The sun is hot, the drinks are cold, and summer is finally here! There’s no better time than now to fire up the grill for some amazing cookout meals. With so many options available for grills and smokers, we consulted local experts to see what’s the best out there. We’ve also checked out local hometown butchers for advice on different cuts of meat to suit just about any taste. So, we’ve got you covered for delicious festivities ahead. One of the biggest names in grilling is the Big Green Egg— aptly named for its recognizable shape and color. The Big Green Egg is a versatile multi-tasker that can grill, roast, smoke, bake and sear, all in one cooking unit. It comes in various sizes from mini to the 2XL and everything in between. Using 100 percent lump charcoal from natural oak and hickory, the Big Green Egg eliminates the need for propane gas or dealing with burners, power cords or pellet augers.
