Well it seems I've shamed my family into replacing our 20 year old outdoor bbq grill. This week Dad picked up a Char-broil stainless stell unit for $179 from Big Lots with 3 burners and a side warmer. Our previous grill hooked right up to our natural gas outlet but discovered that this one wasn't going to go as easy.

Remodelista has made it clear they are all in favor of charcoal grills which they claim provide a hotter flame and richer flavor and we couldn't agree more. However we continue to find ourselves reaching for the convenience and simplicity of gas grills that are much easier to use on a daily basis (we grill a lot).

Tiki bars are fun but the island style isn't for everyone or every house. Here are some plans to build other indoor and outdoor bars.

This woodflame grill from Gusto pumps out more than 60,000 BTU which only the buffest home BBQ's can match, and it's...wait for it...portable! Tailgating has been taken to a whole new level. No need for the pickup or travel trailer to haul your precious grill to the game. Two of these Gusto's could fit in the trunk of your Camry. Not to mention the time and mess you'll save while camping as these grills burn woodcubes which fire up your grill in two-minutes.
