Among their suggestions are:

* Opting for lean, well-trimmed cuts of meat and poultry to prevent fire flare-ups and excess smoke.

* Trimming any remaining visible fat, and choosing lean cuts of meat.

* Marinating meat for added flavor and tenderness.

* Turning beef occasionally for even cooking and browning.

* Cutting off any burnt or charred pieces before eating should minimal overcooking occur.
