How Often do you Cookout?

Wednesday April 30, 2008

May is National Barbecue Month and so lets get a feel for how often you head outback to grill or smoke. I realize that if you are reading this that you probably cook outdoor often, but still it doesn't hurt to ask. Once, a few years ago I set out to cook three meals a day on the grill or smoker for a full week. Turned out that the family ended up eating more than normal, but it certainly wasn't a chore to do. I've found that once you've got the experience with a wide range of foods you really can do all the backyard cooking without a lot of extra work. Anyway, this weeks question is:

POLL: How Often do you Cookout?
1) Several Times a Week
2) 2 to 3 times a week
3) Once a week
4) Few times a month
5) Once or twice a month
6) Rarely
7) Almost Never

The easier it is to cook out, the more often you will do it! It is a very healthy way of cooking (not drenched in fat). I have a Traeger Pellet Smoker, which automates the temperature of the unit, and I can turn it on and walk away without fear of fiery flareups. Happy Outdoor Cooking Month!
