Grilling Tips

Just when you think you have everything covered for your long weekend celebration, you run out of gas for the grill! Be sure to follow basic Memorial Day grilling tips to make sure the party goes off without a hitch. Propane and Charcoal: One of the most important Memorial Day grilling tips is to be sure that you have enough propane in the grill gas tank. Imagine having a crowd of guests in your home, food on the grill, and then discovering that you have an empty propane tank, and can't cook the meal! Scout out your local refill station ahead of time just in case. If you're using a charcoal grill, stock up on extra charcoal bricks and matches.

Grilling Tools: When cooking your Memorial Day grilling recipes, be sure to have the appropriate grilling tools. Purchase skewers for kabobs and for cooking gooey marshmallows for smores. Other key tools include a spatula, fork, tongs and basting brush. If you plan to serve corn, have corn holders available for guests. Cleaning tools, such as brass or steel brushes, are perfect for scraping charred food off of the grill.
