Often mistakenly described as caramelizing—which is what happens when heat causes the natural sugars of carbohydrates to break down, resulting in vegetables that are golden brown and delicious—the Maillard reaction (named for a French chemist who led an adventuresome life in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries) describes what happens when a protein transforms under heat.

When the fire was at the perfect temperature, you put a grate over the pit and started to cook. If you wanted less heat, you let the fire burn down, raked the fire, or raised the grate. The lower temperatures achieved by cooking at a distance allows the crust to develop slowly and the heat to penetrate the interior of the meat more gradually and uniformly. These are good things.
