Outdoor grilling, once just a seasonal pastime, has become a year-round activity for those who love the taste of food cooked over an open fire. And whether you’re cooking for a large group or just throwing something on the grill for yourself, outdoor grills now come in an array of styles, sizes and fuel types to meet the demands of every outdoor chef.

If you’re considering a new grill, we’d like to help you choose the right one for your outdoor cooking needs. This short video will show you the features and benefits of some of the latest in portable electric, gas and charcoal grills.

Portable outdoor grills are perfect for small outdoor spaces at home or for grilling a few burgers and hot dogs at a tailgate or picnic. You’ll also see the wide selection of full-sized propane and natural gas outdoor grills. Many of them are equipped with side burners, rotisseries and other innovative grill accessories that make cooking and enjoying meals outdoors more enjoyable. You can even explore ideas for building your own customized outdoor kitchen.

Grill It: What Makes a Good Portable Grill?

Posted by: on July 7th, 2012 | Make A Comment

Q: What should I look for in a small, portable grill?

A: The best thing about grillers is that they will work their magic absolutely anywhere, undeterred by terrain or the elements. A boat, a fire escape, a rooftop, the beach. If you can get there, grilling can happen.

For portable grills, the golden combination is being lightweight and easy to tote while having the maximum amount of useable grate space. The Weber Smokey Joe is a no-nonsense favorite, with almost 150 square inches of grill space. For propane, the Cuisinart All Foods portable grill is a winner. If you are looking for something that you won’t have to hunch over, the Aussie Walk-a-Bout portable worked nicely at a recent BBQ: It folds up into an easy-to-roll suitcase and was big enough to feed a whole picnic party full of hungry people.

When choosing a portable grill, keep your location in mind. Most apartments don’t allow charcoal—along with some beaches and parks that don’t have facilities for hot coal disposal.

Fourth of July Grilling Spectacular

Posted by: on July 4th, 2012 | Make A Comment

 

Brick flag centerpiece and kebabs

 

There’s no better day to bask in the sun and show some patriotic pride than Independence Day. Throw a 4th of July bash in style at a local park—or right in your backyard. Here’s our three-step plan for throwing a grill party decked out in red, white and blue.

 

Brinkmann grills, ready for action

 

Get the right grill.

Getting the right grill for the job is priority one. A portable, lightweight number with the maximum grate size is what you should be hunting. The Aussie Walk-A-Bout Charcoal Grill is one winner for an outdoor throw-down.  We liked that it folds flat so that you can wheel it in and out with ease. Also, the wheels are sturdy enough to take on off-road terrain to the perfect spot. The festive red top added a splash of color that definitely fit the theme.

The lightweight but tough Brinkmann Barrel Charcoal Smoker is also a solid choice for a sizeable outdoor party.  The temperature gauge and adjustable damper allowed us to get the heat just right for juicy beef kebabs. (Steal this marinade recipe: Apple butter, rosemary, olive oil, salt and pepper.)

If you are having your picnic at the park, check out the grilling policy ahead of time: Some locations do not allow charcoal, so you may need to opt for an electric grill. (Also, check out where charcoal disposal is located before you get going.)  Check out the Brinkmann Portable Propane Gas Grill for an easy set up. The porcelain-coated grate make for an easy exit as well, since food won’t stick to the grates.
