Do you know how to bbq?

Just curious, do you know how to bbq?

SallyAnneS · August 2014

I don't know how to bbq. Usually I don't mind not knowing. I grew up with the thought the bbqing is a mans job. But some days it would be nice to have a burger for lunch. Maybe I should learn. But I am afraid of creating a fire or something. And my cooking technique for any meat is 350° for 45 minutes in the oven. So I feel like I would under cook everything. (I am a terrible cook)

I just never learned and never really wanted to learn. My H is fond of saying that sandwiches taste better when someone else makes them - I feel that way about burgers and steaks. I make the sandwiches and he does the grilling. It works for us

SS: I know how to cook the meat once the grill is going, but I don't know how to turn it on and I refuse to stick my hands into a dark cabinet full of spiders to figure it out. If our grill was hooked up to the natural gas line like my parents is, I would do it all the time.

I do and I usually did back when the smoker was working. Now all we have is a cheapie propane grill and that is totally DH's territory.

I know how to grill, but I think BBQ is a whole different domain. I actually do most of the grilling.

At home, I do all of the grilling. DH is great at it, but I honestly love it. When we are camping though, DH grills. We have a charcoal grill for our camper and I hate it. I'm way too impatient.

we grill 2-3 days a week.

loveeeeee grilled chicken with BBQ sauce and grilled pineapple!

also we grill peaches and put them in bowls with vanilla ice cream- yum!

I do and I grill all the time (like PP I think of BBQ as a type of food and using a grill as grilling). DH does it some of the time, I do it other times. We usually do it at least once on the weekend and sometimes on weeknights, but we use a charcoal grill so it takes longer to prep it and I often don't have time on weeknights.

I just have to say, as a southerner, that I love all the love tits on the grilling=verb and bbq=noun comment. Our northern and Midwestern ladies be representing too. I feel so vindicated
That is all.

I'd do it 7 days a week except that DH is away 2 nights, so it's just me an 2 LOs and neither of them would eat bbq'd anything.
So we grill/BBQ 5 nights a week and occasional lunch on the weekends or his day off.

Oh, and we do it year round. My stove is used for soup/stew, pasta and eggs and the oven is used mostly for banana bread and brownies.

We do most veggies and all meat on the grill.

I picked SS. I wouldn't call myself a lean mean grilling machine, but I know enough of the basics to figure it out if I had to.

This!!! It's all me here doing the grilling (yep - up here we call it grilling and not BBQing), DH has yet to figure out how to even light the thing up! At this point I'd be more worried about him blowing himself up if he tried...

I'm shocked people don't know how to grill!

We have a gas grill - we use it at least once or twice a week in the summer and fall when it's too warm to use the oven! I'm normally doing the grilling just because I'm usually the one making dinner, but H will grill too. He usually takes over when he has a really nice cut of meat or something that he thinks I would mess up ( I miiiight have a tendency to burn things

)

And yea...BBQ is a sauce.

lyingliarlies · August 2014

Oh and my official answer is that I could but Dh has it perfected so it would be to my own detriment to try.

meglew · August 2014

DH recently taught me about grilling (like within the last month). He was usually the griller, but he has been getting home later and later from work, so by the time he would actually get home, light the grill, cook whatever was for dinner, the kids were on the verge of a breakdown and we were all starving. I prefer to let him grill when the time allows, but I do it now to save time on the weeknights.

We BBQ mostly every day during the summer. And when we redo our deck we are planning on building a winter cover for the BBQ so we don't have to dig it out of snow in the winter. I have done everything including pizza and pie on the BBQ.
