Foil boat is a BBQ finishing step or wrapping concept. Understanding this term helps you recognize what a BBQ guide, manufacturer or pitmaster is referring to.

Why foil boat matters

Wrapping can affect moisture loss, surface texture and the way heat reaches food. The outcome also depends on what the wrap is made of and when it is applied.

Practical consideration

Keep materials away from open flame unless designed for that use and verify doneness with a thermometer.
