- When choosing the right cut of meat for grilling, always make sure to choose a cut with a good amount of fat.
- A common mistake people make is making the grill too hot. Take your time when grilling and cook on a slightly less hot surface for longer periods.
- Use a thermometer to check doneness.
- Always select a good marinade or rub for your meat! In my hometown in north Germany, we grill a lot of Pork Neck, which is marinated overnight with a lot of smoked paprika and onions.

- Fresh meat grills best!
- Choosing a quality charcoal for the grill is important, as is arranging the charcoal properly.
- Resist the urge to open the lid too much when the meat is cooking.
- Marinades can really elevate grilled meat. One I use includes soy sauce, honey, vinegar, ground garlic, ground ginger, and oil, marinated for at least 30 minutes.
