Bear. That's my screenname. It might seem like a strange screen name for a girl, but not for me. Because bears love meat. (Just ask Stephen Colbert.)
And so do I. Particularly when it's grilled or smoked to that perfect degree of tongue-tantalizing tenderness. To pay homage to the grill gods of summer and satisfy my carnivorous cravings, we decided to collect the top 5 grills on the Hive for you to consider. Who knows? Maybe you'll be able to convert some vegans with the siren song of your smoke.Or maybe not. But you can enjoy the meat. I know I sure will.Mmm. Meat.
#1 La Caja China (The Chinese Box)
Recommended by grilling enthusiasts everywhere and even publications like The Washington Post, this is your go-to choice if you're serious about great meat. In under four hours, you can reduce an entire pig to a mass of tender meat and crackling skin, ready for your guests to devour. Sign me up! Where In The Hive: bookmark/177786
#2 Weber 2820 Smokey Mountain Cooker/Smoker
If you don't have the space to use La Caja China, try the Weber 2820. I used one last weekend to throw a birthday party for a friend and I can honestly say that it made some of the richest, smokiest, most tender ribs I've ever had. 125 Amazon customer ratings agree: it's one of the best you can buy (and on sale)!Where In The Hive: bookmark/177735#3 The Kamado
This incredibly beautiful Kamado grill can be configured in a multitude of sizes, glazes and heating options, from gas to electric to charcoal. It can be used as a grill, smoker, or oven and uses the natural insulative properties of its heavy ceramic walls to seal moisture and flavor into whatever you choose to grill. Just think of how the Joneses will feel when they look over the fence and see it in action.Where In The Hive: bookmark/72919
#4 Outdoor Artisan Pizza Oven
This stone-lined outdoor pizza has a heat transfer rate that exceeds that of natural stone, you're sure to get that nice crispy crust you've been dreaming about. The integrated smoking drawer will alsosave you the hassle of hiking into the hills and chopping down trees. Bonus!Where In The Hive: bookmark/34690
#5 Apollo Charcoal Grill
We know far too many people who have spent their summers eyebrowless because of lighter fluid accidents. Don't be one of them! This charcoal grill features a trademarked air feed system for lighting with newspapers, sans dangerous fire accelerants. We also love that it has direct and indirect heat zones, allowing you to choose the intensity and speed at which each item on the grill cooks.Where In The Hive: bookmark/8574The only kind of grill I refuse to consider.What's your can't-fail recipe for a great summer barbecue?
