BBQ - Getting the grill marks

There's two commonplace patterns to grill marking: the single strip and the crosshatch.

Either one you choose, the food should start out at a 45 degree angle to the grate

The trick is to think of the grill as the face on a clock:

1. Place steaks, chicken, or even fish pointing to the ten o'clock position on a hot grill.
2. After 2 minutes, rotate the meat a quarter-turn to the right, to two o'clock.
3. Two minutes later, flip the meat over uncooked side down, grill marks up-pointing to ten o'clock.
4. In 2 minutes, rotate it to two o'clock again until it's cooked to your liking.

This leaves a diamond grid that will let everyone know that you're a true grill master.

For the single strip you just don't rotate the meat to two o'clock. You just do ten o'clock on both sides.

BBQ - Knowing When To Turn a Steak

With all meat, when it releases easily from the grill it's time to turn it, but there are other signs that a steak is ready for the first turn: 

• The sounds of sizzling will decrease as the steak carmelizes.
• when you see the liquid from inside the steak start to accumulate on the surface of the meat , turn it

Be careful not to burn it!

A perfectly smoked steak,mixed greens (I personally picked and cooked; collard, turnips & mustards) and canned baked beans (I could have made them from scratch but don't eat enough of them to bother)

BBQ - Steaks and The Four-Finger Thermometer

Form the "okay" sign, touching the tip of your thumb to the tip of your forefinger. The pad of flesh at the base of your thumb will feel soft and squishy — exactly the same way a rare steak feels when you poke the top with your forefinger. Now move the tip of your thumb to the tip of your middle finger: That's medium-rare. Thumb to the tip of your ring finger: medium. Thumb to pinkie: well-done.

BBQ - Steaks

When grilling steaks, ensure the meat is at room temperature before you put it on the grill. If you grill a cold steak it won't cook evenly and you could end up burning the outside and having no-heat in the center of your meat.

When grilling steaks you should, only turn the steak once. Over turning meat will lead to meat that is tough and chewy
