Did you know that May is National Barbecue Month?\u00a0 What better way to celebrate it than by cooking dinner out on the back patio or deck?\u00a0 Thanks to\u00a0the generally pleasant\u00a0weather experienced by much of\u00a0the country in May,\u00a0you can celebrate National Barbecue Month just about every night.<\/p>\n

What type of Outdoor Grill<\/a> do you prefer to use?\u00a0 Gas Grills and Charcoal Grills are perhaps the most popular grills\u00a0found in backyards across the country, but Electric Grills, Brick Ovens, and even Portable Grills make cooking out with family and friends a delicious affair, too.\u00a0\u00a0 If you don’t already own a grill, or if\u00a0you’re in the market for a new one, make sure to consider the following questions when you go to buy:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. How much space do you have for storing and using a grill?<\/strong>\u00a0 Know where you want to put a grill and measure that space so you know what size limitations you’re working with.<\/li>\n
  2. How do you want to power your grill?\u00a0<\/strong> For example, some people prefer to use charcoal grills because of the flavor it adds to the food, while\u00a0others like\u00a0to have optimum\u00a0control over\u00a0the temperature of the flame and choose gas.<\/li>\n
  3. How much cooking surface will you need?<\/strong>\u00a0 Larger families require a larger cooking surface so that everyone’s food\u00a0can fit on the grill at the same time.\u00a0 Small families, on the other hand,\u00a0may not require as much cooking surface.<\/li>\n
  4. What kind of features are most important to you?\u00a0<\/strong> A grill that is easy to clean?\u00a0 Easy to move around? One with a warming rack above the main grill surface? Or with additional work space and grilling tool hooks?\u00a0 Knowing what features you require will help you\u00a0narrow the field of choices.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    With a grill at the ready, you can celebrate National Barbecue Month this month as well as\u00a0all summer long.\u00a0 While you’re at it, you can easily celebrate National Hamburger Month, too, which is also in May.\u00a0 Here’s a delicious hamburger recipe to get you motivated:<\/p>\n
