What is a backyard without a charcoal bbq grill?

This classic of the American home has come a long way over the years. While many opt for the more expensive gas grillers, many homeowners opt for the traditional charcoal bbq grill for their weekend barbecues.  There are three top of the line products to consider.

The gas griller is a very convenient unit but what’s the point of grilling outside if you are going to use gas? You might as well fire up your Maytag indoor oven. The results will be pretty much the same. In order to get the well loved char-grilled taste that we all know, then you have to use a charcoal bbq grill.

The Weber Company is well known for making outstanding outdoor grilling machines. This is why the One Touch Gold comes on the top of my list of personal favourites. Actually, this is the charcoal bbq grill that I use every weekend at my own home. I’ll tell you why.

The Weber charcoal bbq grill is built to stand the test of time. I’m not always nice to my outdoor equipment. Just ask my lawnmower. This outdoor grill is designed to take punishment and it is designed to be user-friendly, too. Even though it’s simple to use, I really don’t like to share this charcoal bbq grill with other cooks.

The optional rotisserie kit is a must for the serious charcoal king. Make sure that you add this to your shopping list because you can make some amazing meals with this rotisserie and it won’t take much effort. When it comes to the charcoal bbq grill, the Weber stands out among the rest.

The Weber is great for me but I know that some people might opt for something different. I also had my eye on a larger charcoal bbq grill, too. The Big Green Egg is great for the name alone. But you really might like this machine because
it has a rare design that allows you to cook without requiring a lot of attention. The Big Green Egg is ideal for those who like to use smokers.

My third pick is the Char-Griller Outlaw. I like the name of this charcoal bbq grill as much as the Big Green Egg but I really like the cooking space. If you host a lot of big grilling events, then this is the charcoal bbq grill for you. The Outlaw is also a great choice for the frugal bunch, too.

It doesn’t matter which unit you choose as long as you pick a charcoal bbq grill for your home. Gas just won’t cut it.

If you love picnics in the country side, a portable barbecue grill is a must. The free bbqs in parks just cannot do the same job. But it is not easy to select the right portable bbq. Find out what features to look for, to get a grill that you would truly enjoy.

Buying a good portable barbecue is tricky, because many of them disappoint customers with their poor performance. Since a portable grill should be lightweight they are usually small, which means that they often cook your food unevenly or even burn it. Cleaning is also an issue - some models are notoriously difficult to clean, and some are so much trouble that their owners don't use them more than once.

However, there are several models of portable gas bbqs on the market that are well-designed and don't have these problems. Here, we list some top-of-the-line models that will make you an excellent steak without any trouble.

Weber Q Gas Grill

When you think 'barbecue', Weber is usually the next thing that comes to mind. And for a good reason - Weber makes grills of excellent quality that can always cook you an exceptional meal. Weber Q grill is large for a portable - it has 280 inches of grilling area. You can take it with you on picnics and it is also suitable for small backyards. Like the larger Weber models, it provides open gas grilling - real grilling, in other words. Its lid and body are cast aluminum and it has an easy to use push button ignition. With this grill you can use a standard 14.1 ounce propane tank.

Grill-4-All Portable Grill

This grill is smaller, but it has some very impressive features. It weighs 15 pounds and gives you 190 square inches of cooking space. Made of stainless steel, it is very easy to clean and will last for years. It also heats quickly and evenly. You can use any fuel you like for this grill, because it is convertible to gas, electricity or charcoal. When not in use, you can put all the parts inside, so it is compact and easy to carry around.

Additionally, you can get a swivel boat mounting with this grill, 32 inch legs to stand it on, and a small kebab rotisserie system.

Weber Smokey Joe Gold

This portable charcoal grill is a smaller version of the Weber Kettle Grill. It has a porcelain-enameled bowl and lid and will last for a long time. It provides you with enough space to grill six burgers at once. This unit also has a locking lid, so you can carry it easily or lock the lid on the side of the grill as a wind shield.

There are two bitter ironies in the culinary/social year; Christmas and party dresses, and barbeque season and bikinis. Why are we surrounded by invitations to eating and drinking festivals at the two times of the year when we want to look good in smaller amounts of clothing? Well there isn't much we can do about it; what's the point in being super slim and gorgeous and sat at home on your own?

If you go to a barbecue this weekend, you may eat a serving of potato salad, a grilled burger, 2 sausages in a bun, a tablespoon of Helmans Mayonnaise, a serving of Pringles (no that doesn't mean the whole box, just a handful) a scoop of pistachios and a can of beer, you will go home with 1185 calories and 62g fat in your tummy. If you have another can of beer and a Magnum ice cream the number soars to 1600 calories (78.5g fat).

Woops!

You can see how it starts to add up. I don't know about you, but I have seen people eat considerably more hot dogs and drink rather more beer than that; the average US barbeque would total 2260 calories, 126 grams of fat, and 109 grams sugar. That is more than a whole days calories at one sitting. Big woops!

However, if you ignore all of the health warnings associated with incinerating your dinner outside, the barbecue can be a much healthier affair;

Ignore ready prepared marinades which can contain additives and large amounts of salt and fat, and experiment with your own; use tonnes of fresh herbs, garlic, chili, olive oil, honey and lemon and lime juice; pound it in a pestle and mortar and coat everything in it, leaving the flavours to infuse.

Swap sausages and burgers for skewers of prawns, mackerel baked in tin foil, skinless free-range chicken breasts, or lean steaks. Make vegetable and tofu kebabs with big chunks of mushroom, onion, tomatoes, courgette and pepper (fry the tofu a little first).

Swap bowls of crisps and snacks for dips; homemade hummus or natural yoghurt mixed with finely chopped onions, cucumber, chives and salt and pepper, and serve with strips of pita, carrot, pepper, celery and cucumber sticks. Make a scrummy salsa to add to fish, meats or use as a dip by finely chopping red onion, tomatoes, coriander, garlic and fresh chili, and dress with lime juice.

Ditch the pale and pasty burger buns and rolls for pita, tortilla wraps, (go for organic as many others contain hydrogenated fats) granary rolls, or just leave them out; there is no law saying you have to wrap everything in bread.

Make a potato salad swapping mayo for natural yoghurt (no-one will notice if you season with salt and pepper and chop in some onion, garlic and herbs). Try my scrummy fat-burning coleslaw; cut up red cabbage, red or spring onions, chunks of apple, grated carrot, avocado, baby spinach leaves, chopped chives and mix up with low-fat natural yoghurt (I also add chopped fresh chilli and raw garlic).

Instead of a heavy pudding make a huge fruit salad, or serve giant wedges of chilled watermelon. For the kids make ice lollies out of smoothies, or slit a banana length-ways and push in 2 squares of green and blacks dark chocolate, wrap in tin foil and bake over the coals, serve with half-fat crme fraiche.

A barbecue is the perfect social occasion on a beautiful summer day; make your outdoor meal an excuse for some seriously healthy eating! Until next time, happy scoffing.

Yes, it's true, vegetarians can enjoy barbecues too! If you are a meat-eater with some vegetarian guests coming round for a barbecue, it is very easy to rustle up some tasty vegetarian food. There are also some more challenging options for the vegetarian host or the brave carnivore!Option number one for vegetarians is to cook some shop-bought veggie burgers or sausages.

If it's a 'bring your own meat' barbecue this is probably what vegetarians will bring. Now, some people hate meat substitutes, but most vegetarians quite like them, and will be quite happy with a veggie sausage, particularly with some good relish and salad in a bun.

However, there are lots of other things you can cook for vegetarians which will be a little more impressive - and more than likely the meat-eaters will like them too. Halloumi cheese is always popular, and very easy to cook. This is a firm cheese that doesn't melt when cooked, so you can slice it, or cube it and stick it on skewers, and cook over the barbecue until browned on the outside, and soft on the inside. If cooking on skewers, you could alternate cubes of halloumi with cooked new potatoes.

Grilled vegetables are another good option, as they really taste of 'barbecue'. For something slightly unusual, try brushing thick asparagus spears with olive oil and grilling for about 5 minutes, until browned in places. You can also easily grill aubergine or sweet potato slices (1-2 cm) or courgettes (halved lengthways), having coated them in olive oil and seasoning. You can also grill whole aubergines on the barbecue, having pierced them in several places with a fork. When they are soft you can scoop out the inside and spread it on some bread, or use it to make an aubergine dip.

Wrapping vegetables in foil prevents charring, so is useful if your vegetables tend to burn on the outside but are raw inside. For an authentic barbecue taste though, it is a good idea to cook for a few minutes without foil at the end, until it looks char-grilled. This is one way of cooking corn on the cob, an essential part of any barbecue for meat-eaters and vegetarians.

Lots of other vegetables, such as mushrooms, peppers and onions, work well on a barbecue, but can be quite fiddly to work with. The classic option is to thread vegetable pieces on to skewers to make vegetable kebabs. A quicker way is to use a barbecue 'wok' or grill pan (try Lakeland), which you can place on top of the barbecue and keep all your vegetable pieces together. Then you can easily cook smaller vegetables without them falling through onto the barbecue, while retaining that barbecue flavour. This is also a simple way of keeping vegetarian food separate from meat.

A good accompaniment for all your guests is to brush some slices of baguette or ciabatta with olive oil and seasoning, and grill on each side until golden brown. If you wrap a whole garlic bulb in foil and barbecue until the cloves are soft, you can squeeze the roasted garlic out of the cloves and spread it on the bread. Garlic roasted like this becomes much milder and sweeter.

For the really ambitious, why not try making your own veggie burgers? Then you can have complete control over the ingredients and will feel very satisfied with your creativity. There are loads of recipes for different kinds of veggie burgers, but typically you could use mashed beans or lentils as a base, and add any kind of cheese, chopped onions, nuts, herbs or spices for flavouring, breadcrumbs to help make it a bit more solid, and beaten egg to help bind it.

Then simply grill it! You may have to experiment to get a burger that doesn't fall apart too easily - if you are worried, start by cooking it on foil or a baking sheet, and finish up with a few minutes directly on the barbecue.

Everyone loves a barbecue, including vegetarians. Barbecues (BBQs, barbies or braais depending on where in the world you are) are almost perfect social gatherings, where you and your favourite people hang out in the fresh air, shoot the breeze and prepare to eat delicious food. Any occasion can be celebrated with a BBQ:

Major (or minor) sports events

Birthdays, wedding anniversaries, home comings, going away

The fact that it's Friday or Saturday, or Sunday, or Monday ...

BBQ aficionados develop specialised techniques that they swear by, and won't deviate from, under any circumstances. Some incorporate marinades or spice cocktails, others will only use wood, or only charcoal, while others combine the two. Wood users can be further subdivided by the wood they choose. Hickory, maple, apple, cherry and oak are favourites as they add to the flavour of the food cooked. Conifers also contribute to the flavour, but in an undesirable way and are generally avoided.

Outside gas grills or barbecues are used quite frequently in the UK and US, but tend to be shunned by Southern Hemisphere countries (Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa). They're viewed as too easy and clean, and they don't impart the full smoky flavour that is the essence of a good braai.

The phrase, "You don't know what you're missing", is one that vegetarians hear all too often when it comes to outdoor cooking. Meat eaters think that they own the BBQ market and pity those who can't appreciate a good piece of meat fresh from the barbie. In fact, people dread inviting vegetarians to a BBQ because they don't know how to feed them. Vegetarians, meanwhile, roll their eyes and quietly go about sorting themselves out.

The truth is that you can cook anything on fire. Vegetable skewers, made from aubergines, courgettes, mushrooms and sweet peppers, are easy to make, and taste divine when barbecued. Instead of roasting veggies, take the same mix, wrap it in tinfoil and stick it on a fire for 40 minutes and you'll think you've died and gone to heaven. Even brussel sprouts, that much maligned vegetable, get a new, smoky twist that make them out of this world edible.

Experiment with marinades and spices that can be applied to vegetables as well as meats. When it comes to vegetarian barbies, your imagination is your only limit, and if you're truly stuck, try some old standbys: stick a corn cob and a couple of potatoes (sweet as well as regular) on the grill. Your veggie guests will appreciate the effort.

Braais needn't only be reserved for main meals and savoury dishes. Grilled pineapple and brown sugar is delicious, so is BBQ'd banana, you can even leave them in their skins. Serve with a little ice-cream and you're laughing. What could be easier?

For fun in the sun (and rain) you can't beat a good barbie. So raid the fridge, light a fire and tap into the good life.
