If you dread the thought of cooking in a hot kitchen through the summer, you need to consider barbequing. You can always use an electric grill inside the house, but the best flavor and most tempting aromas result from cooking outdoors over a flame. You can choose from a charcoal or gas grill, or maybe you prefer a smoker. There are lots of BBQ tips to spice up your grilling, like sauces, rubs and marinades.
