Portable Grills: Finding Your Perfect Match
Have you got your eye on one of the many different portable grills that are available on the market today?
How do you know if it’s going to be a lemon, costing you money to order new parts – or worse – tossing it and buying a new one? How do you know that it’s going to be great?
Choosing Gas or Charcoal for your Portable Grill
If you ask my father, he would confidently tell you that a “real” portable grill uses charcoal. But even he, like many expert BBQers, has turned in the coals in trade for a tank in his later years, but I’m sure if you asked him, he’d probably make up some lame excuse as to why he switched to gas.
