The High-Season of Grilling

While many people think of grilling as a summertime activity, the truth is that you can grill all year round. However, there are definitely some benefits to grilling during the warmer months.

First of all, the weather is usually more cooperative. There’s nothing worse than trying to fire up the grill in the middle of a rainstorm.
Secondly, summer produce is at its peak during the months of June, July, and August. This means that you can get your hands on fresh fruits and vegetables to throw on the grill.
And last but not least, grilling just tastes better in the summertime. There’s something about the warm weather that makes grilled food even more enjoyable.
