    Great tips and some good facts. I definitely going to follow those tips. I'd like to add that make sure the grill is really hot first before you put the meat on and always use thongs. By the way, I like the volkswagen grill furniture. Reminds me of my granfather.

    The overall composition of this video is excellent, except for one thing: the breakneck speed at which content is presented. This detracts significantly from the educational experience.
