Season the grill with olive oil and rosemary before you start Bring meat to room temperature before cooking as it will cook through quicker and will also drain fat better Spice it up - by adding a powdered spice to your meat If you are using coals let them turn grey before you start cooking Choose a sheltered spot to eliminate wind that may delay cooking time Always have a bucket of water on standby If you are grilling in the evening have ample lighting A clean grill burns better and doesn't leave a bad taste on foods When using wooden skewers always soak well in water before use Marinate overnight - it's magic, but remember to baste the meat during the last 5-10 minutes of grilling
