Origin - Where Did It All Start?
Have you ever stood there grilling and wondered where did this wonderful tradition come from? Ever since my love for barbecuing began, I have always wondered just that! Truth is though, after doing all my research no one can clearly say where the barbecue originated from. Most say it came from Africa and was passed down from generation to generation. African tribes used stone, like furnaces to cook their meals under a fire. What we do know is man invented fire and with that he realised something...cooked meat was tastier and easier to digest than raw meat. The earliest compound dish was a crude paste that came about by the Roman Legions, made by mixing water with cracked kernels and simple heating. These dishes were barbecues to them, they would hold the food above a fire and it would cook instead of just burn! This evolved over time and has become what we know today as barbecuing. Barbeque charcoal grills were born! Over the years countries have developed their own traditions and styles of grilling. In South Africa where I am from a barbecue is known as a braai. In Australia it is known as a barbie. What remains the same though is that no matter which part of the globe you are from barbecues are a part of family life. Okay, enough with the history leason...Let's moved forward!
What parts make up a charcoal grill? Barbecues come in many different shapes and sizes. Ranging from really large charcoal cookers to small portable units. What remains the same though is, they consist of the same basic parts to make it function. Let's have a look...i'm telling you this incase you ever decide to build one! The charcoal needs to be housed so that the flame can breathe and the coal can burn. This will generate the necessary heat to grill the food! Let's call it the charcoal pit. The next essential piece we need is a grill grid! If food goes directly over a flame it burns, we need the food over heat in order to cook. A grill grid does just that, it holds the food while allowing heat to pass through and cook your meat! Yes, I know there are other parts! Like the lid, legs and heck even flashing lights. But, without the charcoal pit and grill grid you don't have a charcoal grill! You can do without the rest, even the flashing lights!
I know, the worst part of barbecuing. This fact alone sometimes makes me lazy and instead of barbecuing i'll chicken out and make something in the kitchen. But it has to be done, a clean grill makes for a better meal! The maintaining part is just as important as i'm sure you don't want to be buying a new grill each summer? Well...do you? The easiest way I found is to make simple routines like when you're not using your barbeque charcoal grill, protect it from outdoor elements. You do this, you won't need to worry about scrapping off rust or having to clean it before you start grilling. Get yourself a cover made from nylon plastic or protective material, this bit is essential over long stints of non-use like over the winter period. Okay, so maybe there is a third essential part to a charcoal grill! A cover! Over time some parts may start to rust, i'm sorry but even the highest grade stainless steel will rust. Don't go out and buy a new grill, no need! Simple replace the rusted parts, most specialist BBQ shops sell parts. Nuts and bolts rust the quickest to go compared to the rest of the barbecue. Replace them as soon as you can! Come on it is easy to do! The problem with rust is it can end up in the food your grilling, trust me you don't want that! So what you waiting for? Is it a nice day? Get up let's get our barbeque charcoal grills and get barbecuing!!!
