Every year on the 4th of July Americans try to out do themselves from previous years with their fireworks. This year, why not take it one step further and make 4th of July 2009 the best barbecue party you have ever had? You can begin by choosing from the top gas barbecue grills way before the 4th of July because as our independence day comes closer, all the best grills will begin to vanish from the marketplace.

Once you have your grill picked out and on order, start creating your menu. The best barbecues are usually those that have top quality home made barbecue sauce on hand. You may want to experiment with a few before the 4th of July is here to be sure that you are making your guests the best barbecue that you can. You may even want to offer them a choice on bbq sauce flavors to make their independence day a truly special occasion.

Don’t forget the side dishes, lots of fruit and of course chili or baked beans are always a necessity at a 4th of July barbecue. Remember to make things that are easy to eat outdoors while you are watching your fireworks show as well. Beverages are better served from cans or disposable cups. Since they tend to get lost in all the excitement when the sun goes down and the 4th of July fireworks show begins, you will want to be sure to have lots of extra things to drink at your independence day barbecue.

Sturdy and durable disposable dinnerware is the order of the day on the 4th of July because it will most likely be a warm summer night in your neighborhood and people will want to wander around outside. Locating a couple of highly visible trash receptacles around the grounds to help keep down on the mess is also a good idea.

Make this 4th of July 2009 the best it can be by taking the time to plan a proper get together way in advance. It is sure to be a day of independence you will remember for years to come.

25 Top Gas Grills Compared

Too often, consumers seeking a high end stainless steel gas grill are won by a manufacturer’s reputation, the look of the grill or to other factors such as recommendations from friends or family. Now, this is a fairly large investment, as appliances go, and consult an expert in the field could help in making an informed decision. A reliable gas grill specialist can help you evaluate the different characteristics found in these high-end grills and quid you the best choice for the features you prefer.

The simplest way to compare the manufacturers objectively, of course, is with a graph! Our chart compares Fire Magic, Alfresco, Kenmore Elite, Viking, DCS, Dacor, Lynx, Vintage, Weber Summit Gold D, Wolf, Altima, Turbo, ProFire, Phoenix, Tec, Solaire Infrared, Vieluxe, Lazy Man, Jenn Air, Holland , FrontGate, Capitol, Crown Verity, Ducan and Dynasty.

Some of the features in the table are:

* BTU Output: How many burners, and how many BTUs are standard?
You need to do some calculations to determine the real heat will receive their food. Ideally, you want to have over 95 BTU’s per square inch of cooking surface. How do you know? Take your total BTU’s and divide it by first cooking surface. So …. if your cooking surface is 660 square inches and the total BTU’s are BTU’s 104,000, then 104,000 divided by 660 square inches = 157 BTU’s per square inch. That would be a winner!

* Temperature range: This is a very important feature, if you like to do a variety of cuisine. You will be able to do everything from searing steaks to grill pizza with a
wide range of temperatures.

* Materials Burner can be cast stainless steel plate stainless steel, cast iron, infra-red and even cast brass, which is used in commercial settings. Dual burners allow for indirect cooking and better heat control. Cast brass or cast stainless burners are your best bet. They will last longer and are more durable. The fat tends to burn through sheet metal easily.

* Infra-red burners are an option for those seeking a well seared steak. Thinking of an infra-red cooking system? Temperatures in a system of infra-red cooking can reach up to 1600 degrees in some bars. Infra-red cooking allows for quick, high temperatures, which reduces cooking time and helps seal in juices – perfect for searing a steak. If food or blackened steaks are your taste preference – infra-red cooking is the way to go. If you plan on conventional cooking – go with a hybrid that offers infra-red burners and pattern. Tip – make sure you can convert infra-red burners back to standard for large parties.

* Rotisserie backburners are a popular option. Used to cook large pieces of meat evenly, Rotisserie use a much less heat than normal grilling. BTU ranges generally range in 13-15000 class but the best offer grills 18-28000 BTUs. Rotisserie cooked with meat are usually juice, self-basted and slow roasted. Tip – look for a model with a drip tray to make cleaning easier. Be sure to compare Rotisserie available space, especially if you want to roast a turkey or two.

* A Triple Gourmet Grill lets you use gas, infra-red and charcoal for cooking! How versatile can you get!

* A smoker box Adjustable is ideal for those who appreciate the added taste of Hickory, mesquite and other woods for its meat. It makes smoking easy. Adjustable vents allow you to control the amount of smoke flavor to provide just the right taste.
