Grilling has always appealed to me, I suppose that’s true for a majority of people. I remember my dad with one of those old Weber grills, grilling burgers in the middle of January. It’s a primitive urge to fire up the Weber and grill some meat. You can almost picture yourself in animal skins around a huge fire roasting a Mastodon leg.

Weber grills seem especially male-centric to me. I believe the fact that you see grills in hardware stores and that they involve fireproof gloves just adds to the male feeling surrounding grills. You do not see Weber grills in housewares, you see them next to power tools.

You start out in your twenties, with one of those the little Weber grills that can barely handle 4 burgers at once on the patio of your apartment. You throw parties for your friends and receive compliments on your grilling. You may even find a young lady that is impressed with your budding culinary skills.

Maybe that young lady is the one and the two of you make a decision to start living together. Then you get a little more comfortable and you upgrade to one of the large kettle Webers that can easily handle a dozen chicken pieces or more. The parties grow bigger and more sophisticated, though your burgers are still a hit.

Obviously with a grill like that you need to up your game and you tentatively start looking at recipes that require actual kitchen time. You start to discover sauces and marinades and then side dishes that don’t need your Weber at all.

The next thing you know you have one of the gas fired six burner Weber’s on your deck and you can grill anything on that baby. You can roast a turkey on your Weber for Thanksgiving, or cook a ham for Christmas. If you really want to you can hard boil the eggs for Easter.

Now of course you are a grill-master and not only that, you can cook other things as well. Though you still love your Weber, you can also braise on a stove top or broil in the oven. You can make sauces and sides and casseroles and just about anything else.

Technology is a wonderful thing and you should take full advantage of it in building your man kitchen. Grills, cook-tops, ovens and even refrigerators are available to the enterprising individual who wants to cook like our forefathers did, outside in the elements as nature intended.

When you own a Weber grill you want it to last forever. You can always replace any weber grill parts or you can get the latest weber grill accessories at www.NewWeberGrillParts.com.
