In this post we are going to get straight to the facts! Giving you guys some knowledge and tips on meats that maybe you didn't know!
refrigerator time
*The following facts are based on the average fridge being about 40 degree Fahrenheit
-Raw ground meats: all poultry, seafood, and variety meats
-1-2 days (3 if lower than 40 Degree but not recommended)
- Raw roast, steaks, and chops (beef, lamb, pork)
-3-5 days
In other words, to be safe-ALWAYS SEASON MEAT THE NIGHT BEFORE! 24 hours is more than enough time for seasonings to soak into your meat. Oh, you don't know how to season? "just keep swimming"

Here are a couple of tips that didn't really fall into a category but we had to inform you of!
1. Keep raw meats and juice separate from cooked or those in the process of being cooked. Always keep multiple pans! Listen or die from food poisoning.
2. Always let meat get down to room temp before grilling! Let it sit for 20-30 minutes! You want your meat to cook once you toss it on the grill, not defrost first.
3. Pork absorbs seasoning EASILY. So take it easy on the salt.
4. ALWAYS CLEAN YOUR MEAT!!!! Cut off fat, properly clean a leg quarter. Please. Rinse your meat. #NoPunIntended
5. Keep beer on hand. This doesn't really need an explanation.
6. BE THE MAN! You're the man. Your grill. You rule. Period. Tell the family get ready for greatness!!!!!!!
