CLEVELAND — It's been a long winter, but we've finally reached the start to grilling season!
We spoke to Billy Morris, owner of the Smokin' Rock N' Roll food truck about how to elevate our at-home grilling skills.
The first thing that makes a grill master is knowing your grill.
"Make sure you know your hot spots," Morris says. "Make sure you know where you place your food. Some of the edges get hot and it could burn your food. You don't want that."
Next, if you have a smoker, know your fire.
"Know what wood you want to smoke with, and know what a good smoke looks like. If you see a lot of grey smoke coming out of your smoker, you don't want that. It won't taste good."
Instead, Morris says aim for a clear smoke.
Finally, have fun! Morris stresses the best part of barbecuing is experimenting, being creative and bringing people together.
To elevate your grill game, Smokin' Rock N' Roll shared their rub recipe that they put on all of their meat:
- 2 cups brown sugar
- 2 cups paprika
- 1/4 cup onion powder
- 1/4 cup chili powder
- Dash of cayenne powder
- 2 cups black pepper
- 2 cups of salt
- 1/4 cup of granulated garlic
- Handful of blended herbs
According to Smokin' Rock N' Roll, it goes perfectly on any meat including pork, brisket, chicken and ribs.
