I would add clips to keep the tablecloth from blowing away. And aluminum foil to clean the grates and pack up leftovers
My husband BBQs AMAZING chicken. I call it Frank’s World Famous Chicken. So I have to add to my list: chicken, Chakkas’s Mmm Sauce (the base of the marinade), beer, garlic, and onion.
We love to have Summer BBQ’s! Its great to get out in the nice weather and enjoy it with friends and family. This list is great!!! I think it has everything on it to enjoy a great day of BBQing.
Love the list. I had never seen a list for grilling before. I also would have never thought of wet wipes but it makes perfect sense to have a tub or box of it right on hand. Of course a cooler full of ice and drinks goes hand in hand with grilling. I am lucky to live in Miami where we can grill just about all year long. We used to years ago when I was in high school. Mom down sized to a smaller house and got a George Foremen grill a small one for the kitchen counter. Exactly that this not a grill. Now that i am back in Miami and back at home it will be great to have some bbq’s again like we used to. Every time we have corn or ribs I am like which we had a grill again.
Football season is coming up and I love to ‘homegate’ and have all my friends&family make it to my house for the game.
summer birthdays = grilling every weekend
Such a good point, that is the worst.
to this list i would add grilled corn on the cob as well as potato salad and baked beans with bacon…
My sweet tooth says this list is missing ingredients for s’mores on the grill and a beverage to complete the meal. A list is great to have as a reminder of the things you will need so you don’t forget them.
My brother and I grilled some yummy lamb and steaks last night! Enjoying the last few weeks of summer grilling!!!
I would add sunhat and sunglasses to the list. I’ve forgotten these before when going to a beach BBQ and I was soooo hot and had to squint the whole time. It was very annoying.
Never thought of that, have to consider it.
Great idea.
I would add strawberries and bananas to smores to make them like banana splits Rosanne
I would add a spray bottle of water to the list for those out of control flames.
It’s a good idea to keep a bulk-sized box of baking soda near the grill in case of grease fire.
I need a list because I always forget something I need. Also need the grill as ours broke this year.
I need the list because I always forget something.I can take it shopping too. I am adding ribs to the list. Yummy.
I would add Brauts to that list!
i would add pineapples and peaches to the list of the menu; grilled makes them more flavorful!
It would be nice to have a list because then I wouldn’t have to keep going in/out of my house while grilling. Thanks for the chance.
awesome grill! thanks for the chance
I WOULD LIKE WIN GRILL LIKE THIS
I never had a grill this one would be great
It’s been a few years since I’ve had a working grill. This one would be nice, and I would be cooking burgers and steaks again!
I would add nice furniture to let your guests sit comfortably.
My family and I love to grill. We would put this to good use. Our others is a klunker. I really like to grill brats and my family likes hamburgers.
Heather Jones Miller refered me
I SOOO need a new grill. Mine rusted through. With a new grill I would be able to make different healthier recipes
what a awesome giveaway,been sharing.I would so scream if i won a nice grill always wanted one.Good luck and Thank you for the awesome chance
This list really helps, because I always forget
something stupid on occasions like a BBQ–I never
forget my appetite, though! LOL Of course, if
certain relatives are doing the cooking, you might need to add TUMS to the list!
What a lovely giveaway! Thank-you for having the best Kosher recipes around.
Totally need a new BBQ, ours broke and we live grilling outside all summer long. Unfortunately we haven’t been able to BBQ or have friends over for bbqs bc we don’t have one now!
Summer is for grilling
I would like to win because I don’t have a grill this year. My old grill died on my.
would love to bbq with my family every sunday evening like i had growing up!
Drinking straws need to be added to the checklist.
I invariably forget something or the other when I have a bbq party, and have to send someone out for last minute purchases which really stresses everyone out. I am going to print this list out and affix it to my fridge for my benefit. Great idea!
Would love to win this for my children!
I love having everyone over for good old fashioned barbque!
Whatever it is that you’re grilling, grilling it brings out the best flavors in your food. Don’t forget to grill the vegis along with your meat or chicken (or fish).
I’ve never been the person who did the grilling until I started taking care of my daughter who has RA. I have come to appreciate a really good grill would make it so much easier. When you’re 84 easier means everything!
I would add fruit to the list…pineapple, mangos, n such are great on the grill and dessert is taken care of!
My grill is so old! Would love this new one, thanks!
On my weekends off, we grill and use the smoker everyday, often twice a day. I always get at least a small burn on my hand or arm. Burn Gel Plus definitely needs to be on my Summer BBQ Checklist.
So look forward to learning how to grill and trying out a trillion new recipes. Thanks!
looks great
What a phenomenal giveaway, and such a helpful list! Thanks!
I’d add in some of those insect repellant candles
Perhaps this grill will convert my husband to become the man-griller!!!!!!!
