How Often do you Cookout?
May is National Barbecue Month and so lets get a feel for how often you head outback to grill or smoke. I realize that if you are reading this that you probably cook outdoor often, but still it doesn't hurt to ask. Once, a few years ago I set out to cook three meals a day on the grill or smoker for a full week. Turned out that the family ended up eating more than normal, but it certainly wasn't a chore to do. I've found that once you've got the experience with a wide range of foods you really can do all the backyard cooking without a lot of extra work. Anyway, this weeks question is:
...Top 10 Charcoal Grills for 2013
There are a lot of different kinds of charcoal grills that offer many different features. I've picked the best charcoal grills from the simple kettle grill to large full functional charcoal grills that can cost well over $2,500. Pick the grill that is right for you and right for your pocket book. These grills represent the diversity of charcoal grills on the market whether you are looking for one that can smoke, one that can grill like no ones business or just let you cook up a simple meal. Updated for 2013.

Tong, Spatula, or Fork?
I've watched a lot of people cook at the grill or smoker over the years. One thing I have noticed is that most people have a favorite BBQ tool and will use it most all the time. Sometimes it might not be the most appropriate tool for the food, but people stick with it anyway. Personally I have a good pair of tongs that I use most the time. Anyway I thought I would ask what you like so this weeks question is:

Home Depot Gas Grills for 2013
The line up of Gas Grill at Home Depot for 2013 relies heavily on Weber for higher end products and Brinkmann for the lower priced grills. Prices range from $99 to $900USD in most stores with a wide selection of sizes and features. Amongst these grills you will find one with a built in smoker, a number of Char-Broil's infrared gas grills, a nearly complete selection of Weber Grills. Availability of products depends on location.

First Look: Weber Performer Silver
For 2013, Weber has revamped its Performer line adding a new model, the Performer Silver. Basically, the Silver is little more than the standard One-Touch Gold Kettle built into a cart with a fold down side table. The advantage is that it does not take up a lot of space while still offering the best feature of the Performer line, a table to set a plate on. However, the retail price on the Performer Silver is nearly $100USD more than the 22.5 One-Touch Gold at $250USD. This model does not have the gas powered charcoal ignition system that can now only be found on the Performer Platinum.
...What Cut of Lamb do you Prefer to Grill?
Traditionally spring is lamb season. While you can get lamb any time of year these days I always get hungry for a nice leg of lamb or some seared lamb chops. I know that a lot of people think lamb is difficult to cook, or claim that they don't like the flavor, but if you haven't tried lamb in a while you are just punishing yourself. So whether you love lamb or not this week's question is:
