Shashlichok & Newbie
Hey Shashlichok, I just wired an Arduino to monitor my grill temperature, but it keeps swinging like a pendulum. Got any grilling tricks to keep the heat steady without losing that smoky flavor?
Hey, that swing’s just the grill’s way of breathing. First, give your grill a good pre‑heat – let it sit a few minutes before you even turn on the fire. Then keep a tight lid on the grill most of the time; a little vent works best for that steady simmer. If you’re using wood chips, soak ’em in water first so they give off smoke slowly instead of a sudden burst. And remember, a good basting brush with a bit of butter or oil can keep the meat from drying while you’re managing the heat. Keep it steady, and the flavor will still kick in like a good joke at a backyard party. Happy grilling!
