When we purchased our grill two years ago, we knew we wanted a charcoal grill or a smoker (the food tastes so much better to us). We decided on the Char-Griller brand and absolutely love it!
Simon got some great grilling gear for Christmas, and they are definitely being used on a weekly basis.
Digital wireless thermometer
Heavy-duty tool set with holder
Charcoal starter
{Non-Christmas items}
A pan for water (seen behind the charcoal starter above)
Wood chips wrapped in foil for a smoked flavor
He has also been trying new techniques for the meat to be even better. This includes placing a pan of water in the grill which adds moisture to the meats, and using a dry rub which gives the outside of the meat a nice crunch. Of course he could explain the technical aspects of this better than I could, but all that matters is that the food tastes GREAT! :-D
Here are some shots from our Memorial Day cookout:

| Grilled Salmon Nicoise Salad |

| Whiskey sour with pineapple mango lemonade ice cubes! |
So what are some of your go-to grilling items and techniques?
that looks amazing! I wish that I had a grill like that!
ReplyDeleteThose ice cubes sound amazing! Is there a secret recipe somewhere?
ReplyDeleteWe too love grilling!! Well Hasani grills and I come up with ideas lol. His favorite grilling item is the pizza stone. Over the weekend we made carnitas nachos so good! I'll post the recipe soon they are a MUST to try this Summer
ReplyDeleteThanks, Shelley! It's rather simple. We cut up pineapples into cubes, popped them into an ice cube tray, then poured mango lemonade into the tray :)
ReplyDeleteKatrina, that sounds SOOO good! We will have to try the pizza out on the grill. The nachos sound delish as well...I'm getting hungry thinking about all of this, lol!
