Grill Maestro

When it comes to a George Foreman grill, I’m torn. Part of me loves the fact that it’s easy to use, takes up almost no space, and is “healthy” in that the oil drips away from the burger. Then, a part of me says “Grill maestro - you have a grill, George Foreman has retired [...]

When I bought my grill from Home Depot, it didn’t come with its own protective covering. Considering it was a $250+ purchase, the least the manufacturer could’ve done was thrown in an el cheapo $15 cover that could protect my baby from the sun, rain, sleet, and snow of Maryland - but alas, it was [...]

If you’re like me, your ability to tell how much propane you have left in your tank by weight is a little spotty. If you’re also like me in this regard, you have a little yellow dot somewhere on the side that when exposed to warm water, will turn green (or some other color) when [...]

Did you get a second hand grill like Peggy did and find out you’re also the proud new owner of some pet rocks? Are you now rightfully concerned that all the other propane grills you’ve owned didn’t or don’t have their own pet rocks? Not to worry, those are called lava rocks and they’re there [...]

If you recently purchased a new grill, a very important tip that isn’t stressed enough (or publicly enough) is that you need to “season” it. Seasoning refers to coating your grill grates with some sort of vegetable oil in order to protect them int he cooking process.

I bought one for $269.99 last weekend after making at trip to Home Depot because it seemed like a great deal. Unfortunately we didn’t have a large enough car to transport the fully assembled version so I resigned to taking a box and assembling at home. We have yet to fire up the grill and [...]

Since graduating college, I’ve lived in two apartments before I moved into the home I’m in now. One of the downsides of an apartment, especially when you’re not on the first floor, is that many of them forbid you from grilling with any sort of open flame for safety reasons. Granted, I can understand this [...]

One of the simplest things you can do to prevent rust from attacking your charcoal grill is to remove the ashes and wash down the grill. When you leave the ashes and they get wet, such as rain, it creates lye which is caustic and will eat away at your iron grill and create rust. [...]

The first step of your barbecuing career, before you do anything else, is to buy your first charcoal grill. Like a good beer or a fine woman, the perfect charcoal grill is all up to your own personal preferences and needs. Some like their beer (and their girls) a little hoppy, some like them bitter, [...]
