Use Fresh and not frozen meat as this ensures that your meat remains juicy
Always marinate your meat at least 8 hours before your braai or overnight
Seal the marinated meat by vacuum, air tight container or plastic seal bags as this helps to tenderize the meat
Pack and stack meat tightly and flat as to allow for the least amount of air between cuts/chops
Place marinated meat in a fridge not freezer
Don't braai over very hot coals and ensure that your grill is at least 10 cm away from the coals
Periodically turn your meat so that your meat gets done evenly without it getting burnt
Ensure that you have water to spray on any fire that may start from dripping fat
Spray water lightly without killing the coals
Try yo use little or no tomato sauce in your marinade as the sugar content in the sauce tends to caramelize and will add some burnt spots on your meat
Chicken should be grilled last when the coals has lost most of its redness and should be basted as it dries.
