Summertime brings us outside to enjoy fun in the sun. There's nothing better than a picnic in a park by a lake, complete with food cooked on an outdoor grill. (Be sure to follow local park regulations in regards to grilling outdoors! We want everyone to be able to enjoy our local parks safely).
Anyone who has mastered the art of outdoor cooking has their own personal preference for a type of grill (open or closed), type of fuel used, charcoal or wood pellets. I personally prefer wood pellets, as it takes me back to my years back in Michigan cooking wild game meats over fires for traditional feasts/ceremonies. I'm convinced that the wood smoke makes everything taste better, in comparison to charcoal....but to each their own.
(Now I'm getting hungry over here)
