I am fairly new to cooking on a charcoal grillI know some meats need more time to cook that othersWhen do you keep the vents open and are you ever supposed to close them? I was thinking about grilling a BBQ beef brisket and i hear those take alot of timeWould the vents be closed when im grilling a BBQ beef brisket?
Stephen Raichlen says to use the indirect method of grilling for brisketThe coals are pushed to the sides of the grill and the food cooks in the center- over an aluminum foil pan, not over the coalsThe grill is always covered, and the vents are used to regulate the heat (open to raise the temperature, and closed to lower it.
