I marinade my steaks for hours with worcestershire sauce and/or soy sauce with fresh pressed garlic cloves on top of them. All I can say is yum!
My tip is to let the men do the grilling! There is something so primitive about a man, meat, and fire--and they love it! So when my man is happy I am happy.

We use Smoking Chips. They give grilled beef and poultry a great flavor unlike just grilling with only the charcoal. There are many varieties of wood chips or chunks: hickory, mesquite, or pecan are our favorite. We soak a handful of chips in a bowl of water. Once charcoal is ready, we drain the chips and toss evenly over the fire. Soaking the chips prevents them from burning up too fast.
We love this marinade:
Rockin' Marinade
1/4 cup soy sauce
3T red wine vinegar
2T lemon juice
2T olive oil
3/4 t dried italian seasoning (I don't use)
1 clove garlic, crushed
1/4 t onion powder
pinch black pepper
1/4 cup italian dressing (I used fat free)
Mix together and marinate meat of choice for at least three hours. Grill as you normally would.
My husband loves to grill! As in, he grills with coat and hat in the snow. Crazy! We love to season our beef with lemon juice and garlic. Delicious!

We use apple juice in a spray bottle to keep meat moist and tender, plus gives a good flavor!

For an easy dessert on grill nights, brush watered down honey on fruit (sliced in half) and grill it. Our favorites are peaches and pineapple.

My husband does all the grilling and smoking in our house and enjoys every minute of it. I'd say one thing I've noticed him due is clean the grill with aluminum foil in a pinch.

I LOVE Mrs. Rachel's tip! LOL Let the men do the grilling!
Hubby and I are fairly new to the grilling thing (other than hotdogs and the occasional burger) but we are really seeking recipes to give our grill a workout this summer!
Tonight, I took country style pork ribs and seasoned them and put a bit of bbq sauce on them. I filled the bottom of my broiler pan about 1/2 with apple juice ..set the rack on and covered the whole thing with aluminum foil. Then I baked them at 300 for 3 hours - do not peek! Then we fired up the grill and grilled the ribs using a mixture of bbq sauce, honey, and brown sugar. Grilled just a few minutes on each side and WOW! Tender and flavorful!
I got this recipe from another blogger (Mommy's Kitchen) and all I can say is ... Mmmmmm! The tip would be to slow bake the ribs first, before bbq-ing.

Grill corn on the cob in the husk. The husk may get scorched, but the corn inside is sweet and delicious.
WE make some yummy potatoes. Take red potatoes and slice them pretty thin. Make a foil pouch and put in the potatoes, sliced onion and lots of butter. Fold the foil pouch closed and put on the coals. YUMMY!

One of my favorite grilling recipes is to soak skewers in water for about an hour to make kabobs. I thread them with chicken, pineapple, and peppers, and baste them with half cup of barbecue sauce mixed with 2 tablespoons of pineapple juice. jenmizener@gmail.com
I just found your blog! I love it-gotta hunt down that sticky chicken recipe lol-It looked good!
My grilling tip is to make sure you use different serving platters/plates for your raw meat vs. cooked meats. I'm surprised at how many people do NOT know this!! lol
thanks for the chance!

we love to wrap garlic cloves in tinfoil (drizzle with olive oil) and put on the side of the grill when we are cooking the meat. They are so soft and delicious when ready!

My only grilling tip is to spray your grill with Pam or similar spray oil before lighting to keep your food from sticking to the grill plates. Thanks for the giveaway.

Fresh pineapple slices on the grill make a great summertime treat!
My boyfriend does all the grilling- I think his tip would be to have a cold beer on hand at all times during the grilling process.
Use foil to grill veggies alongside meats - GREAT for a complete summer meal!! I also LOVE using Matchlight - it makes charcoal grilling so easy!!

I totally recommend using a grill spray. I can really tell the difference in stick-age when I don't!
I love to maridnade steak in A1 marinade, it's great!
We make burgers alot, and I always mix and egg in before I patty them up. Keeps them moist.

I marinate fish (like yellowtail or bluefin tuna) in Italian dressing (Bernstein's Restaurant Recipe is my favorite). I put the fish in marinade the night before and turn it once in the morning. Then I grill it for dinner, taking care not to overcook it - take it off the grill while it is still opaque in the center. Yum!

My grilling tip is to not watch your husband grill. I have found that to help my sanity that is the only route to go.
We are a total hunting family, and always have wild game in the freezer. The best appetizer, to me at least, is teal! Here is my recipe-
Cut duck breasts in bite size portions. Roll them in tony's seasoning. Wrap the breasts in bacon, along with cream cheese and jalapenos. Grill for about 20 minutes on low, turning constantly. - Awesome- our friends and family always want us to make this recipe!

A simple marinade that we use is Italian dressing and Worcestershire sauce for pork or chicken - it's easy and yummy!
My grilling tip to make the best grilled pizzas is to brush the grill and the flat breads with olive oil before you start to grill. It works like a charm every time! No sticking!
diane@diane-anderson.com
My hubby LOVES to grill. He has four different types of grills! He loves to marinade chicken with italian dressing overnight, then cuts a small slice down the center of each chicken breast, insert a lemon wedge and a sprig of rosemary. Very yummy!

My tip is to boil baby back ribs for an hour or so before you put them on the grill. This way they "fall off the bone" when you eat them.
effieloren(at)yahoo(dot)com
Tip: try fruit on the grill - cut peaches in half and cook open-side down, yummy!

you got to boil the brats in beer first. keep the hamburgers thin. and put the steak in a marinade the night before.

I always marinade my meats with a wet and then dry rub before grilling.
My grill tip is to let your husband do the grilling and make plenty for leftovers. Then you don't have to cook for two or three days even! :)
Blessings,

Super easy for those busy moms: Just marinade your chicken in a bowl with italian dressing poured over it. It isn't too over powering and is so cheap and quick!

We love pizza on the grill! Just use your favorite pizza recipe and instead of baking, stick it on the grill. It is so much tastier that way!

My tip: Preheat gril..Then use a folded up paper towel soaked in oil in a pair of grill tongs to oil the cooking service. Meat doesn't stick and faster cook off time!
My tip is to let my husband do the grilling - I just burn everything to a crisp on the grill!! Thanks for the giveaway!

My tip: Ladies learn how to grill. It's not just for men.LOL!
If I had to wait until my DH got home from work we would never Grill out. So a few years ago I taught myself how to grill now supper is ready from the grill when he gets home from work!
My Grilling tip would be to NEVER EVER use a fork to turn your meat on the grill ... it pokes holes in the meat and out flows the yummy juices inside ... instead use your hamburger flipper ...
What a fun contest - oh and I am the sole griller in the house ... whoop whoop!

I unfortunately don't have a grilling tip-I am supposed to stay at least 5 feet away from the grill at all times, lol. The first and only time I tried to grill I almost set myself on fire so I'm banned from it. :)
Let the guys take care of the grilling while we take a time out.

I don't grill but my husband does. He mixes soy sauce with some marinade from the store. It usually comes out AMAZING! I don't know what the soy sauce does, but it makes a huge difference!
Thanks for the giveaway,

Dip your meat in a little olive oil before it is on the grill. It prevents sticking.
I love to throw my veggies on with olive oil and season salt.

We love use korean BBQ sauce to marinade beef before grilling. They were so good!
My tip: Tenderize everything with a mallet beforehand. Yum.

We use a simple bbq sauce and marinate it for about 48 hours. I like to cook 3X as much meat as we need and then use that meat for the next two nights -- grilled chicken is great on caesar salad, or on a bed of lettuce with avocado and fresh tomatoes.

My grilling tip is to grill vidalia onions by wrapping them in foil and putting them on the grill until they are soft and sweet. They are so yummy!

My grilling tip is that I NEVER grill anything. I let DH keep that as his domain, so I get a night off and he loves being the "grill master".
kandy.kayne@hotmail.com
I like to grill almost anything, so my tip is to make sure you have a spare container of fuel -- it's never been a fun experience to run out mid-cooking.
My grilling tip is to put lots of yummy veggies from your garden in a foil packet with olive oil and spices...grill along with the meat you are grilling, and you'll have a wonderful meal!

My grilling tip is to lightly mayonnaise hot dog buns and toss them on the grill for just a couple of minutes. They are so delicious!
brlooke@yahoo.com
I've never grilled before! My dad always does it... I guess I learned from him, always watch the grill. LOL
My husband would love this for his new grill!

My grilling tip is to either refill your propane frequently or to have a spare tank. There is nothing worse than getting your steak half cooked just to run out of propane!!

My Hubs loves to grill burgers! Not sure he really has a tip, or secret recipe. He just adds spices and stuff to the meat!! however, they also turn out great!!
Pam makes a non-stick spray that is designed for high-heat. If you spray the grill rack before you start, everything just wipes off with a paper towel after it's cool. Thanks!
we put let our raw meat sit in a plate with slices of pineapple the night before. It gives the meat a more delicious flavor!

The best grilling tip I have is to use a wood smoker box and grill over wood. My favorite is pecan wood. It makes salmon in particular taste phenomenal! Chicken too.

Love grilling! We do it all year round.
I love flank steak marinated in: 1/2C soy sauce, 1/2C brown sugar, 1 clove garlic, 1 tsp dried ginger, 1/2 tsp black pepper. Marinate over night then grill to medium rare in the middle. Yum!
basic, but important tip. let the meat rest 10 minutes before cutting so the juices don't escape. nothing good about escaped juices. :)
Soak vegetables in cold water before grilling to keep them from drying out.

I don't have much in the way of grilling tips, since I've only done it once or twice. So I guess my tip would be to have an adept griller help you! :) And don't skimp on the BBQ sauce! That's my favorite part!
Thanks so much for the giveaway! We just built a deck last summer, and I look forward to having the chance to actually grill out now!

When Dh and I grill, we like to keep things a bit crazy. Our marinade is Bubba Rays BBQ sauce, Emeril Essence and any other spice I decide to throw in the mixture.
We have used it on chicken, steaks, occasionally on burgers.
I commented earlier in the month - gave a grilling tip and subscribed to the blog ... and then forgot to blog about it on my blog! So ... I completed that task today!

I love to grill...I'm not the best in the world, but I try.
When I buy chicken breasts I cut it into strips, sprinkle it with meat tenderizer and cover it in marinade...then I freeze it until it's ready to use. It seems like it marinades so much better tahn just leaving it for a few hours or overnight.

If you have time, a great way to make your grilled baked potatoes absolutely yummy is to brush the skins with olive oil and then sprinkle with sea salt. They get crispy and the kids eat 'em up.
Trader Joe's Soyaki Sauce is the best!!!
For grilling veggies (onions, mushrooms, squash slices, etc.) don't waste your time and effort putting down foil. Buy disposable aluminum grill liners! They are cheap and way easier than trying to poke holes in foil!
We love to marinate chicken breasts in Zesty Italian Dressing for 12 hours or more. We grill them up and they are so flavorful. Thanks for the awesome giveaway opportunity.

My tip is to keep your grill clean! And don't flatten your burgers on the grill with your spatula- all the juices will run out. Thanks for the giveaway!

Add an egg in with the ground beef before you patty up the burgers. Helps keep them moist inside.

I'm not a grilling expert, but I'll try! I love putting corn on the grill in tin foil with olive oil and spices. I think it's amazing!
