The Royal Gourmet Grill – 30 inch Charcoal

The Royal Gourmet Grill is a great grill to learn to be a Pitmaster. With this grill, you have plenty of room to learn about fire management and the space needed for your grilling. You will have options for grilling and smoking that other grills do not provide you.

The Royal Gourmet Grill gives you the opportunity to learn about fire-management. Techniques for getting the most out of your grill and smoker will be discussed in this review. You will have the chance to sharpen your skills for grilling.

We will discuss some of the best practices for grilling and smoking different types of foods for a better grilling and dining experience. Knowing these practices will save you a great deal of frustration and poorly cooked food. You want to become the best and have friends and family tell others about how well you can grill(even better than the masters).

Your Cooking Area Is Awesome

This grill has 811 square inches of cooking space. That is more than enough room to grill almost anything. You will be able to grill several items at once. It will depend upon how long each item has to be grilled. Some items will be put on to grill at the very end to prevent overcooking.

Before you begin grilling, decide which foods you will cook first. Personally, if it is something that I want to eat before my large item is fully cooked, I will grill my small items first.

In some cultures, the smaller items are cooked last to build anticipation of the feast to come. Another reason to cook the smaller items last is, so the sides have time to be prepared. I do it like this because my lid stays shut while grilling the larger item(such as a brisket). The saying that I believe in is “if you’re lookin’, you ain’t cookin’.”

There is so much truth to this saying. It is true that “if you’re lookin’, you ain’t cookin’ ” because every time you open the lid you are letting out heat and smoke. That is bad for the cooking process. Your grill will have to get back up to temperature and the smoke will have to fill your grill again. That can cause a stall in the cooking process and leads to a tougher piece of meat.

Let’s Talk About the Assembly of Your Grill

Assembling your Royal Gourmet Grill is very straightforward. When you unbox your grill, make sure that you put them in a place where you can check them off the owner’s manual. The owner’s manual will be included with some of the parts. Once you have the owner’s manual, READ IT COMPLETELY!!!!!!!

Once you have read it, double-check the parts list to ensure you have all of them. If any parts are missing, you will either need to return to the place of purchase or contact the manufacturer for the missing parts. It is best not to assemble your grill without the necessary parts. Use the tools suggested for the assembly; this way, you are less likely to overtighten the screws.

Your First Burn

This is one of the most important reasons to do your “first burn.” Your first burn is important for several reasons. The most important reason is to burn off the oils that were put on the grill as it was being manufactured. The residue from those oils will ruin the flavor of whatever you are grilling. It does not matter if it is meat, fish, vegetables, or fruit.

The next reason, which is also extremely important, is to find out whether or not you have any leaks that allow smoke to escape. If you have smoke escaping, then you also have heat escaping. This will have a direct effect on how well your grill performs. There are several methods of correcting this problem. Correcting these leaks is easy and inexpensive.

Keeping Your Smoke In The Chamber

First, you will need to have medium heat to find the leaks. You will need to purchase some LavaLock gasket material and some LavaLock RTV sealant to reduce the number of leaks on your grill. Measure some of the gasket material for the length of the lid and apply it to the leaking areas.

If you are using the sealant around the firebox, it is best to apply it before attaching the firebox. Sealing the area between the firebox and the grill can still be done, even if you have already attached the firebox. Simply apply the sealant on the seam where the two meet and let it set up overnight before starting a fire in the firebox.

Start Experiencing Your New Royal Gourmet Grill

Now at long last, it is time to start experiencing your new Royal Gourmet Grill. You have assembled your grill and have taken care of any issues with the smoke leaving the chamber. It is time to grill. What to grill first? That question is often asked, and finding the correct answer is still unknown.

You have reached the point in your journey where impatience is starting to set in. Don’t be afraid to ask questions from other Pitmasters about how they do things. The more information you have before you begin grilling, the better.

Every tip you get can help you as long as you keep in mind that you may find a better way for you that has not been mentioned. Keep learning and writing down anything that gives you a way to improve your skills. You may want to start a journal on how each grilling experience went. This way, you can look back and see what works and what doesn’t.

Know Your Tools

You may want to take it easy the first time or two until you get used to your grill. One thing I would like for you to do first is to be sure you have the right equipment for handling your food.

I like to keep up with my tools, so I keep them in the case they come in when not in use. As you can see, I have my tongs, baster, spatula, and fork altogether. One item I did not mention was the grill brush. You will need one of these to help extend the life of your grates.

Having the right tools for the job makes it easier. I prefer tongs that are extra long since it keeps my hands and arms away from the heat. This is especially important if you are grilling on high heat or have a large quantity to move around on the grill.

A spatula comes in handy when flipping burgers or steaks. Some people use tongs for turning steaks. A basting brush comes in handy when you occasionally need to put on a barbeque sauce or simply apply a marinade or other liquids to help maintain the right level of juiciness of your meats.

Tips for Heat Management

This Royal Gourmet Grill review helps you understand that for longer cooks, you will need to maintain your heat level. A little tip that has saved me time and money is to use a grill brick. It is just what it sounds like, a brick. The brick will help maintain the heat in your grill for longer periods which cuts down on the amount of charcoal or wood used.

Learn to use your dampers to maintain your heat. There will be times when you will need a large airflow and others when you will only need just a small airflow. Too much airflow will cause your fire to burn too hot and too fast. Too little airflow and your fire will eventually choke out because it had too little oxygen; this will also cause your food to cook unevenly.

As you gain experience grilling, thoughts of smoking a pork butt, brisket or roast may start coming into your mind. That is only natural! You have been learning by watching others do the grilling, and now it is your turn.

You have been on a mission to become a Pitmaster and have started your journey. There is nothing you can’t do in your quest to become a Pitmaster. With all of its features and space, this new grill gives you options as to what item to grill first.

Cleaning Your Grill With Ease

Cleaning your grill does not have to be complicated. The grill brush pictured above to the right of the basting brush is one of the most important pieces of equipment you will need for cleaning your Royal Gourmet Grill. Keeping your grill grates clean will help extend the life of your grates and grill.

Cleaning your grill is easy, especially if the grill is hot. The grill brush can be used to knock off the residue from the grate so that when you are ready to grill again, all you have to do is light your charcoal or wood. Several different types of grill brushes are excellent for keeping your grates clean and ready for use. You will need to find the one that works best for you.

Benefits

• Easy Assembly – Following the manufacturer’s enclosed manual, this grill is a breeze to put together. The instructions with the diagram made the assembly smooth.
• Extra Roomy – With the 811 square inches of space for grilling or smoking, you almost get lost because of so much room for anything you want to cook.
• Easy to move – Having the wheels on the grill makes it easy to reposition to take advantage of changing winds. I can get the best airflow into my chamber for grilling or smoking this way.

Drawbacks

• The first burn – revealed that it did not hold the smoke as well as it could have. This is not a big problem since you can use LavaLock gasket tape to seal the leaks. You can also use LavaLock sealant around the firebox to address the problem there.
• Chipping paint – you may see chipping and peeling paint after a couple of uses. Investing in some high-temperature paint to cover it may keep it from rusting.
• Air vents – sometimes the air vents stick and won’t align for proper air intake for quality smoking.
