Temperature and Oil
Stainless steel makes for great gas tubing in any barbecue but also makes an excellent grill. The trick with a stainless steel grill is to coat lightly with oil and never heat too quickly.
I’ve used everything from the rotisserie to roasting pans but when you can slow roast directly on the grill and not lose any food to sticking… well it just makes life easier.
Poultry Slow Roasted
By lowering the temperature and trying to avoid direct heat you can extend the cooking time without drying out poultry. Simply heat the grill and slide the bird back and forth to allow the natural fats to coat the grill.
You’ll rarely lose more than piece of skin off the back and more often than not leave the grill almost completely clean when you’re done.
If you own a tenderizer (or you’re really good with a fork) try seasoning the skin beforehand. I’ve had just as much luck keeping things juicy with this method as with using a marinade injector.
I’m watching a rafter of wild turkeys making their rounds through the woods while standing next to my grill. They can’t hide now that most of the leaves have fallen and I’m still curious how they’d taste barbequed. Being a lover of naturally raised or fresh game, I’m confident it might be the best turkey ever to come off my grill.
The grill and barbeque tools are clean and ready for the challenge but unless I get my hunting license in a hurry the first wild turkey I cook won’t be from this group. A friend has told me that I can purchase one in the butcher shop but knowing where it came from is part of the allure.
I’m a proponent for year round grilling. I get the rotisserie going over the winter holidays for the slow roast. Provided you can keep your grill out of the elements a number of off season barbeque possibilities emerge.
For years our thanksgiving turkey has been grilled outdoors. Even grilling salmon keeps all the smells out of the house and only requires a quick visit now and then. So I keep the barbeque tools handy because my grilling season never ends.
