Search for a Meat-B-Q

An integral part of meat nights has become the BBQ. Initially little though was put in to the cooking process, however over the seasons meat preparation and cooking has become an integral component. Though the addition of meat delivery instruments such as The Cobb and the Big Green Egg have dramatically added to the meat night experience, the staple cooking apparatus remains the BBQ.

The purchase of a BBQ should not be taken lightly. It may seem easy to grab the $99 special at Walmart, but investing in a great BBQ will pay off in the long run and help you through countless meat nights. It is easy to get sidetracked by trinkets such as side burners and crazy gimmicks like lights, but just remember the core of a BBQ is its burners and grill. Look at features such as temperature range and BTU of any perspective BBQ. A large temperature range will allow you to cook in a variety of fashions, from slow roasting to searing. Take in to consideration that you will be pilling a couple pounds of meat on these grills, an amount that may crush lesser BBQs. A solidly constructed BBQ will provide years of backyard joy.

It helps to take personal pride in you BBQ, such as the affectionately named “Meatzilla”, which has served mountains of meat in its day.

Here are some examples of BBQ which have served meat nights well in the past and will continue to in to the future:

Napoleon Grills

Broil King

Vermont Castings

Weber

Happy Meat-B-Qing!
