The secret to cleaning your barbecue portable charcoal grill.

The secret to cleaning your barbecue portable charcoal grill.

When it comes time to prepare for the summer season, it's time to start thinking about the cleaning the portable charcoal grill.

That is the time to do a few routine checks and preparations which will keep your barbecue operating safely for the season. Cleaning the inside of your portable charcoal grill.

The first step to annual barbecue maintenance is cleaning. It has to be done!The secret to cleaning your portable charcoal grill is to do it every time you use it, but don't go over the top-a coat of natural food oils on the cast iron parts protects them from rust.

Eventually those oils, fats and burnt-on food will build up excessively and need to be removed.

Warm barbecues are easier to clean than cold ones, so start it up for a short time first then turn it off and disconnect the gas before dismantling the entire barbecue to wash all the parts one by one.

The portable charcoal grill can be spread out on some newspaper and scraped clean with a grill scraper, which is normally specially shaped to fit around the grill bars.Alternately, grab a grill stone.

These man-made stone blocks are soft enough to grind to the shape of the portable charcoal grill as you use them, removing grease and burnt-on food as you go.

This is a great tool as it customizes to your grill shape.Spray on some cooking oil before scrubbing the portable charcoal grill clean with warm water and soap mixed with white vinegar to remove any residue.

Once dry, spray on a little more oil and spread it with a paper towel or cloth. Make sure that the soap mixture is well cleaned off.

If you have ceramic flame-tamers or cooking grids these should be cleaned with soapy water and a brass wire barbecue brush. Soak in the soapy water for an hour first.

how to use the vents to control heat of potrable charcoal grill.

How to use the vents to control heat of potrable charcoal grill.

My grate just died after about 10 years of heavy use. Rather then buy a replacement grate, I wasn't thinking and just purchased a whole new portable charcoal grill.

The next day I purchased a replacement grate online from the weber grill propane folks and that transaction was very smooth as has always been the case with Amazon.

So now I have two functioning portable charcoal grill.. It seems to me that the food sits closer to the charcoal on this then it does full sized grills, so heat has never been an issue with mine.
Although the portable charcoal grill may loose it's heat a little faster as you can't really make a pile of charcoal or stack the brickets very much.

I actually think it is easier to burn things on this portable charcoal grill then others, and learning how to use the vents to control heat is something you will need to do.

Honestly though, this is the only portable charcoal grill I have any real experience with and I love the portability and often wrap it in a trash bag and take it to state parks for 'eating out'.

My only complaint is they have changed the handles to plastic on the new models which now require mits to handle during the process.

The old model had wood handles and I never needed a mit to take the cover off and check my food.

How to portable charcoal grill make burger


How to portable charcoal grill make burger


Start with fresh ground chuck. Chuck is the most flavorful type of ground beef, and comes from a single cut of beef. Plain "ground beef" can include meat from all over the animal.

Make sure the chuck has a fat content of at least 15 to 22 percent to ensure juiciness. If you prefer your burgers well done, ask your butcher for a higher fat content. This will allow you to cook them more without drying them out.

Chill the beef well before forming patties. Wash your hands well, then form the patties.
Make each patty by forming about half a pound of ground chuck into a tight ball about the size of a baseball. Firmly press ball into a flat cake, first between your hands, then onto a clean cutting board.

Use a spatula or other straight-edged tool to "pull in" the sides of the patty so that they remain together and tight.Form patties about 1/2- to 3/4-inch thick. Make the diameter about 1/2 inch larger than the bun to allow for shrinkage.Build a hot fire in the portable charcoal grill. Lightly oil the bars with vegetable oil - pour oil onto a paper towel, then hold the towel with tongs to wipe the oil onto the portable charcoal grill bars.

Season the burgers on both sides with salt and pepper. Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper give the best flavor.Place the burgers on the portable charcoal grill over direct heat. Cook about 3 to 4 minutes per side, turning once. Do not press down on the burgers with the spatula during cooking - this only squeezes out the juices, encourages flame-ups and dries out the burger.

Check doneness by peeking inside a patty with a spatula, or use an instant-read food thermometer inserted into the center of the patty. (See Tips for recommended temperature.)
Serve on fresh buns with any toppings you prefer: cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, onion, pickles and condiments such as ketchup, mayonnaise or mustard.

How to use portable charcoal grill.

How to use portable charcoal grill.

Just fired this little guy up for the first time today and WOW! It cooked fast and even really awesome job. And with the hickory chips I added it evenly smoked my sirloin burgers to perfection! Must be the small dome shape that just works wonders.

To break it in I used frozen sirloin hamburgers from Sam's Club. You can actually fit five of those large burgers on this tiny grill perfectly. When done I justed closed the vents top and bottom and it put out the coals for use later.

My large stainless portable charcoal grill is now retired. If I'm entertaining I'd much rather have two or three of these little Smokey Joe grills than one large weber grill propane, no kidding.

And three Smokey Joe Silver grills cost far less than that monster did. Oh and btw I'm sure it would be a great camping grill too.

How to Fix a Portable Charcoal Grill

How to Fix a Portable Charcoal Grill

After cooking my dinner, I'd shut the side and top air vents thus suffocating the fire. I found I could get two, three, and sometimes four meals from a single load of charcoal (depending on cooking times). And, on picnics, the fire would be out and the charcoal grill "touchable" after about 15 minutes.

The portable charcoal grill is large enough to handle most meals for say 6 to 8 persons and even small (4-6 lb) chickens, but if you're cooking turkey, this isn't the portable charcoal grill for you. I'm now on my second "G-A" grill.

The first bounced around the world with me in Korea, Yemen, China, and the U.S. until the movers crushed it in 1993. Ended up contacting Weber directly when I couldn't find a replacement locally, and number 2 is in good shape after 8 years of rigorous use.

How to Clean a Portable Charcoal Grill

How to Clean a Portable Charcoal Grill

When the ashes are cold, remove them from the collector pan beneath the grill.

  • Allowing ashes to collect in the bottom of the grill for days or weeks will impede air flow and can collect moisture, causing your grill to rust.
  • Don't worry too much about baked-on grease or juices that have collected on the walls of the lid or bottom of your grill; it has no effect on how well your grill will perform.
  • Periodically use a wire brush to brush any flakes from the interior walls.
  • If you really want to make your Portable Charcoal Grill shine, remove the ashes and grill grates. Hose the grill out, then scrub with warm, soapy water and a fine steel wool pad.
  • You can also clean the grates and the exterior of the Portable Charcoal Grill with warm, soapy water and fine steel wool.
