Outdoor grilling is an American tradition and May is National BBQ month. Everyone’s summer memories involve grilling in the backyard.  According to a survey there are three top reasons why Americans love to grill, : affordability, convenience, and great family time.

You could go out to dinner and spend on one dinner what you would spend for two perfectly grilled steaks and grilled vegetables cooked on your gas grill with the great ambience of your backyard.

Who wants to be inside once the weather turns great outside? And, no one wants to cook inside while it is hot outside. With the right gas grill or charcoal grill, you can cook your entire meal outdoors and enjoy the season to the fullest.

Best of all, outdoor grilling is a fun and relaxing way to spend time with family and friends. Grilling is social, and the more fun the grill the more fun the event.

Father's Day is just around the corner. A new grill is the perfect gift to give to dad. When you give him a new grill, you give him a fun toy, family time, and an opportunity to experiment. Owning both a gas grill and a charcoal grill gives the opportunity to cook all kinds of different things.

Prepare turkeys and roasts on the charcoal grill, or use the gas grill for other things. Gas grilling is quick and easy, but for those who really want to become a backyard chef, a charcoal grill is the preference.

Whether your choice is burgers, shrimp, or vegetables; gas grill, charcoal grill or pellet grill, take advantage of May, and spend it outside grilling.

If you are looking for a new grill to replace the one you have or to add to your repertoire of grills, contact West Sport where we have great specials on grills all through May.

Outdoor kitchens are a rapidly growing trend in an economy where people are spending more and more time entertaining in their homes rather than going out.

The most important thing in your outdoor kitchen is your cooking station. We strongly recommend purchasing the best grill you can afford even if it means cutting out a different item. You want your grill to last at least 15 years and use a 304 grade stainless steel so it won’t rust.

Single or double side burners are also a great addition. Then while you’re cooking chicken or ribs on the gas grill you can boil a pot of water for corn on the cob without going inside, leaving you able to continuously monitor your food.

Secondly, make sure that you choose good, weather-resistant cabinets that can with stand changes in the season and temperature while still protecting what’s inside of them.

Adding character to your outdoor kitchen is easy. With Pellet Grills and combination gas and charcoal grills, you can become a backyard gourmet and experiment with all types of foods and cooking styles.

The extra details in your outdoor kitchen are what make the outdoor space really spectacular. Add a fire pit, outdoor furniture in an area where family and friends can gather while you cook.

West Sport in Sudbury has plenty of grills for outdoor kitchens including built in grills as well as combination gas and charcoal grills and pellet grills. Want more information? Contact us.
