One of the most common mistakes of novice grillers is cooking every kind of food over the same heat—usually high direct heat to be exact.

It doesn’t matter if you are using a gas or a charcoal grill, a piece of junk or a pro series grill, you can still take advantage of the two-zone setup.
The two-zone setup is all about direct and indirect heat. Barbecue expert Meathead, from AmazingRibs.com, shows you how it’s done.
