BBQ Grillware: Making Your Barbecue Sizzle!

Posted by: admin  /  Category: barbecue grill, barbecue grills, barbecue tools, barbeque grill, bbq accessories, bbq grills, bbq tools, grillware

Man, I love BBQ!

There’s nothing better than getting the right smokey flavour into some BBQ Ribs, or getting that perfect steak, or - if you’re a bit adventurous, like me - a great big trout on the barbeque!

And you know what - finding the right parts for your barbecue makes a huge difference.

You see, getting the right BBQ Grillware doesn’t just make your grill more efficient - it can make it more effective, increase your cooking capacity, and improve the taste of your meat!

The difficult part about finding the right BBQ parts is making sure that you find the parts that fit.

There are so many different types of barbeque parts that it can often be difficult to find parts that fit. And finding the wrong part can be dangerous as an ill-fitting gas part could cause a gas leak if it is too loose - or will be impossible to fit if it’s too big!

So the measurement of the grillware parts that you get is very important.

Tip for the Pro’s - if you are modifying your BBQ, make sure you get a committment that you can return and ill-fitting parts to the supplier. This is because although some parts might have the right measurements, they still may not fit your outdoor barbeque.

In many cases, new components and add-ons aren’t always designed in a way that they will be compatible with other barbeques.

Remember: Your grill, while being a reasonably simple piece of technology is usually fairly intricate, and sometimes very expensive. And ill-fitting parts do not just put your health and safety at risk - they also put your expensive grill at risk too!

Hey guys. What do you think of a BBQ/grill for a Valentine's day gift for a guy? Which one?

Posted by: admin  /  Category: bbq tools

So my guy has enough cologne and tools lol…..He wants a bbq so I thought it would be a great Valentines day gift. We have been together 5 months and just moved in with each other last month. How would you feel if your girlfriend gave you a bbq (btw he is 30). I am looking thus far at a gas bbq in 3 brands Brinkman, Kenmore or Webber. Here are the links to each of them: http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_07116115000P?vName=&cName=&sName=

I am pretty lost on which one to get. I would like to get him a nice one but I am a single mom of 2 on a limited budget….so even a suggestion to a different grill would be ok :) Thanks for your help!

I think it is a great idea. He is sure to be happy… You can get some really nice grills with side burners and several burners for a pretty good price at places like Sears, Kmart, Walmart, etc. I think I got mine at Sears and have had it for 3 years, I keep it in the garage when not in use and it still looks and works like new. By the way, We love to BBQ… and I hope you all have a great Valentine's day.

Suggestions for Insect reppellent tools, candles.. etc..?

Posted by: admin  /  Category: bbq tools

Hello,
I just moved to a subdivision to where my backyard has a very small natural wetland, that I know will attract more insects than the usual to my outdoor deck. I am planning a BBQ for my husbands birthday and will be spending the day and late evening outdoors.. .I want to place candles and anything I could to prevent my company from being eaten alive.. please give me some reccomendations on what brands and what I could do to make this party eventful without the insects distracting us lol.
Thank you all!

I have found that maxi deet works the best as is 100% deets, you could also use citronella candles.

If mosquitoes are the problem treat the wetland area with some mosquito dunks.

Campfire Dining - Gourmet Style

Posted by: admin  /  Category: bbq tools

With the final long weekend of the summer approaching, Labor Day weekend may signal the last summer cookout, beach BBQ or campfire grill until next May. So, if you’re planning to make this long weekend the most memorable camping trip of the season, why not put a little extra panache into your outdoor dining? After all, just because you’re roughing it doesn’t mean your menu needs to be limited to canned beans and weenies on a stick.

I spend every Labor Day weekend at my trailer in Ipperwash Beach, Ontario. I’ve been venturing to Sunnyside Trailer Park for the past 30-years, which means many of my fellow campers are like family. That’s why we host the annual Sunnyside Labor Day pot luck. It gives us the opportunity to kiss the summer farewell with good food, and good company.

Personally when I’m preparing for our annual camping pot luck, I’m looking for what I like to call “unique convenience” - which means an easy dish, but one that will still knock the socks off of my fellow campers. Many of my campsite neighbors enjoy cooking as well, so the annual Sunnyside Labor Day pot luck has given into a little bit of healthy competition - who can out cook who with limited tools.

If you’re familiar with small hard-top trailers, tents and campers, then you know we are all limited to the odd gas stove, BBQs, hibachi grills, and glorious open flame cooking. Typically, what I do to prepare for my annual pot luck dish is watch the Food Network and consult my health gourmet cook books, and adapt one of the recipes into a campfire-friendly dish.

This year I’ve decided to make a grilled vegetable, shrimp and artichoke pasta salad that I spotted in one of my favorite healthy food gourmet cookbooks. It will just take a few minor adjustments, because I will be marinating and then barbequing the shrimp on skewers, boiling the whole wheat penne burner-side on my gas BBQ grill, and grilling the mélange of red and green peppers, sweet red onions, and canned artichokes on a pie plate over open flame.

My adjusted recipe turned out to be easy for campfire cooking, plus it will have my fellow pot-luckers thanking their ‘lucky plates’!

Campfire Grilled Artichoke Pasta Salad

Ingredients
• 1 can of artichokes
• ½ cup sweet red onion - chopped
• ½ cup sweet red pepper - chopped
• ½ cup green pepper - chopped
• 1 package of whole wheat penne pasta - boiled
• 1 cup of chopped basil
• 1 ½ cups of balsamic dressing
• Spices of your choice for shrimp marinade ( I use a mix of cumin and chili).
• Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation
1.Roll fresh shrimp in spice mixture and set aside in a bowl
2.Pierce shrimps single-row on skewers
3.Fire up the grill, when hot place shrimps on and grill each side for 2 minutes - set aside
4.Place all of your chopped veggies in pie plate and place over open fire coals
5.Grill until desired. They should be crisp but warm.
6.Bring water to a boil on BBQ side burner and add penne
7.Combine pasta, grilled veggies, and chopped basil.
8.Toss with balsamic dressing.
9.Remove shrimps from skewers and toss with salad.
10.Place covered in the refrigerator until ready to serve

So it just goes to show that a little extra planning; can mean a night of dinning enjoyment. Just pop the cork from your favorite bottle of red, and voila - gourmet campfire cuisine awaits!
