Make sure the vent is positioned such that it is directly over the food being cooked so read the temperature of the area that you're the most involved about.) To increase the heat, open the vents farther and to decrease the heat, narrow the vents. You can add more charcoal to increase the heat by a few degrees.
Since the heat is only generated on one side of the grill, you'll have to stir nearby the meat normally to allow for the separate pieces to have about the same exposure to the charcoal. This helps cook your meat more uniformly.
