For many, it is a simple detail, but the height of the grill used for barbecuing has a lot to do with the cooking and the result. The height of the grill used for barbecuing is as important as the quality of the meat, offal or sausages that are bought for cooking. These details are more than important; they directly influence the success of the cooking. Barbecue experts know very well everything that is necessary to obtain the best cuts of meat.
In this case, if the height of the barbecue grill is abnormal because it is too high or too low, this tends to be a problem for those who are in front of the hot metal, having to use extra skills. If the barbecue is too high, the consumption of wood or charcoal will be more than abundant to reach the ideal temperature for barbecuing with all the details.
The same is true for a grill with short legs. If the barbecue chef is not careful, everything being grilled runs the risk of burning due to excessive, almost direct heat. In addition to the ideal height of the grill, there is also the question of what dimensions it should have, at least in the opinion of those who know most about barbecuing.
Barbecuing: what should be the ideal height of the grill
- A standard, traditional grill has a size suggested by barbecue experts, as opposed to what can be found in many places.
- It is normal for some grills to be between 15 and 20 centimetres high, which may be too high, according to many experts in cooking meat on hot iron.
- They recommend that a grill should be 11 centimetres high, which is ideal for using a normal amount of wood or charcoal, as well as being perfect for reaching the ideal cooking temperature.
Although there are no rules when it comes to taste, and every home has different sizes, it is recommended to buy or have a grill made that is 60 centimetres wide and 40 centimetres deep.
