The Grillman Offers Early Season Grilling Hints
DATELINE: EASTON, MA APRIL 11, 2002�Just as spring blossoms are popping out earlier than usual this
year, the covers are coming off gas grills heralding an early start to the grilling season. Amber and
Jeff Tufts, of Grillman Propane, Home, Hearth, and Patio located at 613 Turnpike St. (RTE138) in Easton,
MA are ready to share their grilling tips and recipes.
Safety First
Whether you're dusting off an old grill or firing up the latest brand new model, remember to look at
your grill's instructions and conduct a leak test first. The Grillman advises that you leak test
your system even if it was delivered fully assembled. Grillman tests their grills before they leave the
shop and when they're delivered.
Also, before you go to refill your old propane tank you might want to visit www.Grillman.com to review the latest propane tank
regulations.
Start Simple
Don't start out with a fancy recipe if you're just breaking in a new grill. Learn about the
capabilities of your grill first and start out with basic hot dogs and burgers. Starting out with a
complicated recipe that turns into an overdone disaster is guaranteed to provide a frustrating
experience and discourage you from gradually experimenting with your grill.
Cook Don't Burn!
The real secret to successful grilling is the use of indirect cooking, which is also the biggest
advantage to gas grilling. Don't light the gas element directly under the food to be cooked, light
the opposite side, or the front and back elements of the grill, depending on the grill type. Keep the
lid down and you're on your way to successful grilling! To crisp, open the lid and briefly position
food over the lit portion of the grill.
A simple, but different recipe to try using indirect heat:
Drunken Chicken
Season a whole chicken as you would before baking, rubbing your favorite seasonings on the outside. Pop
open a beer can, (place) stand the beer can over the unlit portion of the grill and place the chicken
over the beer can, with the beer can filling the cavity of the chicken. Cook the chicken on indirect
heat at 350 degrees, for about an hour to an hour and a half, until a meat thermometer inserted in the
chicken breast registers 170 degrees. Remove chicken from the grill and discard the beer. The beer
steams up into the chicken providing a delicious new flavor. You could also fill an empty soup can
(label removed) with your favorite marinade and use in place of the beer when cooking the chicken.
An Outdoor Oven
Anything you can do in a toaster oven you can do outside on the grill. Place two or three pieces of
brick on the cooking grids (grill), set the temperature to low, put cookies on an insulated cookie sheet
(tin) on top of the bricks, prop open the grill about one inch, and bake as usual. Or try a pie, in a
glass pie pan, using the same method!
A Kid Pleaser
An easy desert for the kids is a gas-grilled version of a campfire favorite:
Banana Boats
Place (an equal amount of banana slices) half of a sliced banana, some chocolate chips, and marshmallows
into a piece of heavy foil formed into a boat shape (an oven proof casserole dish could also be used).
Turn the grill down to low heat, place the boat on the warming rack, and heat for about 10 to 15
minutes, until the marshmallows melt. Add a scoop of ice cream for a desert sure to please all the
kids!
For the adult "kids at heart" try a special treat:
Amaretto Pineapple
Cut a fresh pineapple into � or � inch rings, leaving the core in. Soak the slices in Amaretto, just
enough to cover, for about a week. Orange juice could also be used as an alcohol free marinade. Put the
pineapple directly on the cooking grids (on the warming tray) of a hot grill and heat for 5 minutes.
Remove the pineapple; turn the grill down to low, and lightly toast slices of pound cake or angel food
cake. Slice the pineapple into chunks, place on the cake and drizzle with the reserved marinade.
Be Daring
As you become more familiar with your grill, don't be afraid to experiment! Use the techniques
outlined above and enjoy the pleasures of outdoor grilling for an extra long grilling season. Stop by
Grillman for all of your grilling needs, including a variety of utensils, sauces, rubs, and flavored
wood chips to enhance your new grilling techniques.
