Barbecue Grills Are Hot!

It's true. Barbecue grills are hotter than ever. According to US News and World Report, sales of gas and charcoal barbecue grills during a recent two year period surged nearly 30%.

And we aren't just summer grillers anymore. No sir-ee! Year round use of barbecue grills is on the rise too.

Plus we've moved beyond simple grilling steak techniques. Anymore we're outdoors grilling pork loin roast…grilling baby back ribs…even grilling lobster tails. What's more others are on the look out for shrimp grilling recipes.

Of course the majority of grills sold anymore are covered. That means they're designed to be used with the lid or hood shut. Yet many of us are making a dumb mistake that all but negates the benefit of having a covered grill. While flare ups are a problem for others.

Gas grills are now more popular than charcoal fired ones. For several reasons. First they offer quicker prep times. Flip a switch and you've got heat. You also get better temperature control and gas grills are simply easier to clean.

Still propane-bbq-safety or any gas gill safety should always be a concern. Since safe operation can insure only the meat is at risk of being burned.

But charcoal barbecue grills have their fans too. As well as their own set of safety rules. Not to mention when cooking with charcoal you have to be patient. As these charcoal grilling tips reveal.

Either way a little pregrilling prep can go a long way to insure a safe grilling experience.

Barbecue Grills - Fire Drill

Should the worst happen, some sort of fire. Don't panic. Here's what to do in case of fire.

Portable or Fixed

Portable barbecue grills don't necessarily take a back seat either. They let you grill just about anywhere. Anytime. Although you'll find some are more portable than others.

Barbeque Grilling Utensils

As any red blooded cookout lover will tell you, grilling is a serious business. You can't get the most out of your barbecue grills without the right tools. For instance if you're not up to grabbing the steaks off the grill barehanded - tongs or other barbeque grilling utensils might be in order.

Direct vs Indirect Cooking

Many better gas bbq grills have three burners. When you're truly grilling, that is applying flame directly to sear the meat, use all three.

However if you're cooking indirectly, you want the center burner off. Or better yet get a true smoker.

Barbecue grills make backyard livin' fun and easy. So much so barbecuing is as American as apple pie. With dad manning the grill - grilling ribeye steaks. The kids feasting on grilled "dogs and burgers". And mom doling out the beans and potato salad. Just follow the ideas presented and you'll not only get the most out of your charcoal or gas grill, you'll do so safely.
