Just about everyone can remember spending the carefree summer months by attending a BBQ or two. It was a time to forget about that pile of bills on the kitchen counter or the pressing deadlines at the office and just relax in the company of friends and family. Along with that memory is one of the cook running back and forth between the grilling area and the kitchen. These trips were the result of needing supplies to complete a BBQ dinner. This left little time for conversation and extended times of exercise for the cook. Outdoor Kitchens are readily changing this long standing staple of backyard get-togethers. Now everything can be housed in one place replacing exercise time for the cook with...

Chicken Chicken is a meat that will absorb flavor and smoke easily. Unfortunately it is also easy to overcook and dry out. The dark meat (legs, thighs) contain more fat which bastes the meat while cooking, adding moisture. Always buy fresh chicken, the USDA states "The term 'fresh' may only be placed on raw poultry that has never been below 26°. Poultry held at 0°F or below must be labeled 'frozen' or 'previously frozen.' No specific labeling is required on poultry between 0 and 26°F." Chickens benefit greatly from brining overnight in a salt solution; this causes the bird to draw in moisture as well as any spices you added to the brine. As long as you have the two main ingredients...

Backyard barbecues are a hallmark of summer. Any get-together involves food cooked out on the grill, accompanied by cold drinks, sunglasses, lawn games and laughter. Memorial Day, the Fourth of July and Labor Day--all are celebrated in this fashion. For many, summer does not truly begin until they attend their first backyard cookout. The tradition of the backyard cookout became popular in the 1950's, when companies such as Weber began making grills that were convenient and practical for home use. Prior to the grill, outdoor meals had to be cooked over an open fire or in a large pit, so cookouts were large affairs or an activity for camping. Grills allowed for small-scale cooking with consistent...

There are not many things as relaxing as having friends or family to an evening grill or BBQ on a fine summer evening. The type of grill used does not much matter, as long as it provides heat from underneath the cooking plate. Heat is heat - and the main differences between types of grills relates to heat control and plate configuration. When the food is to be smoked for extra flavor, the chips that provide the smoke need to be placed easily and regularly onto the charcoal, beads or flames. Almost any vegetable can be cooked on the grill or BBQ. The challenge relates to the longer time that is required and getting all the food cooked and ready top serve at the same time. Vegetables can be par-boiled...

A gas barbecue is a quick and easy option when it comes to al fresco cooking. Its simple, push-button ignition provides an instant flame and you can start to cook in about 10 minutes, making it far more efficient than its charcoal counterpart. Above the burners are 'flavouriser' bars, ceramic briquettes or lava rocks that disperse the heat in the same way as charcoal - but they don't generate ash and so they don't need cleaning. And above these lie the cooking grates. Most models - even the most basic - come with burner controls, similar to a cooker, so that you can regulate the temperature. This helps you to cook food more evenly, with less chance of burning. Most lower-priced barbecues have only...

While the origins of the barbecue probably go back to the Stone Age, the beginnings of the barbecue sauce are likely to be closer to the times we live in. Food historians trace the use of barbecue sauce to America in the 1600s, from where it possibly spread to Europe over the next two centuries. The sauce varied, and still does vary from the watery to a very thick consistency. Today, it is usually applied to meat after cooking or during the process of grilling. Some sources claim that Christopher Columbus brought the sauce back from the Caribbean Islands. Whatever its origin, the sauce was most likely used to mask the gamy flavors in the meats that were foreign and unpleasant to the colonial...
