grilling

According to the Minnesota Department of Public Safety, July is the peak month for home fires in the United States and grilling plays a role in that, with gas grills playing a larger role than charcoal.

I had a friend suggest that I try grilling a ham.  I had never even thought of it, but it's a nice change of pace for your late summer grilling.   In our house we grill several times a week, so by the time we get to August we are ready to change it up from burgers and brats.  The grilled ham was easy and didn't take all day.

It’s smack dab in the middle of grilling season and you have probably exhausted all your family favorites, steak, shrimp, chicken breasts and pork. I have seen lots of different recipes for tin foil dinners on the grill and have always wanted to try one while we were camping. This is the recipe we chose this past weekend. It was easy and I used pre-cooked grilled chicken for ease and food safety.

This is a pretty simple recipe but it tastes great and it grabs the attention of your guests.  Here's how you start.

I've seen some YouTube videos on how to set up your Weber grill as a smoker.  There's a few different techniques, but it all is very similar.  But there was questions that these videos didn't answer.  Like how long?  What temperature?  How fast does it heat up?  What are some of the challenges, etc.  I learned a lot my first time, and it actually turned out fantastic.

I grew up with a Weber grill.   It's the classic charcoal grill that has been around for decades.  People love them, and I had a hand me down Weber grill that finally broke down a few years back.  As a wedding gift, we got a gas grill.  It did it's job for about 2 years, before it crapped out as well.  It was time to go back the classic, so I started shopping around.  I found myself zeroing in on

For years I've piled charcoal briquettes into my weber grill and then doused it with lighter fluid, lit it, sear my eyebrows off, and then wait for the coals to get hot.  That's the method that was passed down from generation to generation to me.   My eyes were opened recently to the wonderful advantages of using a charcoal chimney.  It's now the only way to go when grilling with charcoal.

Our friends, Dave and Kathy had us over for a BBQ and we did shish kebabs.  The shrimp was my favorite so I asked for the recipe which she found online on the Food Network website.  You have to try this, it was easy and looks gourmet!  Make it for Mother's Day (if no one is allergic to shell fish, be sure to ask...

Recently we were invited to our friends, Dave and Kathy for a BBQ.  When I asked what I should bring, they said dessert because they had the rest of the meal covered.  We grilled shish kebabs and they were delicious!  There are several reasons you should serve shish kebabs if you're having guests over for a BBQ.

There is no meat more meant for grilling than the steak.  However, a good steak can be expensive.  If you want to get a thick rib eye it can cost $20 per steak at the grocery store.   Porterhouses are a great cut to grill and the t-bone is a classic, but those cost a pretty penny as well.   That's why I swear by the chuck eye cut.  It's half the price and tastes just as good as a rib eye.  Here's
