The Do's
Great value grill: Someone please add :)

The Dont's
Don't play with the food on the grill. Flip it once (or twice if need be), that's all.

Be careful. Once your grill gets used you can have one heck of a grease fire and destroy your grill.
I singed my face as a 10 year old (but that was leaving fires on while closing tank valve instead of closing valve then lighting new fire to burn out excess)

Is this only on a perfectly evenly heated pan where juices cant fall through or also on grill grates?

How thick are your steaks? How long do you leave it in between flips?

When doing chicken do you like the bbq sauce on the burnt side?
Only on DDF does 24/6 mean 24/5/half/half

It may be more how you flip then how often.... you can 0ftennsee juices kinda pooling on to of the meat that ideally you would want to slide it straight off the grill onto a board/ pan to sit

Grill mats are the greatest thing for grilling vegetables. I got them about 2 years ago and they have been game changing from what I used to have when half the onions would fall through. They are really cheap and last forever. Wondering if anyone has any other good uses for them.

the problem with those is that it takes up too much room on the grill. With a mat you can overlap other food onto the mat if you need more space

May as well just do it on the stove then (if using a gas grill).

For veggies I find a grill basket to work well (search on amazon). Although you can really just get another grate/wire rack (with smaller slats) and place perpendicular atop the current grate.

Any recommendations for reducing smoke when using a cast iron grill pan indoors? I know that I need to get it super hot to get a good enough sear, but at a certain point, it's not worth it due to the smoke.
