so folks!!!!

for bbqers!!!!

what skewers do ya guys out there use?

wooden or metal?

wooden.... can eat the meat directly off the stick. Easier to add flavours and allows for more ingrediants.

Which should I use, metal or wooden skewers?

Metal skewers are good for cooking cubed beef or lamb kebabs because they conduct heat well. They also hold more weight than wooden skewers. Buy stainless steel skewers that are square or flat-bladed, rather than round. This will help stop the meat from spinning on the skewer when turned, ensuring even cooking. Metal skewers become really hot, so use tongs to turn them.

Wooden skewers hold strips of meat better than metal skewers, which are more suited to cubes of meat. Wooden skewers are inexpensive and easy to find, shorter skewers are the better choice. Often the longer ones are too long for the amount of meat and vegetables used, and the ends can burn as they are left exposed over the high heat.
