Nothing tastes better than food cooked on a big charcoal
grill! If you were born in the good old US of A, or lived here for
some time, then you've probably had a cookout or barbeque of
some kind. We tend to pride ourselves on these things. American
family tradition and good home cooking resonate on our gleeful
mugs at the sound of a grilled burger, hotdog or steak. Although gas grills are becoming more and more prominent, the
old-school charbroil charcoal grills are still preferred by many of us.
There's just something about that grilled flavor that's hard to
let go of. Those red coals fill the mouth-watering meat with an
incomparable flavor that can't be forgotten.
The options we face when buying a grill are quite different than
what our parents dealt with. Charcoal gas, electric, infrared,
grill smoker, and
hibachi portable just to name the basics. Personally I have used a
charcoal grill since I was a child. These smoky, simplified
wonders are hard to let go of. While some friends tell me gas is
all the rage these days, I still can't abandon the taste. Anyone who has grilled on gas
vs charcoal can tell you that there's a
difference. When it comes to charcoal, the flavor is phenomenal.
Charcoal grills are still widely available at stores such as
Sears or Lowes, or a number of websites.
However, the variety is much nicer than it used to be. Probably
the most well known grill is Weber or a Brinkman which are both
available at Lowes. A certain
advantage to using a charcoal grill is the price. A simple
freestanding portable grill can be found for 50 bucks, while many gas
grills range anywhere from $200 to thousands of dollars.
I make use of a simple charcoal grill a
number of times throughout the summer. What better time to cook
out with family and friends. Anything from hotdogs to hamburgers
to brats to shishcabobs can be flamed on one of these classic
cookers. The heat and smoke from the charcoal add an amazing
flavor to any meat of choice. There are even hickory chips that
can be added for an additional enhancement.
Our top provider of charcoal grills is Dick's Sporting Goods.
They are absolutely the experts on grills. Among their favorites
is the good old fashioned Weber Grill.
The
Weber One-Touch Gold Charcoal Kettle Grill-22.5"
always stands out as a timeless classic.The Weber Kettle grill from Dick's features a stainless
steel one-touch cleaning system and a new removable
high-capacity ash catcher!When shopping around for a charcoal grill that's right for you
or you and your family, make sure to take into consideration the
size and number of people being fed. There are a variety of
grills to suit the needs of an enormous family get-together or
simply a single man or woman just looking for a change in the
mundane daily meals. Whether you decide to use a stainless steel
charcoal grill, cast iron, barbecue smoker, or broiler, the best
charcoal grill is the one that you will use and enjoy!
