BBQ TIPS
 Pay attention throughout cooking – if anything looks like it may burn,
move it further away from the heat so it will cook more slowly. Raising the
rack to around 30cm above the coals should be just right.
 Cover the BBQ with a lid as much as possible during the cooking process,
especially for larger cuts. This helps them cook more evenly, to lock in
the BBQ flavours and prevent flare-ups.
