When grilling flare-ups are a common occurrence, especially when you are grilling fattier cuts of meat or chicken. There are a few things you can do if flare-ups are happening during your grilling.
The first thing you should do if you have a flare-up is reduce the amount of air. So, if you have the lid off of your grill put it back on. If you are using a charcoal grill once you have the lid back on close the top vent about halfway. This should cut down the flare-ups.
If you need to grill your foods with the lid off or the flare-ups are still happening even though you have the lid on, there is something else you can do. If it is still a problem, move the foods away from the heat source. If you foods are right over the heat flare-ups will happen more often, if you set the foods to cook indirect the flare ups will stop. You can try moving you food back over the heat source once the flare-ups stop.
