Grill Accessories For Easy Grilling

Grilling your food on an outdoor barbecue can be one of the easiest ways to cook food. But, without a few simple grill accessories, it can also be one of the most frustrating ways to cook food. Below are a few must-have accessories for your grill to make your backyard cookout a snap.

Grill

Of course, to grill food outdoors you need something to grill the food on. Most people would agree that a Charcoal Grill produces better-tasting food. But, a gas grill is so much more convenient. If you have a gas grill, but want some of that charcoal-grilled flavor, you can add soaked flavored wood chips to a smoker box or foil pouch with holes and sit it directly over the flames.

Fire Starter

Although charcoal grills produce incredible-tasting food, it can be a bit frustrating trying to light the coals. Most people either use easy-lighting charcoal, or douse the charcoal with lighter fluid. What you have to remember is that you have to allow time for the lighter fluid to burn off before putting your food on the grill or your food could have an unpleasant lighter fluid taste.

An easy way to eliminate lighter fluid is to use either a grill chimney or electric Charcoal Starter. A grill chimney is one grill accessory you shouldn't be without. It's a metal container which allows you to light the briquettes outside of the grill with no fluid, and then transfer the briquettes to the grill when they're ready. Another option is an electric charcoal starter, which are like big prongs you plug in and stick in with your coals while inside the grill. The electric coil heats up the coals, starting them on fire. You do need to have an electrical outlet handy, but it works pretty well.

Grill Utensils

Resist the temptation to use your indoor utensils on your grill. Why? Because the handles are usually shorter, thus forcing your hands over the flames and heat while you're turning your food items. You can usually get an inexpensive set of 3 or 4 utensils, which include a fork, spatula and tongs.

Grill Wok

Once you start using a gill wok, you'll be using it all the time. A grill wok is a large heavy-duty steel basket with holes on the bottom and sides, which sits on top of your grill grid. It's great for vegetables, shrimp, cut-up chicken, or a combination of meat and vegetables. It allows you to cook cut-up vegetables and meat without fear of the pieces falling through the grid.

Aluminum Foil

Aluminum foil is a must when you're cooking outdoors on the grill, so be sure to have plenty handy. Many outdoor cooks prepare a variety of grilled dishes using aluminum foil packets. And, aluminum foil can also be used to clean the grid. Just take a sheet of aluminum foil, crumple it into a ball and you can use it to scrape off food on the Cooking Grid. When using aluminum foil for cooking, do remember that food can stick to aluminum, so you may need to open the packets from time to time while cooking to stir the food around to prevent sticking.

Fire Extinguisher

Remember, you're cooking with fire. So, for safety sake, it's good to have a small fire extinguisher handy just in case something happens and the fire gets out of hand. It's also good to follow safety rules while cooking outdoors, which means never cook with a fire outdoors if it's really windy. And, never leave a fire unattended.

6'' lifted 2005 Tacoma good idea? or bad?

I just recently got a 2005 tacoma extended cab 4X4 (V6) and apparently my girlfriend's bronco is more manly than my truck (lol)
but anyways, im planning on getting a 6'' lift kit on it and i was just wondering if there's anyone out there that knows what im getting myself into? such as: would it suck on gas milage? would it be good for mudding? what size of tires should i get? where to get all the things i need to lift this sucker? where am i gonna get all the money to get all this stuff? haha o and is there any websites that i can buy certain things like tires and rims or even accessories like grills and headlights?

I've been around lifted 4X4's nearly all of my life and I still don't see the point. I've done plenty of off-road driving to get to fishing and camping sites, so I have some experience, too. Unless you are trailering your truck to the locale of your mudding adventure, driving it on ordinary roads, paved or gravel, is a lot more unstable than it would be without the lift. You see, lifting raises the center of gravity of the vehicle. So, when you turn a corner or swerve, you run a much higher risk of tipping and, ultimately, rolling. It seem that a lot of people think that lifting will make the truck more adept at mudding and off-roading, but I believe that those advantages are illusory. If you take a look at a lifted vehicle, you will see that the axle clearance is the same. Of even more importance is the fact that the brake lines are no farther away from obstacles than without the lift. Believe me, you never want to have to deal with a broken brake line in the wilderness. Same for your differentials. Increasing the diameter of your tires will be more helpful for this problem, however, they will cut down on gas mileage and throw off you odometer and speedometer. You will also have to deal with fender clearance.

There are many sources of the parts which you will need to do this project. I once undertook a similar modification of a Jeep. You'll find yourself buying new springs, having mounts fabricated, buying modified steering components, drag plates, relocating the mufflers -- on and on. I loved that vehicle, but once I started the work, it was always just $700 away from doing what I wanted it to. After close to $10,000, I just gave it away.

As alternatives, I'd suggest you consider (1) figuring out why the masculinity of your girlfriend's Bronco is of any concern to you, (2) finding a new girlfriend who isn't so focused on her masculinity, or (3) learning some better skills in the romance category, so that you can both bet more into each other (pun intended) and less focused on the phallic symbolism of what you drive.

Best of luck on you project -- both of them, actually.
