Is Baked better than grilled?

Baking tends to give food a more delicate texture and taste. Grilling, on the other hand, produces a bolder flavor and allows fat to drip off the meat, reducing its calorie count. However, baking can be just as healthy as long as you don't add oil, butter and other fats.

How many minutes do you cook fish?

Cook fish about 10 minutes per inch, turning it halfway through the cooking time. For example, a 1-inch fish steak should be cooked 5 minutes on each side for a total of 10 minutes. Pieces less than 1/2 inch thick do not have to be turned over. Test for doneness.

Does charcoal need to be GREY before cooking?

Wait until your charcoal has burned to an even temperature before placing any meat on the grill grates. When the charcoal firsts turns white, it is hot on the outside, but still cool on the inside. You want to wait until at least 2/3rds of the charcoal have turned white and the charcoal has stopped smoking.

Can you cook on black charcoal?

You can. If you add them directly over the burning coals it might lower your temp. If you're just extending the snake then it's not a problem. If you do need to add and only have the option of putting them on top of the burning coals, I would light them first.
