The sights, sounds, and smells of summer are never far away when it comes time to enjoy a hot dog. The tubular treasures have the ability to transport our senses into the backyard, the ballpark, or beyond. All it takes is a little heat.

How to apply said heat to hot dogs is not the only question. Also of concern is the attention that any cooking method requires. Luckily, hot dogs require very little attention to cook. And even less with the Electric Hot Dog Turner from Sharper Image.

Most people tend to take notice when a campfire is being built. It is probably some deep evolutionary trait that our attention becomes focused in the vicinity of flames. It certainly pays off to take notice. Especially when there is food on the fire.

The scent of cooking food wafting through the air is hard to ignore, especially when it catches on the wind. Add a slight breeze to a cookout, and soon enough a crowd will start to gather. However, adding a breeze does more than just bring people out of the woodwork; the increase of oxygen can give … Read more

Backyard barbecues may be becoming more and more scare with the advancing cold weather, but when one grill shuts down, another one often fires up.

The outdoor adventure that is grilling over an open flame is one that is welcome in any season. During the spring and summer months, time spent outside is time well-spent, as warm weather encourages gathering with family and friends. When fall and winter hit, there may be less to do outside, but that doesn't mean that quality time cannot be found in the back yard. Especially when grilled food is involved.

Even though summer grilling season is fading into the sunset, there are still plenty of reasons to fire up the grill. Set for release in February 2012, the … Read more

For the truly dedicated, grilling season is never officially (or for that matter, unofficially) over. However, the decision to keep the home fires burning deep into the summer doesn't necessarily mean that heat exhaustion has faded into the sunset; things can get confusing after so many grill sessions. While the ability to discern chicken from pork (hopefully) isn't a concern when surveying the grill grate landscape, the claims to said wings and chops could get a little muddled when it all starts to blend together. That is unless you have your name on your claim.

Most people like to grill; there is something for everybody. Vegetarians can enjoy a wide variety of dishes made over an open flame. For those who limit their diets to lighter animal proteins, fish and chicken are no strangers to the grill. And of course, for the carnivore nothing beats a well-prepared, fire-licked steak. In short, fire makes things taste good no matter what you prefer. But sometimes the available area doesn't want to participate.

That doesn't always work out though, considering that sometimes space limitations trump having room for that extra burger or hot dog. As mankind has so often decided to do in these situations, often the best course of action is to look up for expanding. Even if only by a few inches.

Gathering around the outdoor grill is a time-honored tradition that occurs during warm-weather (and sometimes not-so-warm) months. As with every tradition, certain customs are upheld--whether intentional or not. Most grill sessions look remarkably similar: guests standing around a grill edging for position or trenched into lawn chairs that inhibit access to the grill surface.

Not all stationary-friendly grills are of the low-to-the-ground variety. A comfortable variation on the theme is the Snow Peak Garden Dining Table.
