*Direct heat is good for quick-cooking ingredients such as thin chops, chicken breasts or cut up vegetables. Use the hottest area, right above the coals. (hot zone) *The cooler zone allows indirect heat to circulate around a larger cut, like a whole chicken or brisket. Place the food away from the coals and cook with the lid on.

*No matter what you are grilling this summer, build a two-zone fire. This means the coals are banked to one side of the grill, giving you a hot side and a cooler area. (For a gas grill, simply turn one burner on and leave the other off or on low.)(Source: BON APPETIT)
