Mesquite FAQ
Quick answers, pro tips, and better cooks with 100% mesquite.
Grilling Tips
Lighting & airflow
- Use a chimney starter — no lighter fluid needed.
- Open vents fully to start; throttle down to control temp.
- Mesquite runs hot — start with less than you think and add as needed.
Cooking styles
- Hot and fast for steaks, fajitas, and burgers.
- Use two-zone fire: one hot, one cool for controlled finishing.
- Blend with milder wood if you want a softer smoke profile.
Flavor & care
- Let flames settle to glowing coals before cooking.
- Keep the lid closed to avoid flare-ups and keep heat steady.
- Store bags dry and off the ground between cooks.
