When it comes to storied American traditions, none may be more sacred than barbecue. Recent studies indicate that nearly half of all Americans turn to their grills to make delicious meals at least once a week, even reporting that they brave frigid weather to cook up their favorite cuts.

At sporting events, holiday celebrations and family gatherings across the nation, the grill serves as a way friends and relatives can come together to enjoy great company, great food and the great outdoors.
