You needn't be limited to the usual fare of hot dogs and hamburgers. Instead, include smoke-touched vegetables and salads, delectably moist chicken, exquisite seafood, and more. To create an outdoor feast for the senses, here are the steps to ensure grilling success every time. Choosing a Grill Choose the type of grill that best fits your lifestyle. A charcoal grill will impart a great smoky flavor to food, but it is slow to start and messier to deal with because of the briquettes.
Charcoal grills are usually less expensive than other types.
A gas grill is easier to start, but delivers less flavor. However, you can achieve an authentic smoky flavor with good recipes and specialty wood chips. I prefer a gas grill to a charcoal grill. Set your cooking temperatures carefully. Charcoal grills will generally be ready after 25-30 minutes.
