The Golden Rules

+

A constant result starts with a stable kettle temperature.

+

Thick cuts require patience and a lower BBQ temperature.

+

Meat with a lot of connective tissue or fat needs extra time to become tender.

+

For thin slices, fire up the barbecue high for a quick preparation.

+

Keep in mind that muscles that have worked hard need to cook longer.

+

Tender pieces with little connective tissue are ready very quickly.
