Grilling Guide III: How to Roast Meat and Vegetables on Your Memphis Grill
There are four excellent ways to cook using your Memphis Wood Fire Grill: sear, smoke, bake and roast. When you want tender, delicious, and perfectly cooked meats and vegetables, roasting is the way to go. What Is Roasting? Do I roast a chicken or bake it?

Grilling Guide II: How to Properly Smoke Your Meat
Last month, we talked about how to perfectly sear your favorite cuts of meat. This month, we want to ring in the cooler weather the right way by showcasing another favorite cooking method of ours: smoking. Smoking: Cooking Your Meat Low & Slow Smoking involves surrounding your meat in smoke, cooking it at a low temperature over time, or “low and slow” as grilling enthusiasts say.
