There is no better summer activity than firing up the grill, tossing on a few well cut meats and enjoying hearty laughter with a few dear friends. Honestly, what would summer be without the smell of brats, steaks and burgers permeating the air? If we could somehow eradicate mosquitoes, it would be perfection.
If you’re anything like me, you may tend to just toss your meat on the grill without any real knowledge of how to best marinate, cook and serve it. But there are a few great tricks that you can use to ensure that you come out with a spectacularly grilled piece of meat every time you barbecue.
The best resource of all and the first place to start is – BeefItsWhatsForDinner.com. This website is filled to the brim with the latest tools and tips for cooking with beef. You can find demonstration videos, recipes, tips on shopping for beef including types of cuts and understanding the label, summer grilling tips, healthy grilling tips and MUCH MORE. Good grief, I’m getting hungry just thinking about it!
You also need great tools. You need thermometers and timers – tools that let you know when your meat is done cooking.
And don’t forget the serving platters because the presentation is everything, is it not? A beautiful piece of meat served on a lovely tray and surrounded by mouthwatering sauces tastes just a little better, don’t you think?
Once you visit BeefItsWhatsForDinner.com, you are going to be ready to run outside, turn on your grill, and get cooking. So, National Cattleman’s Association, the folks behind Beef. It’s What’s For Dinner, is here to offer you the perfect backyard grilling package worth over $250.00!

Yes, there is nothing that says summer like a sizzling steak hot off the grill. Is your mouth watering yet?
What about now?

I love steak! My best memories of grilling were when I was a kid and my dad would “make” dinner. Really all he did was grill the meat and my mom would do all the rest of the work, but she always made it seem like it was dad’s meal and praised him to high heaven!
This is amazing! My best grilling moment was when I made shrimp & veggie kabobs with my husband for a BYO cookout — neither of us had ever made kabobs before and they turned out AMAZING!

My favorite grilling memory actually just happened a month or so ago. My dad started the charcoal chimney starter and then went inside to do something. Shortly after my mom and I noticed that it wasn’t smoking anymore and we realized the flame had died out. It took us about 10 minutes to get the flame going again. We had a good laugh and enjoyed the moment.
Cooking dessert. Pineapple rings braised with brown sugar and OJ served with ice cream. Hot sweet cold fun!
Cheeseburgers in Paradise! One of the biggest things we look forward to in the summer is going to my parents backyard oasis complete with a cantina, pool, beach, music and the guarantee of big cheeseburgers on the grill in the afternoon. Nothing beats a big juicy cheeseburger after a morning of swimming and playing in the sun.
I love having my Hubby grill! Not only does it save me from having to cook, but grilled food is so yummy! I’m not sure about a favorite grilling moment, since I’m too scared to go anywhere near a grill for fear of blowing up something, but I made kabobs for a birthday party a few weeks ago for Hubby to grill and they were soooo yummy!

I love to grill out all year round. That sound okay to some of you but we live here in Ohio and yes I have gone out, brushed the snow off the grill and turned it on. I refuse to cook steaks and hamburgers in the house, it’s just not right to cook those 2 things inside. This prize pack would be wonderful for ME:)

I love doing a lot of grilling in the summer. These beef pictures made me hungry.
My best grilling decision was when, after one time using our new expensive gas grill, I pulled the old charcoal grill out of the garage to use from then on. So much better…

My favorite grilling moment was when my husband and I were still dating and I invited him over for a barbecue that I had for him. Now he does all the grilling.
Mmmmm grilling! My favorite!
I married the meat and potato’s guy and then gave birth to his caveman child and some chicks too.
They love anything cooked on the grill.
There’s nothing like homemade hamburgers fresh off the grill.
We can’t grill through the snowy season here in Indiana but when it’s warm….we cook outside as much as possible.
A fond memory?
Teaching my oldest to grill. He wanted a hamburger so badly…..and wanted to do it himself. We pattied up the meat and to the fire we went. HE loved it! I think that will be the first gift I give him when he moves into his own place. A grill! (he’s heading to college in the fall)
We had an old grill that was tricky to get lit….my husband wrestled with it till he broke a sweat, closing the lid and taking a break before he lost his cool. About 10 minutes later he came back to the grill and tried to light it a few more times, forgetting that the grill lid was down, and it had been filling with gas the entire time….
when it finally lit, a loud explosion blew the grill lid about 20 feet in the air before it landed in the back yard!
We got a new grill!

My best grilling memory was actually a couple of weeks ago. My husband likes everything WELL done and I prefer medium – medium well. Needless to say my steaks are not his concern and usually turn out well done, too. But a couple of weeks ago, he figured it out! It was fantastic! (He’s repeated it since then, so I know it’s not a fluke – ha!)
I subscribe, too.
My best memory is my husband having a hard time getting the coals lit in the smoker. He thought they were still cold, opened the door just as a gust of wind blew the fire and heat right at him. Bye bye eyebrows and arm hair. He was completely uninjured, just embarrassed. We were hosting my son’s birthday party a few hours later!

My dad let someone use our gas grill. They left the gas on and my dad stuck his head down near the thing when it finally lit. Kaboom! We thought he was dead. He came up smiling with a ‘sunburned’ face, singed eyelashes, eyebrows and mustache! It wasn’t funny then, but it sure is funny now.

My first grill was one of those 18″x24″ tabletop ones… and the first time I went to go use it, a carload of us went to a state park, bringing along charcoal, hotdogs, buns, condiments, etc… everything except a lighter or matches.
We did get it lit, using the car cigarette lighter, some dried grasses and some tiny twigs. It was very “Survivor” of us, I thought.
Our first grill was just a regular gas grill. We aren’t very fancy.
Thanks for a great giveaway

when my hubby proposed we went out to a park to grill and watch the sunset, and he was going to give me the ring after dinner. but he forgot the matches, and we ended up eating salad and buns instead!
MMMMM – I love grilling in the summer. I don’t have a specific memory, but rather a bunch of great memories of many family gatherings all based on a grill-out. Thanks!
Watching my husband out there grilling steaks from cows that we raised. He watches them so close. He gets them done to perfection almost everytime. There was the time that he got busy talking with someone and flames were coming out of the grill.

I have stroron memories of gathering friends, doing a potluck/BYOM BBQ. I learned alot about what diffrent folks did, and ate…and it was one of the easiest “parties” we ever hosted. We love to get together with friends, and it’s a fun, casual evening.
Since I don’t grill, my best memory is when my husband grills. We don’t eat steak for often, so anytime he does steak on the grill is a treat, especially when he puts my steak on early so he can get it well done while his is rare.

One of my best memories was having friends over for dinner and running out of propane when the meat was only half-cooked. We had to quickly heat up the oven so that we could finish it.
Hmmm…my favorite is when we grill something new or unusual, like pineapple, which is so good. Or, last week, we made an appetizer dip on the grill, which was cool!

We got our new grill this year and it is a combo gas and charcoal grill and we love it! Nice to have the best of both worlds.
My favorite grilling moment was about 2 years ago. Hubby was grilling burgers and our son (at that time 4 1/2 years old) a huge Spongebob fan asked if he could help make some “Krabby Patties”. Hubby didn’t want him to get hurt near the grill so he told him thanks for offering to help, but it was a job for an adult and he could help fix the “Krabby Patties” up after they cook and help serve them. Our son was happy with that and was so cute while helping.

Everytime I think of grilling out- it always makes me think of the BBQ pit my dad built in our backyard when I was about 8 or 9. He built it all out of bricks and was able to put a screen/rack in it and we piled up the charcoal underneath it. But he put so much blood, sweat and tears into that, just so we could have a nice BBQ ( money was tight and we couldnt afford a new grill when our old one broke).
I was lucky to have a really great dad!

My favorite grilling memories are of my dad grilling hot dogs and hamburgers out at the lake we used to go to every summer. And every so often, he’d let us roast marshmallows over the coals afterward.
My best grilling moments are from when we are camping with friends at Sturgis time (in August) and we are able to feed about 15 people Chicken Fajitas for dinner. We always premarinate the chicken in tequila/lime marinade and then freeze it. It is so yummy!

I can remember grilling out this past winter during a horrible ice storm that knocked out our power. Little did we know it would be off for another 6 days!! What a nightmare! (At least the hamburgers were good!)
Amazing giveaway! My fave grilling moment was the time we loaded everything in our truck and drove 2 hours to the mountains. As soon as my hubby started the charcoal grill, it started raining. He valiantly tried to keep grilling while the rest of us huddled under blankets, but we finally gave up and headed to the truck. Of course, as soon as we got there, the rain magically stopped. Good times.
My favorite grilling moment is when my in-laws, avid grillers, grilled even though it was pouring rain. They just kept the lid closed as much as possible and kept running in and out of the house. Those are some grilled beef crazed people!
Just saw that the post above was also about grilling in the rain…guess they have company! And…

My Sister made a marinate that You do two days before You are going to eat the meat. It has worchester sauce, vinegar, brown sugar and a whole lot more and the meat You use is a roast. We call this the cottage roast since We have it most at the cottage…YUM KayMI
My favorite grilling moment is the time my husband told me to go lay down for a nap and he would handle dinner. That was wonderful. He did it all barbecued the hot dogs,opened the bags of chips and heated up the can of pork and beans. It was a simple meal but one that I really loved him for-the first meal he made. Thank you!

A few years ago my husband discovered how to make the yummiest grilled hamburgers. You make the meat like you’re making your favorite meatloaf and then form them into patties. They are now a huge hit with everyone we know! I didn’t have the money to get much for hubby for Father’s Day. I’d love to win this for him! Thanks!

The funniest story about grilling is from when I was a kid. My family and I went on vacation with my parents best friends and their family (all the kids similar in age, so we had a blast). We stayed in cabins that had outdoor charcoal grills. We got everything ready to grill, and they (the adults) realized no one packed matches. So D (the other dad) figured he could use the lighter out of his van. He lit it then went running across the lawn with it to light the grill…all the while yelling “Ouch ouch ouch”. He was burning his leg hairs the whole way there. LOL. We still love telling that story.

We (hubbie and I)both came from the farm, so ‘where’s the beef’ is really where it is at for us.
My favorite memory is my dad grilling steaks in the summer. A farmer NEVER cooks, that’s woman’s work. However, he did do the grilling. He’d soak the coals overnight and light it up with a bang! when it lit. We didn’t have charcoal lighter fluid back then, so it was either gasoline or diesel fuel. Oh, the taste was a ‘melt in your mouth’ flavor that couldn’t be beat. We had homegrown cornfed beef, not the store stuff of today. And it does make difference.

This wasn’t my best grilling experience but it’s the reason my husband does all our grilling is I come close to blowing up the side of the house!! : ( Our ignitor button quick working so i had watched my husband light a piece of paper and stick it down to the burner after he turned the gas on and i’m not sure what step i done wrong but there was a loud boom and my daughter flew the door open and ask me if i was alright and thankfully i was except from the scorched hair on my arms smelt pretty bad and my nerves a little jolted LoL my husband loves cooking on the grill and even though we have a new grill with the working button on it he still will not let me light it, he cooks the best steak and i make the onion and garlic topping that is delish!!! (saute’ onion and garlic in olive oil when brown add 2 tbsp. soy sauce couple drops of hot sauce and 2 tbsp. 2 tbsp. Italian dressing and 1 tsp. sugar cook another couple on min then spread it on the steaks) my husband would love to win this!!! so would I : )

The best grilling moment was the cookout we had for family that helped us move into our new home. Everyone was tired and hungry. We fixed steaks, kabobs, grilled veggies, baked potatoes, grilled corn. If it was in the house, we threw it on the grill! Talk about a pig-out!

Best grilling moments have been on New Years Eve. My two brothers come up from Orlando with my nieces and nephews. We build a big bon fire pit, bring out the Weber grill cook some marinated boneless chicken breast, ribs, hamburgers,hotdogs. We light off fireworks,we all set around the fire pit making smores. Those are simply the best times of my life.

My favorite grilling time was this past weekend at the beach house my son rented. We cooked t-bones and they were fabulous.
My favorite memory would have to be just recently I bought some A1 marinade. I had never tried it before so I marinaded the steak and didn’t tell anyone and at dinner my son said “boy, this steak is really good.” Obviously I’ll buy more of the marinade.
My biggest grilling moments happen every time I start my grill up. It’s a hand me down, the ignite button doesn’t work anymore so we have to light it by hand. It’s comical to see…turn on the gas, back up and toss a match and wait to see what happens. Sometimes a fireball, sometimes a little pfft. (I am getting a new grill for hubby’s b-day)

My best grilling moment was when we had a birthday party for our son. My husband grilled chicken breasts and steaks for the guests. The weather was perfect and the grill coals were perfectly heated. The chicken and steaks came out perfect. It was just a perfect meal from the grill!

My mother in law was visiting and I was bbq steak and lobster tails. The glass on the bbq imploded.
My husband is king of our grill. He use to boil everything years ago then barbeque it. Until he got his Weber,and his barbeque Bible. Now he knows how to grill.
Best memory has to be the first time I successfully grilled salmon steaks. Grilling fish can be so hit-and-miss and to ruin a good sized hunk of salmon just hurts.
I was a horrible griller for years, but now I’m pretty good at it. My best meal was just recently at a family gathering. We slow cooked some pork steaks and they were sooooooooo delicious. It takes patience.
My best grilling moment is watching my fiance make dinner for us! He even mixes his own marinades for the meat we use. He’s really good at it.
The best grilling moment is when someone other than myself or my husband takes over the grill for a few moments. Usually it is the two of us doing a lot of the work (which is great because we can monitor the food) but it does have a tendency to be a bit hot especially during the Midwestern humid summers.
But we love steak and burgers and brats so each time we use the grill it is going to be a wonderful taste sensation.
My favorite thing to grill is Potato packets. Slice potatoes, onions, mushrooms,and zuchinni, (or your favorite veggies). Add baby carrots, salt and pepper and mix all together. Using sheets of aluminum foil, place mixture enough for individual servings. Add a Tblsp. or so of beer or water and a few cubes of butter. Seal packets and grill till tender. DELICIOUS!

The best grilling moment at my mom’s was when we finally convinced her to marinate the meat before she put in on the grill (this took 5+ years). At our house our best moment is when we have steaks and shrimp kabobs on the main grill and ribs and brisket in the smoker. This also means we’re in the middle of a party, which we need more of, now that it’s summer here!

My best grilling moment is actually when we first moved into our new house from Connecticut to Florida and had entered a sweepstakes at the local grocery store and WON a new grill!! Our house was a mess – boxes everywhere, the movers delivered stuff on our 7th wedding anniversary, so we couldn’t even celebrate properly, but I could make steaks on the grill, which we ate off paper plates with serving utensils (because I forgot to buy plastic) and champagne. It really was sweet and I’ll remember it always.

I remember my husband coming home very tired so I let him go upstairs and take a nap and decided to suprise him will perfectly grilled burgers.
Not being a regular “grill-er” I didn’t anticipate the smoke and extra flames that would rise when the fat dropped down in to the coals.
I freaked and panicked and ran upstairs waking him telling everything was on fire.
So much for that nap. And I was truly embarrased when all I really had to do was turn the flame down.

My favorite grilling moments were always when we would go to my in-laws houseboat on Lake Shasta. We would use the little Weber but somehow, the food always tasted better than they did in the city.
My sister closed the grill with the gas still on and went to find her lighter. The gas buildup caused a shotgun sounding blast. Everyone at her party dropped to the ground. Fortunately no one was hurt!
I remember my dad grilling back in the 50s. We had a charcoal grill where there were racks that held the meat and they hung on the sides – sort of looked like a toaster! Great food – great memories.

My favorite grilling time was years ago. My parents and us three kids went for a Sunday picnic at a campground near a lake. Not having much money, we were having fried potatoes cooked on the grill as our meal. It started pouring down the rain, so we all sat in the car while my dad ran back and forth to the campfire to check the potatoes holding a newspaper over his head, and we’d all giggle the whole time. To this day I still smile when I think of that – sometimes the simplest things in life are the most memorable!
My best grilling moment was with my dad last father’s day.
My favorite grilling time was when my kids were young and we made hobo dinners — seasoned ground beef, sliced potato and apple slices wrapped in aluminum foil. My kids are now grown, but they still talk about how fun that was.

best grilling moment is when my fiance and I made shrimp and veggies kabbos on the grill. they were delicious!
My best grilling moment would be my husband and my father grilling together. They were so into it that they grilled probably 20 lbs of meat for 5 people. They kept bringing food inside and it was just a really fun afternoon. Thanks for the great giveaway.
My best grilling moment was when I made my first official hamburger that wasn’t some pre frozen patty. I have always been leery about my cooking skills so to be able to mix, grill and al that good stuff on my own was a pretty proud moment for me.
Hmmmm . . I can’t say that we really have a great grilling story – no singed eyebrows~! Our event inevitably seems to lead to the discovery that we are out of propane at least once a season – and my hubby has to race to the gas station while the meat is half cooked on the barbecue. But, the best thing about our barbecue is our secret marinade . . .I drool thinking about it!
Once on a group camping trip, someone borrowed our tabletop grill and for some strange reason, set it on top of one of those built-in grills they have at parks. They put the charcoal in the built in grill and the meat on top of our grill…don’t ask why, lol. Anyways, the charcoal left a film allover the outside of our grill, and when we went to use it that night, it burst into flames!! Luckily we put out the blaze quickly, but it was a funny moment later to discover what a goofy thing they did!

My husband promised me a night out to eat…he meant it literally…he took me out on the deck to the grill and grilled my supper “out” of the house…now it’s a joke between us…he is always telling everyone he takes me out to eat all the time.

The fun of grilling is so great so nice to not have to heat up the whole house too!
i waited too long and burnt the meat
My best grilling moment was an outdoor family get-together last summer. I made shish-ke-bob and all my siblings brought a side dish. We had a blast.

A dear friend of ours is an avid hunter. But he always complains he can never get his deer steaks to be juicy off the grill.
They came over for a cookout one day and had marinated their deer steaks. I threw them on the grill and got them to a great temperature. He went to carve it open to see if it was done and I said NO!!! Don’t cut it.. it let’s all the juices out. I used my meat thermometer and tested it. I pulled it off the grill, let it sit a couple minutes then we sat down to eat.
They were nice and juicy. He was SOOO excited that he had finally learned how to cook his meat.
NEVER CUT Your meat open while cooking!!

My grilling memory is Memorial weekend spent at my hubby’s family bbqing and eating and jumping on the trampoline. Let’s just say you should wait a bit before jumping on the trampoline after a large meal of meat, beans and potato salad.

The first time my son fired up the charcoal grill, he closed the lid after getting it lit. When he opened it later, it singed all the exposed hair on his body. Now he knows not to close the lid.
I had a BBQ for the 4th of July and it was absolutely perfect. The food, weather and the pictures even came out with me looking good. The family started called me Dr BBQ after that. Goes day in the grilling hall of fame.
I had just gotten a gas grill and made a teriyaki steak on it, using a London Broil I’d marinated overnight in a home-made teriyaki sauce. My friends really enjoyed it, and they still mention it even though that was more than 20 years ago.

One year, my husband got the grill out from under the deck to get it ready for the season. He turned on the burners and mice started running out of it. They had built a nest inside of it and of course the nesting material caught on fire.

When I was dating my husband and he would fix me something special on the grill. It really didn’t matter what – just knowing he cared enough was special.
One of the fun things about my grandsons growing up is their determination to learn to grill. Sometimes the food is a little strange, but they are learning and I think that they are very close to becoming grillmasters now!

One of my best grilling memories is hot dogs that were do cooked, you needed two to fill the bun. It’s something we still talk about today. It was so funny.
Every Father’s Day my mom would have everyone over and she’d grill shishkabobs and they were SO tasty. I will always associate that smell with her house on Father’s Day.

My dad wasn’t around much when we were kids but one of the things I do remember him doing at home was grilling salmon on the grill. He had this special sauce he made to put on it and it was really good….I have yet to be able to replicate it.
ok warning put your drinks down and make sure your spit is gone becuase back in the 70′s dad and his charcoal grill were not cooking fast enough so he decided to put a little boost to it and one hand had the lid proped up and the other the bottle he was squirting from and he squirted and the lid blew up in the air and so did flames go shooting way up high luckily between the trees and avoiding a huge fire..what was in that bottle- gasoline-

My husband’s best grilling moment is making the most delicious ribs I’ve ever had and then sharing them with my late father who ranted and raved about them all evening.
I make these fabulous burgers on the grill with Bacon, Cheddar Cheese, and Portabello Mushrooms in the middle of the burger and on top! They are to DIE for!

the day my husband bought a smoker and made the BEST brisket ever!
i guess when i discovered corn on the cob still in it’s husk, cooked next to the stake so it got some steak smokiness. just a little extra benefit
I am the griller in the family…my husband will grill sometimes, but it’s normally me. I love corn on the cob on the grill. My favorite recipe on the grill, besides shish kebobs that we rarely have, is smoked sausage basted, or marinated if I have time, in honey, mustard, and vinegar. The best! thanks! I also have an electric grill…I love it. I never run out!

Best memory is when my neice asked me to show her how to grill and I let her cook everything.
My dog knocked over our grill once and set the grass on fire.
I learned to cook and time meals on a grill as part of my summer job in a meat packing plant. I was a quality inspector and had to cook meat for taste panels and have three different cuts ready on time for each panelist. My only problem was I didn’t have a basket or skewer for the rib tips and I lost several of them between the big grates.
My funniest grilling moment was about 2 weeks ago. My son, 12, wanted to help with the grill, I have never let him near it before now….but. I told him he could watch the meat and was very careful about showing him how to handle opening the grill and not to flip any meat, I would handle the flipping.
All of a sudden I heard a yelp and my darling son was battling the flames with help from his dad….with water guns! ACK!! But it was funny and the meat was good.

My best grilling moment was my parents 50th wedding anniversary. I had bought $15 a pound filet mignon. My parents eat theirs raw , my sister eats hers medium rare, my husband eats his medium, and I eat mine burnt. I got them all done at the same time and they were SOOOOO good!

We use our grill all year long, but use it to the extreme during the warmer months. One of my favorite meals on the grill is london broil that we marinate in italian salad dressing overnight. The steak gets such a wonderful flavor. I also love roasted potatoes, that we make from red potatoes. We cut them into chunks, season them, sprinkle with a little olive oil and place them in a foil pan. We then place the pan on the grill and let them roast. Delish!
Thanks so much for this wonderful giveaway.

Jim Bean BBQ Sauce…$9.00
Weber Gas Grill…$229.00
Meeting your daughter’s boyfriend for the first time, and showing him how to grill the perfect rack of ribs…Priceless!
Watching my dad teach the bf how to BBQ on father’s day…perfectly priceless!
I just bought my husband a grilling cookbook. Hopefully we have some grilling moments. Unfortunately most of our moments end up with something that needs re-grilling as it is pink or not cooked enough…he tries hard but had a dad who only cooked hot dogs and hamburgers on the grill.
We are mostly hot dogs & hamburgers folks, but when we grill the occasional steaks and they come out perfect… can’t be beat!
I just recently live in usa and steak is very new for me. But I already love it!!! My husband makes the best steaks!
I think my most memorable grilling experience was last month the day before my oldest Grandson left for the Navy. We all came together for the day to celebrate him. He loves my Grilled Chops and Pineapple so I had to cook them for him since it will be April before I see him again.
My best grilling moment happened last year when I was in charge of the grill for a good friend’s birthday. So many hungry people showed up that I can’t remember how many burgers and hotdogs I grilled along with a few a steaks for the VIPs. Everyone had a good time and left with a full stomach.
I think my best grilling moment was when I finally learned to grill things myself. I realized this was not just a man’s job. I grilled all the time after that!
My best grilling moment was really my worst. I bought some nice steaks, grilled them up. Everyone was sitting down waiting for their food. I put the steaks in one of those tin throwaways and started walking and they tipped out from the weight. My dog ran over and started biting at the food so it was a complete waste. But the best part was that we still laugh about it all this time later.
When my kids were little we barbequed on the cheap with a little hibatchi. They were always super excited to see real flames and eat outside.
We have the grill and a nice outside firepit on the patio. Hubby thought the under storage area of the firepit would be great for wood storage. Not, thank goodness for quick reflexes and a handy water hose.
Why do men think that they are the only ones that can grill? It amazes me. I am the cook in the house, yet every time I say I am going to grill, I here “you can’t do that..let me!” Every time I grill is my favorite moment, because it’s ALWAYS the same. I sneak outside and get the grill all ready. My husband begins bickering at me that I can’t grill, or I don’t know how to do it. I always remind him that I do ALL the cooking in our house, and I think I can manage. I slave away and he checks on me every 5 minutes, while giving me this weary look. After everyone sits down, our 3 children always comment that my grilling is much better and tastier than his. He always grumbles, and it’s the same every time, until hours after dinner he admits that my food came out pretty darn good (just not as good as his).
Tonights dinner was fantastic grilled pork chops that melted in my mouth!
I don’t have a lot of “memorable” experiences with grilling (minus burning my arm), but I always thought it was special when the little community I grew up in brought out their huge grill, set it up in the park across from my house, and grilled up chicken for Memorial Day. Those are great memories for me.

My best grilling moment might have been grilling for my dad this past weekend why he relaxed.
On my birthday I almost caught my house on fire, but at least the burgers were flame broiled.
My favorite grilling moment was the first time I made ribs for my hubby and sons. I thought they were gonna lick the skin right off their fingers, they were so excited about the meal! No left overs that night!

When I was a kid, we spent many weekends grilling outdoors on a big green Hibachi we had brought back from Japan. My dad made the best knockwurst, and my mom made the best beef teriyaki.
most definitely going to the park for a bbq. having everything I mean EVERYTHING chips, sodas, buns, hot dogs, beef, steaks, condiments, lettuce tomatoes, relish trays, and we forgot the CHARCOAL!!!!!!
I love going to my daughters house by the pool. Her husband is the master chef. He can marinade a steak the best of anybody I have ever known. It is like anything he cooks taste great. I would give this to him and he would love it. Thanks
Favorite grilling moment is every 4th of July. Its a tradition to grill out and hang out by our pool every year with our family and friends. What is better than good food and great people!

My best grilling moment was actually just the other day! My husband is in the military and has been away for 17 months – we love to grill, but his huge gas grill is a little intimidating!! So, I bought a much smaller charcoal grill – perfect for my four year old and “mommy” and we grilled chicken with rosemary and veggies – it was great and I was proud of my new charcoal skills – haha!

We love having BBQ and sharing memories with friends and family. We usually do BBQ for memorial day, 4th of July, or Summer FUN! While my husband and I were dating we had a BBQ with my family and I hate cutting my own meat so I asked my husband can you cut my meat for me? He said, YES!! My dad was so surprised and he said, She already has you trained.
I don’t have any stories of me because I’m afraid of the grill, but my husband almost caught our house on fire by lighting the grill under the porta-cache.

My favorite moment is just having the family together. No matter what happened grilling, it was always fun.
last week – forgetting about the kabob on the grill and running out to find it done perfectly!
My favorite grilling memory is every time the whole family gets together for a cook out.
I love beef. My funniest memory of grilling is when my dad got his first propane griller. He gave us all a lecture on the safety measures etc. Then he turned around turned on the grill with the lid down, we tried to warn him he hushed ua, lifted the lid to put the meat on and burned off his eyebrows. As soon as we were sure he wasn’t hurt we laughed our heads off. He finely read the instruction booklet and until he passed away we enjoyed many wonderful meals on that grill

My best grilling moment is just remembering all the good times we have had enjoying food fresh off the grill. Thanks!
I love marinated skirt steak on the bbq!
My best grilling moments are when my husband just surprises me with a fantastic grilled item. He’ll just walk in with my plate of food, he’s the best!
Where’s The Beef?
I like trying new marinades for chicken and then grilling it. We experiment to see what has the best flavor and keeps the chicken moist on the grill. My best grilling moment was when I learned to grill the chicken get it cooked thoroughly w/o burning it..lol. I am getting better.
I remember when I first bought my hubby his gas grill for college graduation. For weeks we ate burnt food, but then he finally cought the hang of grilling and now makes amazing masterpieces.
My best grilling moment was when I did perfect halibut steaks. They were sooo good! Thanks for the chance.
Oh, so long ago when I grilled chicken for my brothers, and used lighting fluid. They commented on how the chicken tasted like lighting fluid.
My in-laws had just gotten a small gas grill, and we were over for memorial day. It was like 1 and no one had eaten. We were supposed to go to a friends house around 3 and we felt so bad about leaving we practically forced them to light up the new grill and we had burgers and hot dogs. At 3 we left for our friends, stopped at the store to pick up something to drink and arrived at a surprise BBQ in our honor (we were moving away that month) All our family was there. Everyone knew but us, so they just ate the burgers and hot dogs to keep us form gettign suspicious!

My favorite grilling moment occured when my husband and I bought a brand new weber grill for our house and then realized it would never fit in our honda civic. The store owner, (we bought it at a local shop), asked one of her employees to drop it in a truck and drop it off at our house. It was such a sweet gesture and we were so thankful that we didn’t have to rent a truck just to bring it home.

I remember early in my marriage on nice days when hubby would come home from work I would pack up the prepared dinner and the uncooked steak or burgers and we would go to a roadside park that is nearby. We felt like we were on vacation and it made dinner so romantic.
We’re die-hard BBW’ers, so we even BBQ in the winter! And yes, there was snow on the ground. lol! Well…. one winter, we were having a get-together with family and we were BBQ’ing some very expensive steaks. Normally, my husband handles all the BBQ’ing, but he had a really bad cold; so I decided to “man” the grill and felt confident I had everything under control. lol! I got a little heavy-handed with the lighter fluid stuff. The steaks were halfway cooked and a BIG fire started and the steaks caught on fire!!!!!!
I knew my husband always had his trusty water spray bottle nearby, but I didn’t have it ‘nearby’ and couldn’t find it!!! lol! So when I couldn’t stop the fire with my hands by fanning at it , I didn’t know what else to do, so I used the long spear-like fork thingy and threw each steak into the snow!!!! Family started charging out of the house when they heard me yelling, and the yelling got worse when they saw me throwing expensive and delicious steaks into the snow!!! rofl! Needless to say, we had a very scrumptious, yet empty, dinner with lots of side dishes and desserts, but no MEAT!!! lmbo!! I was so embarrassed, but I couldn’t stop laughing either, which made everyone else laugh!! lol! Thank you for this great contest!
I dislike cooking because I’m really not that good at it…however, I LOVE to grill! My greatest grilling moment is everytime that I can cook a yummy meal outside in the sunshine. I think I enjoy it so much because it is a way to be outside and the clean up is easy!
My favorite grilling moment was when I was having a memorial day weekend and got the propane tank filled, but the grill was clogged and the fire wouldn’t go on full force. The food was extremely slow cooked, but everyone said it was the best! Nice and tender and juicy… flavored to perfection!

The funniest (or not) grilling moment I remember is having 40 neighbors over for burgers and dogs. Somehow a lot of grease dripped into the flames and the burgers literally caught on fire! We couldn’t get them extinguished and had to take a hose to the grill. So much for burgers that day!
The best grilling moment for me is always that first bite of barbeque.
I love it when my husband bbqs (I mostly get a dinner break). He makes the most awesome barbecued corn on the cob and his steaks are heavenly! Man, my mouth is starting to water!

my son takes after his parents…old skool carnivore. we LOVE beef. we received our grill through Freecycle…it works, and we love it! The best thing about grilling is it keeps the heat out of the house, so our fan or air conditioning don’t have to work quite as hard to keep the 90 degree temperatures at something a little more tolerable.
there’s NOTHING as scrumptious as the smoky taste of salted, peppered, and buttered ribeye right off the grill…medium-rare. OH YES!

I have one favorite beef moment every year. It is the first time I grill steaks outside each summer. Yummo!
My husband is the grill master – every time he grills is a chance for me to get away from the every day routine.
My favorite grilling moment is when my husband accidentally seasoned our pre-seasoned steaks. Yuck. Talk about a mouth full of salt…and we were so looking forward to that yummy steak! Haha. We love grilling out and do it about 3 times a week in the summer. Hope I win this awesome giveaway
My best grilling moment is when I held my first backyard summer grilling party 2 years ago.
My best grilling moment is when I made the best flank steak. A friend showed me a wonderful recipe and it was divine.
My best grilling moment was this past Memorial Day weekend. My hubby was grilling some burgers and left them to get more meat and my son came up and started pretending to be my husband, even saying common quotes like “Once you try my meat, you’re in for a treat!” When my husband came back he found my son imitating him and this was cause for laughter all day!

My best memory is one of me cooking thin ribeye steaks on the grill for Steak sandwiches. I normally don’t cook on the grill because I’m very intimidated by it, but I cooked them and they turned out great. It’s is something I try to cook as regularly as I can afford the steak which is not very often.
Count me in please
Having all of our friends over for BBQ’s after they finished up their softball games in the summer. That was a great summer for grilling!
My Dad always used too much lighter fluid and squirted in on the fire. I was surprised that he never caught on fire.
Grilling means outdoors which means family and friends this package would certainly be cause for another get together
My favorite grilling moment has to be the first time we grilled shrimp! Wow! What a great culinmary experience! Thank you!
My best grilling moments are when my sweetie cooks the steak and then does clean-up duty as well. The clean-up part is few and far in between. Summer is my time for outdoor grilling and chilling.
When I was little, the whole family would go to the beack and cook dinner on one of the BBQ pits. Afterwards, we’d roast smores over the coals.
We had a family reunion bar-b-que that was so much fun
Does it have to be a good memory? I bought 2 full slabs of ribs- bouiled em. Got em perfect. Put em on the grill and next thing I knew there was smoke all ovet the yard- they were BLACK and had to be thrown away. We were all SOOOO mad!
My best memories were when my dad use to cook on the grill when I was a kid. I miss that and now he lives out of state.
my first attempt to grill tiger shrimp: i lined them up in squadrons of 5×10, flipped them every two minutes with a 15 second top closing followed by sauce basting…success!
My best grilling receipe is actually my son’s ‘secret kabob’s’. He won’t tell anyone what’s in the mix but we do know that it involves several marinades, overnight, of course. Whatever it is, it’s totally AWESOME!! God’s Blessings to all….

My favorite grilling moment is anytime I get to put filets on the grill!
I like grilled steaks the most and the best is when the rest of the dinner all comes together at the same time the steaks are done!
My husband always made the burgers..I was a bit squemish about touching the raw hamburger…well I decided to have a barbque for my sons bday & my hubby decided not to show up…needless to say, I made the burgers with two plastic bags on my hands, unfortunately did not pack them tight enough & I put them on the grill with all these parents I barely knew & basically they just crumbled & fell apart…not my best memory ;{

My best grilling moment has to be BBQ’s in mom and dads backyard! My dad drives truck and in the summer something special always seemed to be falling off, whether that be steak from Black Angus, Burgers from the Marriott, or Ribs from Black Angus! We got lucky and always looked forward to the surprise of what fell off Dad’s Truck! Not only was it a delicious surprise but fun to just be outside hanging with the family! This would be such a great family treat!

We bought some filet mignons from Costco and since they are so thick and hard to cook without burning some part of the steaks we filleted them and they were so delicious and they don’t burn when cooked that way. great giveway by the way.
My best grilling moment is that I don’t have one. No fires. No eyebrows/eyelashes singed & burnt flesh & e-coli poisoning from undercooked meat stories for me. I’ve avoided the whole backyard bbq thing for 49 years now and I intended to continue…
My boyfriend once forgot to turn down the heat on a chicken on the grill after burning off the grates … and then completely forgot about it all together. Blackened chicken, anyone? It was a brick!

My best grilling moment was when it was a friends birthday and I threw a party. It started to rain, actually pour, out as the food was cooking on the eletric grill. We had to move the grill to the window and cook while we were inside. The food survived, but the house was loaded with insects!!
we love to grill steaks… no funny stories, yet
I don’t have a specific memories. My dad was the best on the grill growing up! We loved having dinner cooked on the grill and now I am married to a wonderful guy who is “The grillmaster”! He makes the best food on the grill especially on charcoal!

I love to grill out year round-!! I know -pretty silly with ice and snow falling-but hey,its still yummy!
My best grilling moment was when I decided to conquer my fear of grilling steak. I marinated and grilled it to medium perfection and it was DELICIOUS. What was I waiting for? I am a grilling machine!
My hubby is a chef, and there is never a time I can out cook him. I love for him to cook on our BBQ gas grill. I can eat everything he cooks there, and NOTHING cooked over charcoal…He likes to surprise me with an entire dinner cooked on the gas grill, from meet and potatoes to grilled corn on the cob and even a dessert. YUM!

Most memorable moment was when I tried to cook a turkey on our grill. Found a recipe online that sounded great. Cooked for hours……It was awful…Looked pretty but when my husband went to cut it was raw about 1-2 inches into the bird….We threw it away. Will always remember this.

overall summer barbecueing almost every night is my favorite bbq moment! We even keep going late into the cold season because we don’t want to admit it’s time to cook inside during winter
My best grilling moment was last summer when I was able to actually use the grill because my husband’s back went out and he couldn’t. He is very territorial about the grill so it is rare that I get a chance to use it myself. He is an excellent grill-er though, better than me (I tend to overcook on the grill)
I remember going to my aunt’s house as a kid and we would grill burgers and dogs and get corn out of their garden and throw that on too…

Well it certainly wasn’t the best moment but it sure was funny. The day we moved into our new house the family was grilling burgers and somehow my husband’s cousin got grill duty. She nearly caught the porch on fire and she made hockey pucks out of the burgers.
I don’t think I have a best grilling “moment” more like a memory. My family always had 4th of July bbqs at my Aunt’s back in NY and even as a child I looked forward to it every year. It was pools, fireworks and yummy grilled food (burgers, hot dogs, chicken, sausages- yum!)and I loved it. I miss those bbqs especially because I am over 400 miles from my family and now that my grandpa moved back to NY from FL they are having the bbq at my Aunt’s like they used to this year and I am going to miss it!

Cookouts/BBQ’s are such a special time to gather family and friends and make precious memories. As a kid we always had cookouts on one spur of the moment, we would call a few people and before you knew it the whole yard was filled with laughter and smiling faces. Now as an adult I continue the tradition. Call the fam we are having a cookout!!!
I remember standing in the snow–just me, the BBQ and steaks. They made a winter day something special and it was so quiet outside.
sylviawhit@gmail.com
The night we attempted pork tenderloin was memorable because it was the first time we’d attempted anything other than burgers.
There is nothing like the smell of BBQs in the summer. That has to be my favorite way to cook meat. Our favorite is Boneless Maui Ribs

I’m in my fifties now, and both parents deceased…but my fondest memories of being raised on a farm in Indiana is every Saturday my dad would fire up the grill for chicken in the summer. And then we’d have a watermelon for desert that had been sitting under the shadetree all day. Memories….

My favorite grilling memory was sitting around the campfire in the deep dark northern Wisconsin forest, waiting to taste the perch and bluegill freshly caught in our nightly fishing expeditions on Bolton Lake. They were SOOOOO GOOOOD. Thanks Dad & Mom for teaching such valuable survival skills.
One of my favorite things to do on the BBQ is pork loin. If you do it over indirect heat it come out really juicy and tender. One of our best is Garlic & Cumin Pork Loin at http://www.recipesformoms.com/2009/04/garlic-cumin-pork-loin.html.

My friend had bought his house an had a ton of people over to his house, 5 grills going. We had all made our favorite meats going to a butcher shop right before…..one of the best meals I ever had.
A lot of good memories center around the grill. The most recent one… Just the other day, when my brother and his fiance were here, I started up the grill without removing the leaves that had fallen in. We had quite the fire going on. My husband handed me a squirt bottle of water. I squirted out the fire, then handed the bottle to my future sister in law. Within a matter of seconds, a water fight broke out.

More than a few years ago, I was trying to use a gas grill for the first time. I couldn’t get it to light and I was kind of bending over trying to peek under the burner when…you guessed it…the grill lit at the same moment a stiff little breeze blew my waist-length hair into the flame. Fortunately, I didn’t have any product in my hair so I just lost a little of it, but that one spot became frizzy that day and remains frizzy today.
I now have a grill with an electronic starter.

My most memorable BBQ moment was as child; not a good moment for me though. I remember my Dad made these burgers on the grill one weekend and they were the best, juiciest burgers I had ever had. Later, after the meal I found out they were made from Venison. I was devastated and cried like a baby. See it hadn’t been very long after I had watched the movie Bambie for the first time. It was forever before I would eat anything my Dad had cooked on the grill after that incident.

Funniest moment was shortly after we moved into our new house. My husband was trying to put some burgers and steaks on the grill. He turned on the gas and pressed the button to light the burners. When it didn’t light the first time, he continued pressing the button repeatedly until a huge fireball erupted and singed his eyebrows, eyelashes, and the hair on his arms!

I have fond memories of my dad and his Barbeque. It was his domain, with rituals and tools that only he really understood. He was king of the grill, and prepared the meats, organized the tools and oversaw the charcoal mountain, all wearing his striped BBQ apron.
My favorite grilling moment was recently when we had some family members whom we haven’t seen in about a year do a surprise visit. We all had a nice grill out.

My best grilling moment just happened a few weeks ago. I’d been away for three days, but had left a gorgeous piece of London Broil in my special marinade for nearly a week! When I got home and unpacked the truck, I grilled up the meat, made some mock mashed potatoes and finished up the half-bottle of organic wine I had left from my trip. My mom and I had the most lovely meal (albeit at about ten o’clock at night) and it was the best piece of meat either of us could remember having eaten!

We grill all the time and steak is one of my favorites to cook on the grill. Quite a few years ago, we were having family over for a barbeque. Wouldn’t you know it – the tank ran out of gas in the middle of cooking. We were quite embarassed and had to finish cooking the food in the oven. Now we make sure to check how much gas we have before having company over.

It wasn’t very funny then, but we laugh about it now…not long after marrying my husband of 35 years, we went camping and brought one of those small b-b-q grills that used charcoal…anyway, while my DH was preparing the “grill”, a Park Ranger stopped by to warn us about fire safety and the high risk of fire during the hot summer months…we chatted and he (the Ranger)went on his way, and when we turned our attention back to the grill, the flames were so high the tree branches above it had caught fire! We quickly doused the tree with water, all the while looking around to see if any one had noticed. We could have burned the place down! LOL

My granddaughter’s middle school class took a long field trip and visited St. Louis (where we live). We borrowed a friend’s restaurant sized barbeque pit (and the outside area) and DH barbequed for about 30 kids and adults. Do you have any idea how much meat teenaged boys consume? But it was wonderful fun!

My favorite grilling moment is when I was in cub scouts, but dad was the cubmaster and we had a big whole pack father/son campout every year. We are talking about anywhere from 75-100 people. My dad had the great idea to have the Saturday night meal as turkey cooked on the grill. With that many people though, we had to get like 8 grills to make enough turkey for everyone.
When you mentioned mosquitos ruining the perfect cookout, it bought to mind that wasps would also fit in that category. We had no idea that there were wasps nests in the house shutters. Their swarms were an indication that the flying bombs seemed to love the smell of the beef and burgers we were grilling for our company. We were fortunate that none were seriously injured and no major property damage was substained in our haste to get far away from the flying stingers. Trampled steaks are still tasty after a bit of cleaning.
My sister came to visit last summer (she lives over 1500 miles from me – although she would tell you I live 1500 miles from HER) and I thought I would make bacon cheeseburgers. Not even thinking clearly, I decided it would be more practical to grill the bacon with the burgers. We live and learn, as the bacon dropped so much fat that the grill caught fire. Will, the drippings did but it covered the grill. What to do? I closed the grill, went inside for some more bacon (for the stove, this time) and accepted the fact that I added more fodder for the teasing wagon she carries with her. I knew better, I’m older than she is and have been cooking for decades. What was I thinking?
We are fans of the beer butt chicken, 1/2 can of beer in the chicken carcass placed on the hot grill to be left for 2-3 hours, taste better than a rotisserie chicken and the meat is so moist. Thanks for the contest
We have a crazy grill story! We grill practically daily, so we were shocked one day when we started the grill to find out there was a squirrel inside! By the time anyone noticed, it was way too late!
And of course, my husband, being the redneck he is, decided since it was practically already cooked, should go ahead and cook it down more to eat with dinner!
Yeah, we are THAT classy!
How awesome! I adore anything to do with cooking. And adore all the helpful gadgets and stuff. Love grilled beef. Tender and juicy, right off the grill. A perfectly cooked steak or roast and everyone is in heaven. All talk stops and all you hear is moans of pleasure. The true reward of any cook.
We have a gas grill but when grilling for just us two we pull out the Weber Smoky Joe grill that my husband won in a contest. jelly15301@gmail.com

Our most fun memory is about grilling in the rain! Just when we were about ready to put on the steak and hamburgers, the heavens opened up.
I still have pictures of the smoke clouds – when the rain drops hit the hot BBQ grill top.
We love grilling steak, foil potatoes and corn on the cob – an entire dinner on the grill!
We grill out year-round (even in Nebraska)several times a week. My finest grilling moment? I was about 12 and was allowed to do the grilling for our family. Got all the goods off the grill and started to head indoors. RUH ROH…I stumble and it all falls to the ground.
What to do? I brushed off all the schmuck and took em inside like nothing had happened. No one was any the wiser.
The best grilling moment is when people come up to you afterwards and tell you how great your grilling skills are

My best recent grilling moment was turning out a decent steak on my tiny *indoor* grill, since fate seems to be conspiring against my ever having an outdoor grill.
When we were first married, we had a tiny charcoal grill out on the patio of our apartment. One night we made kabobs and I swear they took FOREVER to cook, but they were delicious.

My parents grill was set on their front porch and there was a little window in the living room that peered over the grill. Us kids use to go into giggle fits peaking out the window and watching dad grill – we’d bang on the window, make faces and do other silly childish things trying to distract him from his important job =)

Best Grilling Moment-
I was grilling a couple of steaks about 12 years ago. Had them seasoned and cooking slow on the grill…the smell made its way down a few houses to a neighbor which I had never met before. She found her way to my backyard, asked if I needed some steak sauce, and we have been married since!!!
My favorite grilling story involves my deceased father-in-law. He used to make the best “Beer Butt chickens”. I would love to win this for my dad. Thanks for the chance.

Right after I moved into my first house my friend and I were ripping paneling off the wall. We ran out grabbed some hamburger for dinner only to discover that all my kitchen stuff was packed in a POD in a warehouse. However we did have drywall knives! Maybe not the best meal but, good times.

My favorite summer meal is grilled steak (on the bone so you can knawl on it when you are done-my 9 year old son has inherited my joy of steak bones) corn on the cob, onion rings and sliced tomatoes! YUM
Best grilling moment was grilling my favorite recipe–Thai style grilled chicken–for my entire sunday school class. The recipe is very labor intensive, requiring freshly crushed garlic and a rub that is smothered under and over the skin. I probably spent nearly 2 hours prepping. My efforts were rewarded and the chicken was amazing.

My friends and I fish and hunt all year long. We freeze some of everything we get. Then on Labor Day weekend, We all get together and camp out around a big bonfire. We all bring our old charcoal grills and we create a feast! Then, we have a taste test where we all try everyone’s dishes. My specialty is teriaki venison kabobs!
Our family loves to grill. We have one of those gas grills so we usually cook alot! We love the outdoors when we arent at home grillin we are at the local state park. We love to go tubing and ride jet skis. We usually eat after all the fun and bring our coolers full of all kinds of great meats for grilling.
We grill all the time. My favorite moment is that I then don’t have to cook! Tastes better anyway!

honestly I let my husband do the grilling – I am so afraid of using the gas grill. I set my kitchen on fire pan frying so grilling is far above my expertise level. I did grill once and could not even figure out how to turn things on or off. I have since learned to love my crockpot and george foreman grill

My favorite grilling moments are the times I spend with friends and family.
My favorite grilling moment has been teaching my older children how to help cook on the grill. My 9 year old daughter LOVES to cook and recently just started letting her help me on the grill. She surprised her daddy with cube steak, chicken and grilled veggies. I loved seeing her just beaming with pride that she did it herself.

I have twins sons leroy and Ryan Cook I remember when they were about 7 and we BBQ outside they asked why are we doing this I said to celebrate the country so Ryan says well where are they and we need more meat. I said they are all over so he said to me I don’t think we have enough. I went into the house to bring out some salad when I came out Ryan and his twin brother had put all the meat on the grill and said mom I still don’t think this is enough we need to go to the grocery store even now we still laugh at them and they are going to be 16th on July 8th.
I was smoking some ham in the smoker last halloween and my hand went up in flames. I had to go to the ER twice
Kabobs are great on the grill. I like to marinate beef and chicken, and use veggies like onions, green and red peppers, corn on the cob cut into small pieces. They are easy to fix and don’t take much time to cook.

I remember the first time my husband and I tried to figure out how to work our gas grill. It was quite a challenge – and we had to put it on hold to go eat something because we were so hungry!
how cool is this, yum
My best grilling moment is when the food is served and I actually get to eat it.
My favorite memory is of my husband teaching the boys to use the grill. it was fun to watch
I’d love to win this set! I don’t have any exciting stories but I do love to grill a few times a week even though it is so dang hot here. I love making ribs!
My best memory is during Ice Storm 2009 when we were without electric for 13 days and our homes are total electric here.
We ate good though because of the grill. My brother had to travel 2 hrs to get propane. A generator kept the freezers going but we had to cook food that was being defrosted as the fridges defosted quick before we could get gas for the generator as all the gas stations were without power too. We might have froze but we ate good due to the Grill!
I like grilling a simple burger. The grill just makes it taste so much better!
My most fun grilling moment was at a friend’s house where there were many more friends. We grilled salmon, steak, burgers, corn and peppers. What a fun day with people who you care about and people who care about you.

My favorite thing on the grill for some reason other than meat is corn on the cob. My favorite memory is of my kids last year when I made corn on the cob on the grill my kids told me I could finally make it taste good. In a weird way I will cherish it forever, after all they are only little once.

My greatest grilling moment was when the entire family got together for a wing party. The recipes and wings of all sorts was so much fun and so good.
My greatest grilling moment is one that I’ll never do again. I turned the gas on high and put the lid down thinking I would be able to burn off all the buildup on the rack. Well, about 7 minutes later I came out and put the chicken on the racks and it started flaming and the chicken immediately turned black on the outside. It took a long time for the flames to die down even after I turned them off. My husband will never let me forget that one.

We love grilling
I can remember when I was a child back in the 1940′s (before Webber grills) most people grilled chicken ongrilles that basically looked like a toaster You put chicken in a flat basket an dropped it in a slot between the hot charcol. I can still smell the aroma of the chicken cooking
I put steaks on the grill and forgot about them until 1 hour later. They were charred
My favorite (or worst…) grilling memory happened just after my husband and I got married. The grill was on the back porch and he went out and got it lit using a charcoal chimney. It was going good, lots of smoke coming out of the chimney. But there was one problem. He had forgotten to shut the windows on the back porch so all of that smoke was going into the house! The house smelled like smoke for days.
Probably, barbecuing soyburgers on a windy day at the beach. Out of respect for a vegan.
They tasted like sand with ketchup on it.
Accidental Jerky. Picked up some thin cut sirloin tip steak the other day thinking it would be enough for dinner on a weekday. Just finished scrubbing the inside of the grill to, and forgot to replace drip plate. Went inside for what seemed like a moment, stepped back out to check on it, and noticed that the grill had caught fire, and the meat had shrunk up to half its normal size. So I figured might as well make the best of it so I found a jerky recipe online, and brushed on some soy, brown sugar, and spices. Turned out preddy good as steak jerky i guess.
To be honest, I’m not the best griller. The best things I make are actually on my George Foreman grill. Maybe I’m afraid of the open flame!! But on the grill, I do make great potatoes that are sliced with onion, garlic, olive oil and wrapped in a tin foil pouch. They are yummy with steak.

We love to grill out. Our best meal is my secret family recipe barbecue sauce on my no fuss easy ribs. Yummy!
I used to grill out regularly overseas in Korea; it was the best time of the week. A side of special beans and some marinated short ribs – could not be beat!
Every summer when i was wonder, each friday was grilling night and my dad always asked us what he would like him to cook. After a while we would say random kinds of food and stuff and he would grill it. It was so much fun.
I have many fond grilling memories but my most recent good time grilling was a few weeks after we moved into our first home we bought. We had mom-and-dad-in-law, brother-in-law and his wife/kids over for steaks and companionship.. and showed off the house a little too! My in-laws family doesn’t get along that well all too often so it was nice just to enjoy each others company and some good grub for a little while!
My husband makes the best ribs ever. He has a secrect recipe that he won’t reveal. But, boy do those ribs taste good.

My fav grilling moment was when my hubby and I first got married and we grilled indoors with our new George Foreman grill. Lets just say we didn’t follow directions very well, and our chicken was a little overcooked. Thankfully our grilling skills have improved since, indoor and outdoor

We grill year round here. My hubby does all the grilling and always gets all the praise. I always laugh to myself when they praise him for such a fantastic dinner when all he did was turn meat, I did everything else. LOL
We live with snow six months of the year, so the first barbeque of the year is always a high light. We love steak marinated in Coke and Yoshidas.
My husband loves to grill especially sausage for breakfast. Yum yum. We have a farm so we have our own meat. Anyway once when he was grilling up a storm he didn’t move the hot grill away from the house and he melted the siding. Lucky he went outside for a quick food checkup or we would have had grilled house to go!

my hubby just this weekend put to much lighter fluid on the grill and poof up came the flames and scinged his beard and eyelashes the kids and I looked in horror because several years ago a bonfire back flamed on him and he suffered 2nd and 3 rd degree burns on 40% of his bidy and spent 6 weeks in the burn unit MEN WILL NEVER LEARN
My best grilling memory is of my husband “slaving” away to make dinner which consisted of grilled chicken breasts. Yep, just chicken breasts. He is famous for his TOTAL inability to cook. Once when someone was talking about men cooking my kids said the only thing their dad had ever cooked them was bacon sandwiches. Yep, bacon cooked in the microwave and then slapped on some bread. But it’s so sweet when he TRIES to cook me dinner by cooking something on the grill for me. So maybe this gift set would actually help him move beyond the chicken breasts, but if not at least I could grill myself up something nice. Thanks.
I remember the first time I had grilled italian sausage on a roll with a green pepper/onion sauce. Yum. Please accept my entry. Thank you.

My best Grill out moment was at my wedding. We had a simple, nontraditional wedding at a state park. My Uncle and my Dad grilled the food as we all sat around and gabbed about whatever we could think of. It was gorgeous outside and the lake brought on a beautiful breeze. The food was delicious and the day was perfect!
My family started calling me Dr BBQ when I put out the fire on a friend’s BBQ. Saved the back yard and purchased a BBQ grill with my friend and finished the BBQ party. People started calling me Dr BBQ and the named stayed. Love grilling and BBQ parties.

best gilling moment wasn’t mine, my friend likes the hot sauce, he made burgers one day for all of us, when I started eating it i turned red and my sunglasses completely fogged up but for some reason my mouth wasn’t ‘on fire’, one of the best burgers i ever had….
My best grilling moment:
Marinated some Kielbasa with peppers and onions drenched with orange juice, brown sugar and soy sauce, grilled on foil – everyone loved it!
My favorite grilling moment was the most recent time that my boyfriend (now fiancee grilled out). We have been renovating the kitchen for a whole year and it’s been completely unusable. We decided to grill out as our last celebratory meal without being able to use our kitchen and he made delicious cilantro and pacifico marinated garlic and lemon chicken! Now that we can use our kitchen again I’m still going to be craving things from the grill.
The grill is a centerpiece in our family. It gets used often for everything from simple burgers to fresh caught trout and sweet corn. Worst moment would be when the meat was half done, ran out of gas, no charcoal, and everything was closed (forgotten which holiday). We had to finish it in the oven …came out of course to hard and too dry …had to throw it away. Oh well ..now I always have a second tank on hand …ready to go.
I remember all the issues my Dad had trying not to use too much lighter fluid. When my Mom let me start the grill, I was sure to load it up.
My best grilling moment was when I was a child – I just came across a photograph that reminded me recently. My family moved around a lot and we had moved to a new town and still felt a bit awkward and uncomfortable. Then my Dad put a chef’s hat on my little brother and let him and me (the older sister) do the grilling ourselves! Everything turned out fine (despite my initial apprehension) and he was so proud of us!
My favorite grilling moment was when my husband fixed his dad’s grill (some kind of fire incident that melted one of the knobs!) just in time for buffalo burgers for the Fourth of July!

When we were new parents 35 years ago we decided to cook a duck on a rotisserie with an electric motor. We had a bad storm and the electricity went out. We had to keep running outside in the rain to rotate the duck so it would cook evenly. We still laugh about this today.
My best grilling momment was when i cooked steaks for my future father in law. After downing his rib eye he looked at me an said it was edible. Felt like I had just graduated cullinary school!
OUr best grilling moment is going to be on Friday when we do a 6 lb brisket.

This year we have been grilling a lot more vegetables than usual. Fresh Jersey sweet corn grilled right in the husk is something that you will never forget once you’ve had it. We dip the corn in water before putting it on the grill, it isn’t pretty when the husk catches fire, though I have to admit it still tasted delicious. Be safe out there.
We love to grill out, I think the best grilled item we have had is a pork roast, it was sooo good!
We love our traditional cookouts with hamburgers, hotdogs and homemade ice cresm! Thanks! senekers@comcast.net

My finest grilling moment came when we set up a grill on the dock where we had a little boat. I brined then dry rubbed several chickens and set them upright on those “can” roasting things and put them on the grill. After a while the aroma of roasting chicken was drawing other dockers like a dinner bell had rung. I think everyone on the dock made an excuse to walk by and ask “what ya cookin’?”
My father grilling hamburgers on the grill for me in the rain, cause I only ate meat if it was BBQ’d. He wore a bucket on his head so he wouldn’t get as wet.
My finest grilling moment is of course shared with the mister – I do the prep and he mans the grill. Anyway, we came up with an idea to grill a disc of brie cheese smothered with berries… OH my gosh it was heaven.

I don’t have a grilling moment as my Hubby is the resident grill expert in our house. He makes great burgers from scratch that includes a combination of onions and oatmeal among other ingredients!! They’re yummy! One favorite of mine though is grilled veggies…yummo!!

My best memories of grilling is when all the family came over and we have a bbq.
We used to belong to the Good Sam camping club when I was little. Actually, I think my parents are lifetime members. Anyway, I have great memories of cookouts with all our friends during campout weekend.
My favorite grilling moment is when my son does the grilling, he is such a good grill master!
As soon as I smell the BBQ I have great memories of summers past I love sitting around with friends and family at a great BBQ.
Drive around our small town on a Saturday evening or Sunday afternoon and stick your nose out the window… Mmmmmm… Then we have to go home and do our own!
My favorite grilling moment was the first time I grilled out with my dad and boyfriend together. It’s amazing how much testosterone a grill can stir up. No matter how sophisticated the guy, a little raw meat over an open flame turns them into their carnal selves. There was little more than grunting over the meal. Straight out of the Discovery Channel.
My favorite grilling memory is a family reunion several years ago at the lake. We had so much fun visiting and chasing the kids that when we finally set down to eat our grilled cheeseburgers they were the best I had ever tasted. Good company and great food = happiness
My best grilling moments happen every time the barbecue is on because its the first smell of whatever is cooking that is my favorite moment.
My best grilling moment would have to be this Father’s Day when my brothers and I bought my father a brand new grill. He had just gone through a divorce and his ex-wife had taken the grill the weekend before. He was depressed not only about the divorce, but about not being able to grill out with his kids on Father’s Day. So, the day before Father’s Day I went out and bought a bunch of food while my brothers picked up dad’s new grill and put it together. On Father’s Day he got to come downstairs to all of his kids standing next to his brand new grill and make the inaugural lighting.

We had our power go out due to weather–great time to barbeque!
Grilling steaks with the neighbors when the power went out.
My best grilling moment happened last summer. We had our favorite relatives over and had piled onto the grill numerous cuts of meat: marinated chicken breasts, ribs, and steak rubbed in seasoned salt. My husband slow-cooked it all until it was tender and amazingly delicious. It was served alongside cool summer salads and juice.
Funniest grilling moment has to be when I was in the kitchen washing dishes while my husband was lighting the grill outside. I looked out the window and POOF! The grill exploded and my husband started running around like a crazy person swinging his arms all around. It was hilarous! Way too much lighter fluid!!
My husband received a new smoker and of course had to use it right away. Put the sausage, turkey and roast in to smoke it. Ummmm…..somebody forgot to tell him that you don’t leave it in for hours, and hours. and hours. Its not happy sounds the meat is making its crys of anguish at the lost meat due to WAY overcooking. Think he is going to stick with the grill for most of the outdoor cooking now……
About three years ago a few friends and I decided to go camping in Arkansas. Everything was going great until we realized that none of really new how to get the grill going. About half a bottle of lighter fluid later we got the gist of it!

My best memories of grilling moments are those with family. The food is wonderful, of course, but the times spent together grilling and laughing are such good times.
Our best BBQ memories were when we lived in a condo and had this teeny little grill, my son was only about three and insisted on bringing out his toy grill and grilling along with daddy.
He did everything just like his dad, with the exception of the inevitable cursing, thankfully.

The best memories are of my father in law grilling fajitas every Sunday night. The family would all wait for the weekend to eat the best meat ever.
Mmm mm mmpfh mm mpfh mmm mm, mpfh? Roughly translated, it was that good!
I love to bbq. Since we’ve moved to Arizona from Idaho we have a lot more months of the year (12 as opposed to 3) where we can head outside and grill some steaks. I just love being able to hang out and throw some meat on the grill and drink some cold drinks by the pool.

My best grilling moment would be actually onl;y a couple weeks ago when I moved into my first condo that allows for a grill! a lot of fun using a REAL grill as opposed to a george foreman!
I caught flowers on fire. I had hung my planter too close to the grill!!
My best grilling moment would be when my husband
and I tried to grill some beef ribs for the first time, we left them on to long and they were burnt to a crisp, we had to order a pizza for dinner.
One time i was making some hot dogs and an old friend came by and we were talking so much, i forgot about the hot dogs and they got charred.
I “experimented” with grilling peaches on the grill. Everyone laughed at me. But I didn’t care. After searing the peach halves (and getting those lovely black marks) I placed them on foil and sprinkled shredded sharp cheddar cheese on them, then wrapped them up and let them stay in a cooler part of the grill for a few more minutes.
They were sensational!! And guess who had the last laugh?

my best grilling moment happened a few years ago. I was at home grilling steaks while the hubby and kiddos were on the way home. They said they could smell the grill before they got home and were hoping it was coming from our house and were pleasantly surprised when it was.
My best grilling moment was when I was successfully able to grill a bbq chicken pizza.
I used cooked chicken breast cut into thin slices, bbq sauce, red onion and shredded smoked gouda on top of a premade pizza dough.
Delicious!
I’ve actually never grilled before. The closest I’ve ever come is when I cooked on a wood burning stove we had in our townhouse installed by the previous owners. I was using it because there was an ice storm and our power was out for a few days.
As part of our wedding weekend my husband and I organized a BYOM (Bring Your Own Meat) BBQ. We set up all the grills and provided the sides and fixings while our guests each brought what they wanted to grill. Everyone had the best time standing around the grills socializing and sharing their BBQ.

The funniest BBQ moment was when my die-hard husband was determined to grill some steaks despite hideous weather, so he moved the grill onto our front (wooden) porch kind of concealed from view. Apparently someone, thinking there was a fire, some called the fire department and they came roaring up the street.
I ran out to explain before they could axe the house down – and I thought at the very least we would be cited and fined. But these guys had a great sense of humor and started hollering things like: “Make mine rare!” It was a real hoot and we ended up making a bunch of burgers for them.

I finally perfected the grill fries that I always wanted.
my best moments in grilling were as a kid. my cousin built a brick barbeque pit for my Mom and we kids would play chase and ring-a-round-the-rosy
because we were told that it would cook faster if we kept moving!(we obviously were out of their way that way.)
I have been grilling for years, but this is the first year that I have actually not burnt the food like every other year. My family is thrilled!

My best grilling moment is the 4th of July. Our son is in the Army and for the last few years he has been overseas, the last tour was Afghanistan. He loves to grill and my dad had taught him his secret to making the perfect hamburgers. I loved seeing him at the grill this year making the secret hamburgers and knowing that he was here to stay!
My family LOVES steak! We went to my sisters house to have a barbeque together. My sister was lighting her gas grill when all of the sudden we heard this “boom”. My sister had gotten her bangs and eyebrows singed(sp?)It was scary and afterwards the best BBQ story for family gatherings.
Sunday night is usually grilling night and we invite our families for hot dog, and hambugers. One time my husbands was so involved in a conversation about foot ball he forgot about the food on the grill and boy was it burnt.
new years in 2 feet of snow..grill a’blaz’n
i am a horrible cook on the grill but recently I cooked some steaks that were awesome!!
My best memory is making smores…who knew you could do it at home without a campfire? Thanks!!!
My memory of summer fun and bbq is when my mother taught me how to bbq. Its not typical gender roles but in our family mom does the yard work and the outdoor cooking. She’s been teaching me how to grill since I was about 6 years old. My ADD has led to a number of burned steaks over the years but now I’m a master griller.

My husband can grill a mean steak, yumm!
My favorite grilling moment just happened on Memorial Day. Its always great when we can all get together, my grandmother the “matriarch” of the family, my immediate family, and my dad’s siblings (one of whom has had schizophrenia since he was young, so family events are an integral part of his well being) with their families. Cooking is always crazy, and on Memorial Day when we were done making all of the kabobs from the big family assembly line table we had set up, we put everything that was left over (some shrimp, chicken, little cut up pieces of steak and some veggies and pineapple) into a big metal thing with holes in it (see how far my grilling knowledge goes?) and dumped marinade and spices onto it. Wouldn’t you know it–best thing I have ever had off the grill!
The most memorable, is when my husband had to buy this huge charcoal grill, the lid was really heavy and I am short. I would try to hold it, but normally I would get it so far and I would be over the coals, and it would sorta bounce. Well, one day I had marinated a bunch of chicken and went to check on them and I lifted the lid, it was super hot and I let go of the lid and over it went with all the chicken, charcoal and all! That was the last time we used that grill.
DH wanted a big fancy shmancy grill, so one day out on the patio, there it was. So excited was he that he lit it up, put on some steaks when we smelled a horrible smell. It kept getting worse. We sat down to eat and couldn’t because the smell was in the food, but it wasn’t the food. As it turned out there was a removable instructional laminate on the inside of the cover, but DH did not know to remove it and it melted into the stainless steel never to be removed. After a few lightings and airings out, the smell finally left the grill.
We like to grill every Sunday after church.
My father was a man of the grill, meat all the way, but all of my daughters are vegetarian so we grill vegies
My best grilling moment was the one and only time my son had invited a high school friend over the night I was grilling. His friend loved ribs, so that was what I was making, when all of a sudden for some reason, the flames took over the ribs until they were unrecognizable…I mean charred totally black, and inedible! We had to order a pizza that night!
My favorite grill moment was grilling corn, peppers and onions in aluminum foil. Yummy!
I will always have memories of our family Sunday grill dinners from when I was a kid!
I remember the first time I cooked on the grill~I made chicken wings and they were burnt to a crisp but everyone ate them as they didn’t want to hurt my feelings..
Thanks for the chance

My best grilling moment was surrounded by a hungry group of girl scouts cooking plain old hot dogs wrapped in crescent rolls. Umm good!

I’d have to say my best “Grilling Moment!” was waaay back “in the day” when I first figured out that I could marinate meat in a zip-lock baggie AND use a minimum of marinade as long as the bag gets moved around every once in awhile…
Second best “…Moment!” has to be when I stumbled across a “Charcoal Chimney” at some store, and realized “No more starter fluid fuel-air explosions!!”
Making ribs on 4th of july was a great grilling moment! Everyone ate a ton and we got compliments all night!!
When I discovered that I could “grill” indoors on my ridged cast iron pan. Steak every night for a week once I figured that trick out!!
i remember my dad grilling every summer, all summer long

I am the grill master in the family. I only use charcoal or wood chips and I don’t use lighter fluid either. My favorite dishes right now are my chicken kabobs with marinated chicken, green, red, and yellow peppers, red onions, and cap the kabob off with a mushroom button. I also love grilled corn-on-the-cob with homemade butter. My secret is I don’t place my food directly over the coals!!
My best grilling moment is when I burned some of the meat. My wife took over and did a great job. Now I just sit back and eat.

Thanks for the giveaway…Our best grilling moment was during a trip to Mexico when were camping at a beach on the Sea of Cortez; it was springtime just before it gets very humid down there…anyway, we grilled up some beef tenderloin one evening using the only thing we had on hand as a marinade, cheap Mexican beer & limes. I don’t know if it was the cooking method, the marinade, or the star filled sky that evening on the beach but it was the best beef I ever tasted….or maybe it was just the beer !!!
My best grilling moment was in Destin, FL on vacation – the hotel we stayed at had some outdoor grills and we had the most delicious filets and grilled shrimp along with some grilled corn on the cob! After a day in the ocean we were ravenous and it all tasted divine.
This is for hubby. The last time he grilled out was July 2, it was SO good, the kids ate the meat, and they NEVER eat meat! Hubb’s hobby is cooking and he loves to grill out. He’s been laid off work and it sure would lift his spirits if this showed up at our door!
My favorite grilling moments have all occurred on the 4th of July, and my particular favorite was the time when I was around six and first old enough to appreciate surprises, that my mom and dad made a special treat for the partygoers: banana boats, in which they filled a sliced banana with chocolate and marshmallows, wrapped them in foil, put them on the grill, and made us a delicious and unexpected treat. Ever since then banana boats became a family tradition at cookouts, one that holds 25 years later. Thanks for the giveaway!

My son in law has a funny little ritual when it comes to bar b queuing corn. He has to set things up just right, measure things out, everything has to be just right. In the end though it always turns out really great so its worth all the time and effort.

It was in 2004. We just move to Florida and tropical storm jennie came thur and we lose power for 4 days. We use the grill so much, we even made a pizza on it.
my best grilling memory was arriving at a july 4th celebration in 2004 my cousin attempted to cook on a new grill flames were about 10 feet high everything was really burnt but he was smiling and so proud of his burnt work we scraped off as much burnt stuff as possible and ate it… WHEW
Hubby has totally banned me from using the grill. No matter what I cook it catches on fire and burns to a crisp. The last steak I grilled looked like a piece of coal and tasted like burnt tar..eww! But my hubby has the “gift”, he is our grill master. I don’t know how he does it, but he can turn a cheap piece of meat into a melt-in-your mouth great meal. He really deserves to be rewarded for his awesome grilling!
I don’t grill, I leave it up to my husband. Which probably is not a good idea lol, he lost his beard, mustach and most of his eyebrows last summer! But when he does manage not to burn his face off, it is amazing! His BBQ is my favorite, and he loves doing it! Thanks for the great giveaway!

The last time I grilled, I had to run in the house to get the seasoning salt, and my golden retriever helped himself to the steaks I had just put on the grill!
I was grilling outside the first apartment my wife and I shared. We were on the ground floor of the complex, and it was sprinkling outside. So I moved the grill under the upstairs apartment balcony. The grill would not light originally, so I gave it a few seconds, used a match, and *boom* – a fireball threw me into the bushes. All of my facial hair was singed, and my wife could not stop laughing at me for the next two weeks.
We love grilled zucchini and mushrooms brushed w/ olive oil on the grill. we did some haddock last night too. Everything is better on the grill. except when my dad BBQ’d ,,,everything was burnt when we were kids!
hehehee! I love the story about your husband! My boyfriend was teaching me how to grill and I fried about three good inches off the left side of my hair. He always looks on the bright side and said “baby, that’s pretty cool that you’re trying to bring back the 80′s. Cindi Lauper would love that.” Tis better to giggle than pout!
I love grilling and do it quite often in the summer. DH used to do all the grilling but he gave up on me..LOL.
I love grilled chicken..and red potatoes with onions and mushrooms in foil..YUMMM!!

My best moments are when my son first got his grill. He wanted to grill every nite, but most nites for the 1st week everything turned out chared, but eventually the Meat started to look like something you could eat. I guess practice does make perfect.
My best grilling moment.. I have so many!! We love to grill and I think my best is the day that my husband handed the tongs over and told me to take control of our new grill.. that was HUGE! I made jalapeno steak skewers and they were a giant hit! It was hard for him to relinquish control… but, it was worth it
We’re Texans.. we eat beef, we grill and even when the mosquitos are swarming and the heat index is 115, we’ll still be outside on our grill!
This giveaway quite literally has my mouth watering!!!!
When I grill baby-back ribs, I begin by rubbing the racks with yellow mustard and adding cracked black pepper and sea salt. Next rap the racks tightly in saran wrap followed by aluminum foil and place racks in a shallow pan in 275 degree oven. I slide a pan of water on the bottom rack for added tenderness. Next start the smoker and pop the top on a cold drink…put the ribs on the grill/smoker – and then at the end I baste them babies with some awesome BBQ sauce…FALL OFF THE BONE YUMMY!!

favorite grilling moment: we made grill pizza
a month ago….turned out so good….we impressed ourselves. thank you!
we live in ohio my 74 year old dad would stand in a pair of shorts in 30 degree weather in dec barbequeing some tasty prime rib cuts he picked up..snow on the ground cold outside and he would reply I just love the taste of the steaks from a hot out door grill..he marinades them in jack daniels bbq sauce..they taste really good.
my best memory is hamburgers, chicken, and hot dogs at the lake with the family on the major summer holidays. we don’t get to go it anymore and boy do i miss those days
I love when my husband cooks on the grill. He really is good at it. I also love cooking out when we go on camping trips. One recipe I got on line is a camping favorite for us. You take spam and cut it into small cubes, cut potatoes into small cubes, chop onions and place all in an aluminum pan with butter. Grill until everything is tender. Then melt cheese on top before serving. It is sooooo good!
I want to have a big cookout birthday bash for my dad and this would help.
My best grilling moment was with my friends in Dutch Harbor Alaska, we rarely had good enough weather to barbeque but one day we caught a Halibut and made Halibut Kabobs and grilled them.
I love steak on the grill and my husband can not cook! He made the t-bones like shoe leather. My best grilling moments were when I took over the grill and made the med/rare steaks that would melt in your mouth! Thanks for a great giveaway! I could really use it!
For us bbq is a regular part of our lives. Since we live in the desert we bbq year round. I like having the family outside by the outdoor table just talking and enjoying the evening while we’re cooking food.

My favorite grilling moment is my Dad cooking steaks and burgers on the grill at a family gathering, the heat is too high and he had the lid closed. When he opened the lid, smoke comes bellowing out and he’s standing there flipping burgers and steaks and you can’t see his head. I have a great photo of that moment, too. He couldn’t figure out what was so funny until he saw the photo.
I grilled a delicious london Broil on the grill last night-medium rare!!
I used to always overcook everything I put on the grill so I had my husband do the important stuff like steaks. But then he started working longer hours and coming home at different times every night. I got frustrated waiting for him to get home to cook dinner. Finally I decided to just try myself. And after watching him for so long, I used all of his techniques, and it worked! Success! Now I’m a master griller and don’t even let him near it!

My favorite grilling recipe is shish kebobs–chicken cubes, mushrooms, peppers, onion, marinated in Italian dressing and grilled until the chicken is done. Served over wild rice.
My best moment was coming up with the perfect steak for my picky husband. It was filet mignon done to perfection. It is hard to mess that up, but I have done it a few times.

I remember cooking on the grill one New Year’s Eve — I had to dump the snow off the grill to get to it! People driving by thought I was crazy.
I love grilled steak or great hamburgers. One fun grilling memory is when I hosted a family party, based on the theme of build your own burger. I sat out a ton of different items to put on the buns. My eldest daughterr was 5 at the time, and she had a ball stacking all of the lettuces, onions, tomatoes, pickles, cheese, condiments etc. on the bun. Then she bit into it and made the strangest face. Something was missing. The hamburger!
Having cookouts and charcoal grills is one of my favorite childhood memories. I’m a single parent and was SHOCKED to find out my 13 yr old son had learned to grill on a camping trip last year. Sure to have many a fun memories with him as head grill master =)

We recently had a great cookout with the family on July 4th. All enjoyed the burgers and dogs and we topped it off with fireworks later.
My best grilling moment was the first time we used a gas grill. We had just used the little $30 grills for years. We finally got a big grill (gas) on clearance for $9. A grill was just something we did not want to spend to much money on.
We made burgers and hot dogs.

My wildest BBQ memories are from when I was in college and roomed at a boarding house with an 83 year old woman. We all shared a kitchen, and she restricted our access to the kitchen to certain hours or when she was home because she locked the kitchen doors all other times (and this was in the days before everyone had a microwave or a hot plate). We had this little wide ledge just outside our windows that was about 18 inches wide, and if I wanted to cook when she was out or later at night after she went to bed (at 7:30 p.m.), then I had a system rigged where I would put charcoal into a 9×13 cast iron pan that I sat on a wide slab of a granite cutting board out on the ledge. I’d light it up and put a grill shelf from a small BBQ grill that I got at a thrift shop (just the grill shelf, not the whole grill), and we’d have burgers, hot dogs, and anything else we could cook on our little grill – including grilled cheese cooked on tin foil sheets on top of the grill shelf. When you’re young, illicit food tastes fabulous!

My most memorable grilling moment happened recently. My husband and I grilled steaks and thought we were done. We turned off the grill and went inside. We saw smoke cover our back porch and realized the grill had caught on fire and was not going out. After we pulled the grill out in to the yard and hosed our grill down the fire finally went out.

Yum! I grill a lot, 2-3 times a week in the summer and atleast once a week the rest of the year. You can find me outside with an umbrella and sometimes a flashlight cooking dinner in the rainy Seattle winter!
My husband decided to try something different on the grill and it was delicious! He grilled apricots that had a truffle in the hollowed out middle and it was drizzled in cinnamin and chocolate.

My husband left me to grilling one day and boy did I grill. I threw the steaks on the grill and thought boy this is gonna be great. 10 minutes later I realize the grill isn’t even hot, and I had forgotten to turn on the gas. Then, once I got it going, I made the fatal mistake of walking away from the grill for too long, ended up having it on too high, and burning them to char. Thus to say we had takeout that night…. and I have since never touched the grill on orders from my husband
i love grilling out with steak and shrimp. we also throw a bunch of veggie in foil and throw it on the grill…..delish!
We love to BBQ. Everything tastes so much better grilled. We had a big BBQ for my father-in-law, on Father’s Day, a few years ago. We furnished the meat and everyone that came brought a dish. My sister-in-law made him a huge Father’s Day cake. It was a nice get together for everybody. This would be nice to win, we could have another nice get-together. Thanks for having the contest!

Thank goodness I don’t have a flaming head immortalized. Actually we haven’t had too many miscues with our grilling.
Our favorite marinade is a combination of olive oil, soy sauce and lemon juice. Let the steaks or chicken marinade for an hour or two then grill and they are so good.

My best grilling moment came two months ago when I followed my recipe for chicken fajitas from Martha Stewart Magazine and my husband said they weren’t as good as the ones I normally make. Since then, he’s requested I make mine, on the grill once every two weeks!
My best grilling moment was when I was with a friend of mine and we were grilling out with her boyfriend and his twin brother. They were making fun of us saying we couldn’t grill and how only men can do it. So we made steaks anyway. They tasted them and the look on their faces was priceless. Little did they know we were grilling out like twice a week.
