If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, especially over the last summer, you’ve probably gotten the impression that I have a low opinion of gas grills.  You would be incorrect.  I love gas grills, I simply refuse to call them “barbecues”, because they are not, and cannot be used to properly barbecue anything.

Rather, I consider gas grills to be the ultimate in outdoor cooktops.  They’re perfect for a quick grill job or for sauteing onions in my favorite stainless steel skillet.  They are wonderful for getting a good sear on a piece of meat, or cranking out great grilled desserts, especially in situations where the taste or smell of wood smoke would detract from the overall experience. In a nutshell, they are an integral part of any well stocked outdoor kitchen, I just have no intention of actually barbecuing anything in one.  For that I’ve got my smoker grill, and that, ladies and gents, is WOOD powered.

There are those gas grills that are simply more than drool-worthy.  For my money those come with names like Napoleon Grills.  If you’ve been considering getting a top-end outdoor grill or just need some grill parts, iBuyBarbeques.com may just be the place you want to check out for your next purchase. The prices may seem high at first glance, but trust me peeps, you’re not gonna get these monsters at the local BigScaryMegaMart.  These are quality outdoor toys.

The same people that bring you these barbecue grills and Napoleon Grills is also running a contest that could net you up to $400.00! (Just click the link at the beginning of this paragraph for details).  Will I be netering?  No.  Nothing I’ve made this year would translate easily to a non-smoke environment.  I suppose I could modify my brisket recipe to work with a much smaller brisket, but then I would have become a hypocrite, since the only way I’ll eat brisket is corned and boiled or smoked. (No sauce, please!)

Check out the contest, win yourself a few duckets, and put a hefty down payment on a great gas grill.  Or hey, use the money for the Holidays.  but if you entered because of this post, let me know, would you!  I’d love to see if you got the prize or not.
