Easy BBQ Accessories Makes Barbecuing a Little Easier
Posted by homebody on 06/17/09 in Real Estate
Well, I always wondered what you do if you want a permanent brick barbecue out in your yard. I thought maybe you bought a rolling one and then built around it or something. But I finally found out that the answer is one of those drop in grills!
This is such a wonderful solution because, unlike the built in barbecue I had as a child that would only accommodate charcoal briquettes, these grills have burners and use gas or propane just like you might expect. You don’t even need to leave an opening in your brick structure because you can go ahead and just get some outdoor kitchen cabinets.
It is so handy and actually encouraged now to get all this barbecue paraphernalia-it’s quite the cultural expectation any more. But I don’t know, it still seems easier to me to just broil steaks in the oven. I know, I’m a spoil-sport. But the whole bbq thing seems like it’s an event in and of itself: everyone is enjoying the outdoors and shooting the breeze, drinking beer or something.
That’s great, but for the other 363 days a year, I guess I’m just lazy. Still, when you want to use a bbq, you really need one, so you’d better get one.

This blogger’s crazy. A steak cooked in the broiler is never as good as one you grill outdoors over charcoal or a gas flame. Accept no substitutes.

Drop-in grills are great. Now that we have ours, we use it all the time. About the only time we don’t grill outdoors is when it’s raining or too cold. There’s nothing like a plate of grilled chicken.

I used to have a portable gas grill, but having a drop-in grill in a BBQ island is much more convenient. You get lots of counter space for your marinating dishes and cooking tools.

Now that I have a grill island in my backyard, I can’t live without it. Even when we don’t have company, I love cooking dinner over it. I’ve gotten good at grilling everything, including stuff like slices of eggplant or zucchini slices.

Given a choice between gas or charcoal for grilling, give me gas every time. Charcoal is a pain in the neck because you have to wait so long for the coals to get just right. With gas, you just turn a knob, and whoosh, you have flames.
