Despite the chilly weather and even a few snowflakes, Jay and I have already used our grill a few times. Officially, Memorial Day kicks off the grilling season. Here are a few tips to help you enjoy your summer barbecues!
1. Watch for sales on meat, hot dogs, buns, chips, and condiments such as ketchup, mustard, and barbecue sauce. Stock up on the condiments now. In December, when there are no good deals on ketchup, you will be glad you did! Also you can freeze meat, hotdogs, and even buns. Buns do not last more than a couple of months, though, so don't go crazy.
2. Make your own hamburger patties. I was going to include a how-to with this post, but it was getting too lengthy. Check back in a few days for a detailed post, complete with pictures!
3. If you are looking to purchase a grill, now is the time to do it.Grills are typically on sale now and at the end of grilling season, but who wants to miss out on this season?
4. Need more propane? Take a few minutes to call harware/home improvement stores, and rental truck places and compare prices. It could save you as much as $15! Always consider refilling your tank instead of exchanging it. We got ours filled for just $15 at a rental truck place.
5. Clean your grill after each use. It will last you a lot longer!
