Expand Your Menu with a Grill Burner

If you are like me then you know that the summer time is meant for grilling. That is where we cook almost every meal. And I can get a lot done thanks to a great grill with a built in grill burner. The optional burner on the side is anything but optional as far as I am concerned. It is so useful; I use it all the time.

I live down south where it gets hot in the summertime. So hot you do not want to do any cooking inside because it makes you miserable and costs you money. That huge heat source in the kitchen you call a stove can heat the house up quick, especially if you use the oven that stays hot for hours and it kills you on your air conditioning bill which is bad enough already.

Plus the kitchen is my wife’s domain, so if I want to do some cooking it is going to be in the back yard on the grill. Now nothing tops off a perfect hot dog like some nice chili, but who wants to be running back and forth from the grill to the kitchen trying to keep track of things cooking in both places.

Something is going to get burned. Sure I could have the wife do the chili in the kitchen while I handle the dogs, but every time I turn my back on her she starts adding some weird spices that she saw someone use on a cooking show, or worse, she starts improvising on her own.

That is why I like to have that pot of chili right next to me on the grill burner where I can keep an eye on it myself. And then when it is time to serve it is super convenient because everything is right there together.

People cue up and I dole out the goodness. And come on back for seconds. I just turn that burner way down and that chili will simmer there perfectly for whenever anyone is ready for the next round.

Chili is good, but what I really like is a big pot of beans. That to me is the perfect thing to go with just about anything, burgers, steak, chicken, whatever. I get the baked beans going on the grill burner, add a few of my own personal seasonings and just wait. Make sure you use a big pot because if you do it right the people will be coming back for more.

If you are spending the money to get a nice grill, definitely get one with a grill burner on the side. It will make your grilling experience even better if that is possible. You will be amazed at how often it comes in handy. I know I am.
