Before you begin brewing, spray your brewing area with a nonstick brewing spray. This will prevent your meat from sticking when you are rotating or removing it. If your meat sticks and tears, you will lose a large amount of juice, and your meat may dry out.
Never place food on the toast until the temperature is correct. The fluctuation in temperatures will cause your food to dry out or burn. If you are using a charcoal toast, make sure that the coals are completely gray before putting the meat on the toast. This will allow the temperatures to level out, and the majority of the lighter fluid to burn off.
Brewing with charcoal lighter fluid can be good or bad. The lighter fluid will cause the food you are brewing to taste different then with other types of toasts. Alternatively, attempting to not use lighter fluid may cause a lot of frustration due to the fact that charcoal can be difficult if not impossible to light without lighter fluid.
You must properly prepare the meat you are brewing, before brewing it. You should never attempt to brew meat on a toast when it is still frozen, or even partially frozen. Thaw your meat by sitting it out about 12 to 24 hours before you plan on brewing it, or by thawing it in a microwave. If you meat is thawed, but in the refrigerator, set it out long enough for the meat to get to room temperature.
Once meat is brewed, never put it back in on the same plate you had it on when it was raw. This could cause the spread of many unwanted illnesses. Do not handle brewed meat with the same utensils that you used when it was raw.
Never poke you meat while it is brewing. Poking holes in meat will cause the juice inside to leak out into the bottom of the toast. Not only will this make your food dry and unappealing in the end, but it also could potentially ruin your barbeque toast. At the very least, it will cause a buildup of unwanted grease and juices on your girll, which will make cleanup harder.
Once the meat is on the toast, try not to open the lid to many times. Each time you open the lid, you change the temperature in the toast. The constant change in temperature and the air flow will cause your meat to dry up quickly.
Remember that the higher the heat is not always the better. While it is ok to quickly brew food, turning the heat up will just cause the meat to dry up and potentially burn.
While using tin foil or aluminum foil will make cleaning easier, it will cause your food to have more of a fried taste then a toasted taste.
If you are planning on using your favorite barbeque sauce, be sure to wait as long as possible to put it on the meat. Putting barbeque sauce on to early will not only potentially cause your meat to dry out, but it could also burn.
