- Coals should be medium hot.
- Grill for about half the suggested time or until browned on one side, then turn the pieces over and continue grilling for the remaining time or until done.

- Chicken and pork must always be cooked until well done. For chicken, the juices should run clear when pierced with a fork near the end of the suggested grilling time.
