Talk:Barbecue grill

message: Grilling and smoking existed way before Kingsford. That looks like an ad product placement and should be more looked into.

thread_title:  Article history is inaccurate 

message: If this is an article on grills then where is the mention of the appliance used to do this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grilling#British_English
What do Americans call the part of the cooker they "broil" things in anyway? A broiler?

thread_title:  Is this a joke? 

message: The image of the propane grill buried under snow doesnt really capture the "essence" or purpose of the appliance very well. The focus should be the grill itself, not the extreme weather conditions around it. Just about anything else would be better.
I agree. Do you think this CC image I found on flickr suits? http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=9813564&size=o
Please let me know if that violates the copyright rules, I don't think it does, but thats why I didn't alter it myself.
Thanks,

thread_title:  Image of Gas Grill 

message: Added a piece on portable grills and a comment on the difference between lump and briquets but forgot to sign in before doing so. 
I will take some pictures of my own grills (gas, charcoal kettle, portable gas, and portable charcoal) to add to this article. 
I am thinking about tackling something about the history of grilling as well as how it plays into the tailgate party culture. Also may include a description of the (in)famous "newspaper grill."
Also, would this article merit a small discussion on charcoal-starting methods?

message: The second para in the lead is mainly about grilling in American culture and should be moved out of the intro. Anybody disagree? Rothery 03:35, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

message: The infrared section doesn't cite any sources and may be original research.  It also looks a bit biased due to stating without citation that it is being used in "finer" restaurants.  The parts dealing with it being more "green" especially read like ad copy.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 139.131.241.10 (talk) 17:41, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

message: I did a search on Broiler and it took me to an article about chickens that said at the top This article is about a type of chicken. For the kitchen appliance, see Grill (cooking). So I clicked that link and it lead to this article. Then I searched the page for the word "Broil" and got no results. What gives? BillyTFried (talk) 07:15, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

message: Isn't a gas grill actually called an outdoor grill and not a barbecue grill? I thought only charcoal fired or wood fired grills were actually barbecue grills.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.58.211.149 (talk) 16:17, 26 January 2013 (UTC)

message: I propose that Barbecue grill cover be merged into Barbecue grill. A separate article is unnecessary. A section within the destination article would best serve visitors. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 08:15, 5 August 2013 (UTC)

message: Why is there a sudden, uncited blurb about competitive grilling in the article header?  It doesn't seem relevant to summarizing barbecue grills by itself.  I suggest either putting in additional information about other kinds of grills to create a quick overview, or moving the bit about competition grills out of the header to a more relevant section. 134.223.230.200 (talk) 16:12, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

message: , I have reverted your changes because there are too many non-reliable sources being used as citations. Most of these .com sites are trying to sell their products. Try using high quality books, journals, magazines, newspapers, etc. I hope this isn't your normal standards for choosing sources...if so, then you need to start backtracking to remove them. Do not link to product pages please. We have enough commercial interests trying to manipulate Wikipedia. — Berean Hunter (talk) 23:39, 16 December 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I take your point about commercial sources although citing Weber's site to show a Weber grill exists seems pretty benign to me. I was certainly not trying to "manipulate" Wikipedia - my additions were done in good faith. I disagree that some of the information you removed did not have reliable sources ... but there you go. In reverting the whole article to your last edit you restored all the issues I found when copy editing the article. I have had to re-edit the article to fix these and trust this will meet with your approval.Twofingered Typist (talk) 14:52, 17 December 2015 (UTC)
