* Start with a clean grill. Use a metal-bristle brush to remove food deposits from grill's last use
* Lightly oil the rack before grilling delicate foods like fish or very lean foods such as unmarinated chicken breasts
* Be sure coals are the correct temperature for the food you are cooking: medium for chicken breasts; medium-hot for salmon fillets; hot for steak
* Test the coals by holding your hand 5 inches above the cooking
surface. If you can keep your hand there for:
- 6 seconds, you have a low fire
- 5 seconds, you have a medium-low fire
- 3 to 4 seconds, you have a medium fire
- 2 seconds, you have a medium-hot fire
- 1 second, you have a very hot fire

Webmaster Comment: The palm test should work for gas and electric grills too. Gas and electric grills usually require 15 minutes of preheating(with grill covered) before you can proceed with cooking.
