ky2here says
My biggest tip is safety first. Use freeze packs instead of ice for coolers. Do not take mayo based products because they’ll sit out in the sun and could go rancid. Don’t do deviled eggs. Plan as much ahead of time as possible. Plan grilling so everything can go on at the same time. Remember portable timers so you can time the grilling. Pack lots of little cleaning rag/washcloths (as long as they’re not nasty). You can always use more. Use jarred items like pickles and hot cauliflower etc because they’re easy to serve and this gives you more time for your guests.

Is there a good rule of thumb “timing” for cooking chicken parts on the bone to make sure they’re cook through entirely or do you suggest using a meat thermometer?

Would love a suggestion on how to cook the perfect tender chicken on the bone on the grill.

Holly S. says
Tip: To get the perfect timing on a steak’s doneness (is that a word?), touch the tip of your thumb to the tip of each finger in turn and poke the meaty area of the base of your thumb, then poke your steak. You can tell by the firmness of the steak compared the firmness of your thumb base whether it’s done to your liking. Thumb to first finger=rare, thumb to middle finger=medium-rare, thumb to ring finger=medium-well, thumb to pinky finger=well done. Thanks!

I would love some tips on keeping food at a safe temperature while tailgating for several hours! I’m always concerned about serving unsafe food after its done cooking.

Do you have any tips for making charcoal grilling go a little faster? We definitely prefer charcoal over gas but it can take sooooo long to get the coals going & ready to grill.

When we bought our grill, the grates were supposed to be seasoned cast iron. They are now super grubby and crusty. How can I clean these so that I can re-season them? Should I use a detergent?

Do you have a special blend of seasonings that go pretty much on anything you want to toss on the grill- a house blend, so to speak, that I could make up in batches and store for when it is needed?

Sherry Conrad says
What is the order the food should be cooked when you have to do at least 2 batches because you don’t have large enough grills (ie: meat, potatoes, veggies, etc- I know fruit goes last lol)

Sherry Conrad says
How do you ensure everything is done at the same time when making kabobs?
discriminating_diva at yahoo dot com
Sherry Conrad says
Finally a tip- when people offer to help, let them. It saves time, money, and sanity! If they aren’t much for cooking, let them bring the beverages, dishes, utensils, chips and other pre-made foods, etc.

Pam2424 says
Valeen, in order to use a wood grilling plank, you must first soak the plank in water. Cedar should be soaked for 2-5 hours while all other woods should be soaked for at least 6 hours. Once your grill is heated, place planks on the grill with the smooth side face down for about 5 minutes. Turn the plank over and place rough side face down on the grill. Brush oil on the plank – prevents food from sticking – and proceed to place food on plank. Grill until food is cooked thoroughly.

When tailgating, plan to arrive at least three hours early to beat out the crowd, find a good spot, and have enough time to fire up the grill.

Pam2424 says
Be sure to pack plastic trash bags when tailgating for cleanup after you’ve finished.
p_halligan@yahoo.com
Pam2424 says
Grilling isn’t just for meats. Try grilling fruits and veggies, too.
p_halligan@yahoo.com
Pam2424 says
The night before tailgating, make a list of all the items you want to take with you. Double check the list on the way out the door so you don’t leave anything behind, such as paper plates, condiments, or grilling utensils.

Put marinade in your freezer bags with your meat that way your meat marinates while it thaws, a real time saver

Remember to indent the center of your burgers before cooking so when the center plumps it makes for an even burger and not a hamburger ball

Grilled fruit is a great addition to any barbeque – add some fresh whipped cream for a quick & easy dessert
