We just bought a replacement barbecue grill and plan on trying it out this weekend, if it doesn't rain. There's only two of us and it seems such a waste to get the coals ready for just two steaks or a couple of burgers. I thought we might make some chicken and burgers to freeze and have later, but I don't know what tastes good when reheated. What do you guys make? Do you fridge it or freeze it, and how do you reheat? Thanks.

I barbeque tofu and asparagus. Zucchini and peppers are great too. Marinate them in olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, soy sauce, salt and pepper. Oh yeah, portobello mushrooms are great on the grill...same marinade for everything including the tofu. Tofu is also great with any barbeque sauce. Leftovers are wonderful. I"m not big on reheating anything. It goes back to having babies and getting used to eating food cold. I just see re-heating as taking yet more nutrition out of what was already cooked once. To me, if it was good when it was cooked; it tastes fine cold. Take pizza for instance!

Get that sucker hot and do the steaks. Then do some chicken and pork chops. Careful not to dry them out. Take the chicken off at 160, the pork at 140. Freezes well and is easily reheated in a medium powered microwave.

Generally pulled-pork, beef brisket, spare ribs and babyback ribs. The pulled pork and ribs refrigerate well and reheat in the microwave.
Unfortunately, Dave, while she said "BBQ," she meant "grilling," I think. BTW, pulled pork freezes well and is good when thawed & reheated. Dunno 'bout ribs--I've never had enough left to freeze...

Stuffed hamburgers for the grill, then. Layer some canadian bacon, your choice of cheese (blue cheese for me), and some diced green onions between two quarter pound patties. Seal up the edges of the patties and lay on the grill. Sprinkle with a bit of seasoning salt. Grill-toast some buns with a bit of olive oil and garlic brushed on the insides. When all is done, have fun. -- Dave www.davebbq.com

Seconded, especially chicken. Cold, grilled chicken breast is perfect chopped for salads or sliced thin for sandwiches.

Dave, that's an excellent idea! I've never thought of stuffing a burger before! I'd say the stuffing possibilities would be endless. Thanks for the suggestion. :~)

They're fabulous kili. Been doin'it that way for years. Hint though: If you want bacon cheddar burgers and wanna stuff 'em, pre-cook the bacon. ;-)

Oh for crying out loud.

Unfortunately, Stacia, many people in the U.S. think BBQ means smoked meat or something slathered with a sauce, rather than simply using a grill to cook a steak or whatever. I know, it's sad.

Cute. I never said "BBQ", anyway, because I'm afraid of the letter "q" with its dangerous dangly bit.

LOLOL! McQuown has a dangly bit, or at least a bit no one can pronounce!
I'd grill some beef or chicken on skewers with vegetables of your choice. Since I have no idea what is in season there I leave that up to you. You may wish to marinate the beef and/or chicken and vegetables in a mixture of olive oil and red wine or balsamic vinegar with onion, garlic, some thyme or maybe oregano. Unless you would like something 'Asian' in which case you should go with something with teriyaki and ginger, garlic and perhaps wasabi powder and warm peppers.

BBQ means meat slathered with sauce.
Barbecue, from barbacoa, means the same thing, or the process of roasting food for a long time at low heat outdoors.
Grilling means searing food over high heat outdoors (or indoors if you have one of those indoor grilltops and a killer ventilation system).

Maybe I'm missing the sarcasm, but didn't you author the subject-line of this thread?

Nonsense. BBQ is merely one of those acronyms like LOL rather than typing out Laughing Out Loud.

Means the same thing? But then wouldn't it also mean slathered with sauce? So you contradict yourself.
And by the way, I have BBQ'd many a slab of ribs without sauce but rather simply rubbed with some herbs and spices

Tell you what. You go to every place in your town that has "BBQ" anywhere on its advertisements, signs, or menus. Tell us how many don't put sauce on meat to make it.

I don't contradict myself, I expand the inclusiveness of the definition.

Herbs + spices + drippings = what?
If you don't say "sauce", you're being disingenuous.
