For many folks, celebrating the weekend during summer means having a family barbecue. After all, what better way to celebrate the summer than with food: lots and lots of food? I think we can all agree that the barbecue grill, as wonderful a cooking tool it may be, does have its limitations. As in, the grill grates that are responsible for those beautiful marks across your steak tend to let smaller foods fall through the gaps and into the burning flames below.
While some folks would just shrug off the shrimp that fell through the cracks with a sip of beer, others come up with solutions, and the result is the griddle. Assuming you aren’t familiar with what a griddle is, it’s a smooth, flat surface with a heat source underneath, which makes it similar to a hotplate.
The difference between a hotplate and a griddle is that the former is round while the latter is rectangular in shape. While you could get the same thing with a skillet, because of its large surface area, griddles are the ideal option if you’re cooking for a crowd.
If you love those summer barbecues in the backyard, but haven’t invested in this nifty piece of equipment, then you are seriously missing out. Keeping the importance of a griddle in mind, here we are going to review the Blackstone 28” Griddle to find out if it’s worth the investment.

While the larger Blackstone 36” griddle is the preferred choice for those who are cooking for large crowds or the extended family, the smaller Blackstone 28” griddle has a lot going for it too.

These vibrant and fragrant beauties not only attract pollinators but also complement each other in color, height, and texture, creating a visually stunning display.
The review bus has ambled down the lane and I'm delighted I'm the next stop on the blog tour for Jean Vernon's latest book Attracting Garden Pollinators. It's great to have a volume which covers all kinds of insect pollinators — as well as bees — as the importance of many of them is often overlooked for our gardens.In the opening chapters stuffed with fascinating insights we find: without wasps we wouldn't have any bees (they evolved from them); some bees nest in snail shells as well as thrushes liking to find them (the snails that is); and hoverflies are highly useful pollinators as well chomping away at those pesky aphids. Jean neatly shows how i

Pellet grills are also called pellet smokers are outdoor cooking systems that bring together elements of a gas grill, oven and charcoal smoker. The pellet grill works by using a hot rod that ignites the pellets along with a combustion fan that helps keep the fire burning. There are vents that line the interior of the firebox which creates a rounded airflow. The fan that’s placed in the pellet hopper helps maintain pressure and prevents any burn-back inside of the auger tube.
Not many things can match the joy of a warm American summer. The ideal weather, the longer days, and the perfect blend of family, friends, and food make it the most exciting time in the year.
We don’t know if science has figured out the reasons why we are so in love with barbecued, grilled, and smoked food. Maybe it’s our primitive genes that pull us towards juicy grilled meals. Irrespective of the underlying cause behind this penchant, one must have a good grill system in the house to treat one, friends, and family.
For many folks, enjoying the summer means having a barbecue in the backyard with friends and family. Most gas grills that are available today don’t cater to small families or homes that don’t have the free space to include a large gas grill.
