Achieve deep, smoky flavor on your grill in only twenty minutes

How to add more flavor the next time you grill steak or chicken · 3:12 · Video: Ethan Chlebowski · Watch at the source

In short: You do not need to spend hours smoking brisket or ribs to get that classic wood-fired taste. By using a specific charcoal grill setup, you can infuse chicken and skirt steak with authentic smoke in a fraction of the time.

The secret to rapid smoke infusion lies in mastering your grill's heat zones. By arranging your charcoal to create both direct and indirect heat, you can manage the cooking process while introducing wood for smoke. This technique allows you to replicate the flavor profile of long-cooked barbecue in just 20 minutes.

This method is particularly effective for thinner cuts like skirt steak or poultry, which cook quickly enough to benefit from the immediate flavor impact of wood smoke without requiring the lengthy, low-temperature sessions typically associated with traditional barbecue.
