When it comes to greasing the grates, avocado oil spray is one of Founder + CEO Lisa's go-tos!
Why we're obsessed with this oil alternative:
🔥 Its high smoke points mean avocado oil can withstand heat over 500°F (aka it won’t break down or cause any stickiness that might alter food texture or dirty your grill 😉👏)
🥑 It enhances allll the savory notes in your food, making your favorite grilled dishes even tastier
At CowgirlQ, we love ALL types of different BBQ. Swipe to learn more about the regions of American BBQ and what they're known for! 🍖
🌴CALIFORNIA: using red oak over beds of charcoal for a slightly sweet, balanced, smoky flavor.
☀️TEXAS: using white oak over a hot-burner for heavy smoke flavors.
🌊HAWAII: popular sweet, fruity sauces influenced by Asian and South Pacific cuisines.

flavor.

Never put water on the coals ‼️🔥 While it might sound like a foolproof way to speed up the process, it simply makes an ash mess and doesn't dial down the heat. Instead, smother the fire.
