It's the Right Time to Get Your Backyard Grill - March Madness Continues!

Because of our Dry Season, the weather is mostly sunny during Easter time and continuing for several months up to June or there about, you can fully enjoy your backyard. You may have a patio and a strip of green if you live in an urban setting, or like many of us who live in a rural area, you may have a large yard with plenty of green space that allows you, your family and your friends to spread out.

An outdoor space doesn’t seem complete without a grill or two in use. Having a grill as part of your outdoor setup means less time inside the house during the Easter weekend and a chance to show off your culinary skills even if it's just for grilling hot dogs and hamburgers.

Grills come in many assorted styles, and we have several for you to consider. Gas grills and charcoal grills are the most common.

Gas grills most common require a canister of propane to be attached, but this allows these grills to be used anywhere in the backyard or even away from home. Charcoal grills use lighted charcoal briquettes to supply the heat. Gas grills allow you to control the flame better, but some people prefer the taste that comes from cooking over charcoal.

With any kind of grill, accessories are important. This includes spatulas, tongs, sauce brushes or mops, knives, grill brushes, forks and skewers. You can purchase these items separately or choose one of our convenient sets that have all the pieces you need inside.

Other accessories and supplies to consider include:

• Grill covers for protecting your grill against the elements
• Chimney starters, charcoal, and lighter fluid 
• Grill cleaning tools stiff wire brushes that keep grill grates clean of burnt food

Having some furniture and a grill in your outdoor space is a terrific start. However, you may want to consider adding some homier touches to complete the scene. Outdoor lighting is also essential because you don't want to be forced to go inside once the sun sets. Options you have here include landscape and deck lights, decorative lights that you connect to your home, colored bulbs on strands that you hang strategically around the patio or even flood lights.
