There is a difference between BBQ and Grilling!

Did you know that there is a difference between BBQ and grilling? I didn’t until I read BBQ or Grilling? The Difference Revealed! by TheNHBushman. The following is a short summary of the differences, but you will really need to read his entire article for all the facts.

Grilling

When you grill, cooking times are short and the cooking happens fast. The grill is preheated, clean and lubricated. This is what most of us do every Saturday evening in the summers.

BBQ

Barbecuing temperatures are lower and cooking times are much longer (usually several hours). You often cook with wood or charcoal and the fuel usually needs to be replenished sometime during the cooking. This requires indirect heat and you might have a smoker grill that has a fire box on the side to accomplish this.

I guess I haven’t really barbequed anything yet and I would like to give it a try! The food must be pretty tasty after being cooked for hours.

Char-Griller 1224 Smokin Pro 830 Square Inch Charcoal Grill

The Char-Griller 1224 Smokin Pro is a great grill that offers up to 830 square inches of grilling space. This grill has a traditional barrel design and utilizes heat convention and circulation to cook your food. There is a main grill with 580 square inches of cooking space and a side firebox with 250 square inches of cooking space.

There is also a double bottom for durability and nonstick grill grates. You can alter the height of the grill grates as well. Included with the grill are slide-out drawers so that additional coal can be added as needed without any hassle.

Weber 2005 Model 841001 22 1/2-Inch Performer Charcoal Grill With Touch and Go Propane Ignition

Another one of my favorite smokers grills is the Weber 2005 Model 841001. Weber has always made excellent grills and this is no exception. This grill comes in three different colors: black, green and dark blue. The best part of this grill is the Touch-n-Go ignition system. This system uses liquid propane to light the charcoal with a touch of the button.

The Weber Performer is durably constructed and the bowl and lid are rust-resistant porcelain-enameled steel. Included is a thermometer to monitor cooking temperature and a storage container that can hold 20 pounds of charcoal (and keep it dry). The attached work surface is very convenient for placing all your tools, marinades and sauces. Cleaning up is easy since the grill comes with a One-Touch cleaning system - move a level and the ashes fall into a included ash pan for easy disposal. The Weber Performer has a 22 1/2 inch cooking surface and comes with a 10-year warranty for the bowl, handles, lid and One-Touch cleaning system, a 1-year warranty for the cooking grate and charcoal baskets and a 3-year warranty for the burner assembly, hose test valve and regulator. These grills are made in the USA!
