FAMILY FEATURES Th ere’s nothing better than fi r-ing up the grill and gathering in the backyard with family and friends. While everyone expects to see burgers, dogs and steaks, you can show your guests you’re a true barbecue master by serving up smoky, grilled appetizers fresh off the grill. Try a new fan favorite of the sea-son – Barbecue Meatball Skewers with Mozzarella— courtesy of Chris Lilly, world champion pit-master. Th is recipe for deliciously gooey grilled meatball skewers is a tasty way to kick the party off right. Th e key is a little trick all pit-masters know: the two-zone fi re. Simply put, the two-zone fi re splits the grill in half. Pile hot charcoal on one half for direct, high-heat cooking and searing, while leaving the other side free of charcoal for lower-tempera-ture cooking of dishes, such as appetizers and sides. Pitmasters and novice grillers alike choose Kingsford® char-coal to keep their grills burning bright. Th ese briquets light faster and burn hotter than other fuel sources. Follow these tips for creating the perfect two-zone charcoal fi re:

1. Light your coals using a chimney starter or lighter fl uid. For high heat, use a full chimney of charcoal or light a pile of about 100 briquettes. 2. Pour out your hot coals on one side or use a spatula or tongs to carefully move all the coals to cover 50 percent of the lower grill grate.

3. Th e void space, free of coals directly underneath the grates, is still hot. Food will cook there — just not as fast as on the direct side, right above the coals. 4. Use the hot side of your grill for direct cooking with high heat—for example, searing a steak to get good color, caramelization and grill marks. Use the other side

for slow, indirect cooking and to let foods cook through aft er sear-ing. Th e coal-free side also serves as a fl ame-free zone. In case of fl are-ups, just move your food to the indirect side until the fl ames subside, then move them back to the direct side to fi nish cooking. For more grilling tips and reci-pes, visit www.kingsford.com.

Fire Up the Grill with Barbecue Meatball Skewers

Barbecue Meatball Skewers with MozzarellaMakes: 20 meatball skewers

Prep time: 20 minutesCook time: 12 minutes

1 pound ground beef1/2 cup bread crumbs1/3 cup basil, chopped1 egg, scrambled3 tablespoons onion, diced1/2 teaspoon salt4 ounces fresh mozzarella2 cups KC Masterpiece Kansas City

Classic Barbecue Sauce20 3-inch wooden skewers

Build a charcoal fi re for indirect cooking using Kingsford® Charcoal by situating the coals on only one side of the grill, leaving the other side void. Preheat to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. In medium bowl, combine ground beef, bread crumbs, basil, egg, onion and salt. Mix well. Form about 20 meatballs using 2 tablespoons of beef mixture for each meatball. Place meatballs over in-direct heat and close grill lid. Cook for 10 minutes, or until internal tem-perature reaches 160°F.

While meatballs cook, form a ball of mozzarella (1 teaspoon each) around each wooden skewer, 1 inch from end. Remove meatballs from grill and stick a mozzarella skewer into top of each meatball. Place back on grill over indirect heat, close grill lid and cook for an additional 2 min-utes, or until cheese melts. Pour 2 cups barbecue sauce into bowl. Once cheese melts, remove each skewer from grill and imme-diately dip meatball into barbecue sauce, up to bottom of melted cheese. Serve warm.
