Barbecuing and grilling are a great way to make healthy, delicious food and have fun with family and friends in the process.

This favorite family activity has traditionally been limited to the warm summer months. But now barbecuing is becoming a year-round phenomenon, regardless of the climate you live in. Recipes range from simple, quick marinades to more elaborate dishes for the home gourmet.

This growing trend doesn’t stop with grilling, though. Outdoor living and entertaining in all forms is becoming a lifestyle unto itself. From camping stoves to complete outdoor kitchens, sleeping bags to elegant outdoor furnishings, tents to elaborate gazebos, and flashlights to modern solar outdoor lighting.

But first things first. There is a huge range of grills available with wide choices in price and functionality. Among the many popular brands are Weber, Coleman, Char-Broil and Brinkmann.
