Barbecue Cooking and Tailgating Guidelines
Allow food to come to room temperature before grilling. Generally speaking, this means removing it from the refrigerator 20 to 30 minutes prior to cooking.
Always preheat your grill for approximately 10 minutes prior to grilling. Preheat with the burners on high and the lid down.
As a rule, do not partially cook vegetables before grilling them. Parboiling, steaming, or microwaving produce prior to grilling will result in mushy, inferior texture.
When in doubt, use a meat thermometer. It offers the easiest and most reliable way of determining the doneness of any meat of poultry.

Grilled Pizza
Pizza Hot Off the Grill!
Pizza doesn't have to be take out or come from the oven to be delicious! For an incredibly flavorful pizza crust, and to avoid heating up the kitchen, try making pizza outdoors on the barbecue grill. A wood-burning or charcoal grill will add an extra flavor bonus, but you can use a gas grill and get delicious results. The trick is to keep the pizza rounds small and the toppings on the light side.
You may want to grill one pizza at a time until you get the hang of it, since it requires a fair amount of attention. Here are some general guidelines for making a grilled pizza:
Grilled Pizza Tips:
Make sure grill grates are clean.
Precut vegetables, pepperoni, or toppings.
Place toppings, seasonings and cheese and sauce in small dishes.
Create a work space near your grill.
Have all toppings and utensils at hand.
1. Start with about 1 pound of dough for 4 people and divide the dough into 4 portions. Form each portion into a round about 11 inches in diameter and of an even thickness.
2. Brush the bottoms of the dough round lightly with oil. Grill the dough rounds over fairly high heat (or about 4 inches above the coals) for about 1 minute or until the top of the dough puffs slightly and the bottom starts to set.
3. Flip the dough rounds over and brush each top with more oil. Sprinkle on the toppings and monitor the pizzas carefully, rotating them often over the heat so the crust doesn't burn.

How to Grill Corn on the Cob
Grilling Corn on the Cob
Grilling Sweet Corn
This is the best method to get really great tasting corn on the cob.
Husks on Method:
Peel back the husk without removing it completely from the corn cob.
The remove the thin silk that runs along the kernels of the corn. Remove excess silk with a vegetable brush or by pulling it off by hand.
Fold husk back over the corn cob. Secure husk by tying it in three places (top, center, and bottom) with kitchen twine.
Soak the corn in water for 1 to 3 hours before placing on the grill.
Place prepared corn on the grill directly over medium heat.
Cook 20 to 30 minutes, turning frequently throughout cooking time. Corn is done when it starts to steam.
When done, the husks will be charred but the corn inside the husks will be sweet and tender with a nice roasted flavor. The corn on the cob will taste great plain, but if you like add your favorite herbs, salt, pepper, or butter for added flavor.
Husks On - Alternate Method
1. Using kitchen scissors, trim excess silk from the end of the corn.
2. Soak corn in cold water for a minimum of 1 hour.
3. Before placing on grill, shake to remove excess water.
4. Grill for approximately 25 to 30 minutes, turning frequently.
5. The husk and any remaining silk is removed after grilling. Use heat resistant gloves to protect your hands. If you prefer, add salt and butter to taste.

How to Grill: The Complete Illustrated Book of Barbecue Techniques
Amazon Price: $4.96 (as of 02/11/2012)
At first I almost called this a great basic grilling book. To be honest, I think this barbecue cooking book has changed the definition of a "basic grilling book", simply because while it shows the burgers, etc. that most experienced grill cooks know, it also shows other foods that really are a natural for the grill - expanding the envelope of what really is basic. Many different foods are shown, but nothing is redundant and every subtlety in preparation is explained - giving each recipe a reason for belonging. (ie there aren't seperate recipes for hot dog, cheese dog, and chili dog because there aren't 3 different techniques involved).
The layout and format are simply outstanding - done, again, in what seems to be a "basic grilling book" format. Tons of color pictures showing various techniques. You want to know how to grill chicken breasts? Bam! It's right there. Bone-in chicken? Whole chicken? Chicken sate? Chicken wings? All there.
And for the more seasoned cook, there are new things as well. Recipes like rum-cured smoked salmon and turkey pastrami are a few non-everyday recipes that are quite excellent. And yes, I've tried many of the recipes and they've all come out quite well. In addition, there are plenty of notes and comments that will bring any cook to a higher level.
