2. Fuel Type Collapsible BBQs can be found in various fuel types, including charcoal, propane, and electric. Choose a fuel source that is convenient for your camping style and ensure you have adequate supplies for your trip.
Many grills have a powder coated finish, usually black. The grill manufacturer will not honor any warranty to the finish caused by overheating the sides or top of the grill, whether by heat from your burning charcoal or the sudden and intense heat of the GrillGun. Too much heat from the GrillGun will overheat and burn off the finish. If you are using a power coated grill and are concerned about exposing the bare metal by overheating it, light your charcoal on another surface such has a rock or piece of metal that won’t catch on fire and pour the burning charcoal into the grill once it is lit (similar to lighting your charcoal with a charcoal chimney). Many grills have an internal tray for the charcoal, allowing you to light the charcoal directly without flaming the insides of the grill and burning off the finish on the outside. Be careful of where you aim the GrillGun at the charcoal if this is a concern.
1. Select Your Pellets Choose high-quality wood pellets that complement the flavor of your food. Common choices include hickory, mesquite, applewood, and cherry. Each type of wood imparts different flavors, so choose based on your preference and the type of food you’re cooking.
