Self-drilling screws, also known as “Tek” screws, feature a unique design that incorporates a drill bit-like tip, allowing them to create their own hole as they are driven into materials. This feature eliminates the need for pre-drilling, saving time and effort during installation.

  • The thermometer that’s built into the lid of your charcoal grill will give you a good basic idea of the temperature inside. Backyard cookout staples like burgers and chicken typically cook best on a charcoal grill from around 375º to 450º. Seared steaks need a higher heat, from 500º to 650º. At these heat levels, food takes only a few minutes to cook and you should be watching the grill like a burger-loving hawk.
