Barbecues are a summer staple, but excessive smoke can ruin the fun—for you, your guests, and even the neighbors.
Fortunately, experienced grillers swear by a straightforward trick to dramatically cut down on smoke while keeping the fire going strong.
The secret? Sprinkle a pinch of coarse salt directly onto the embers.
1. Grab some coarse salt.
2. Toss a small pinch into the heart of the barbecue embers.
3. Repeat as needed if smoke builds up again.
Your barbecue will produce far less smoke, creating a cleaner, more enjoyable grilling experience. Bonus: This method helps the fire burn longer and more efficiently.
