New Barbecue Grills Are Making Family Cooks into Chefs

by Michael Wilson
It wasn’t too long ago when the average backyard barbecue was little more than Mom or Dad in an apron standing over a small kettle filled with glowing charcoal briquettes. Moreover, in those same days, backyard cookery was ordinarily limited to a few hot dogs, hamburgers and some occasional pieces of chicken. Today, thanks to both technology and the tremendous popularity of barbecue cooking, the simple backyard barbecue grill has evolved into an art form that has captured the attention of even world-renowned chefs.
The Barbecue Grill has reached maturity
The sophistication of today’s barbeque grill is a far cry from its humble backyard predecessors. For example, look at the TEC Sterling II FR Infrared Propane Gas Grill on Pedestal. Here is a cooking center that would even make Chef Emeril Lagasse proud. This pedestal-mounted gem features stainless steel infrared burners that cook with 100% infrared energy and utilize 60% less propane gas than units that use ceramic burners. Each burner is rated at 16,000 BTU. The stainless burners feature TEC’s patentedRadiant glass infrared heater panels and easy-to-clean stainless cooking grids. The TEC Sterling II FR Infrared Propane Gas Grill on Pedestal also has 512 square inches of cooking space and removable stainless inner trim panels that are easy to clean as well. It has an angled, double-walled hood design and a single access door. One or two stainless side shelves can be added to provide additional work space.
While priced for home chefs who are really into barbecue cuisine, the TEC Sterling II FR Infrared Propane Gas Grill on Pedestal doesn’t require a lot of backyard real estate, yet permits an extensive dinner to be cooked to perfection.
Other available high-end grills include the Lynx Gas Grills 36-Inch Built In Natural Gas Grill which is available in two models with and without a rotisserie; the DCS Gas Grills 36� Built In Natural Gas Grill that features ceramic radiant technology, a grease management system, a dedicated infrared rotisserie burner and 4-25,000 BTU U-shaped stainless steel burners; and the Fire Magic Echelon E790 Natural Gas Grill with 792 square inches of grilling area, multiple zone cooking, warming rack and a wood chip smoker. The numerous features of these units are too extensive for coverage here, but are thoroughly described and pictured online along with pricing information.
Barbecue fare isn’t just for summer anymore
Today, you will find barbecue grills in backyards, on patios and even on the small decks of some apartments and condominiums where permitted. BBQs are so popular that they don’t disappear when a chill hits the air. The primary reason is, of course, taste that usually can’t be readily duplicated on a kitchen range no matter how sophisticated. People in cold climates often continue to use their barbecue grills well into winter and this especially applies to the new, spacious high-end units such as the TEC Sterling II FR Infrared Propane Gas Grill on Pedestal; Lynx Gas Grills 36-Inch Built In Natural Gas Grill and the Fire Magic Echelon E790 Natural Gas Grill any of which will turn the household cook into a chef worth accolades for his or her superb culinary accomplishments year round.
