Grilling on the Go with EZ Grill

By JohnG

I’m sure you’ve been to some of those beautiful picnic spots along the lake or river or in the mountains. Look a little closer and, nestled in that beauty, you’ll usually find charcoal grills that are so dirty you’d be afraid to eat anything cooked on them.
That’s when the EZ Grill Disposable Instant Grill comes in handy. The EZ Grill includes everything you’ll need to grill burgers, hot dogs or other treats on picnics, while camping, at the beach, tailgating or in the backyard.

The EZ Grill is very easy to use, as I found when I fired one up for some Texas burgers. All you do is unwrap it, set the grill on the included stand or any other surface that won’t be damaged by heat, and light a starter sheet that’s packed with the charcoal.

In about 15 minutes, the flames die down and the grill is ready for use. The regular-sized grill that I tried, with a cooking surface about a 12″x10″, was just the right size for four half-pound burgers. I might have been able to squeeze a fifth one on there. For bigger meals, EZ Grill is also available in a larger party size that’s about 12″x19″.

The heat put out by the EZ Grill was on the low end by grilling standards, but still plenty hot for an outdoor meal. One grill will last for up to one-and-a-half hours of cooking. Then, it can be easily tossed or recycled after being doused with water, sand or dirt.

Besides taking these on the road, I could see keeping a few EZ Grills around the house. I live in an area where ice storms, tornadoes and even leftover pieces of hurricanes can cause some long power outages. These disposable grills would be perfect for cooking during those times.

EZ Grills are sold by major brick-and-mortar retailers and are currently available from Amazon for $12.95 for the party size. Prices for multiple packs are slightly lower on the manufacturer’s website, though tax and shipping, depending on your location, can make the final price more expensive than ordering from Amazon.

But my real test is—how did the burgers taste? All of my volunteer taste testers raved about the flavor.
Of course, I’d like to give some of the credit to the chef. But most of it goes to the EZ Grill, a convenient way to get that charcoal-grilled taste just about anywhere.

Backpacking with an EZ Grill

Backpacker's delight!  This issue won't be out until April.  It's easy to throw a grill in your backpack when hiking through the wilderness.  EZ to use and all natural.  Great idea to freeze the hot dogs before hiking and then cook them up on the portable EZ Grill.

Reads:

The EZ Grill delivers a no-fuss method for flame-cooked backcountry feasts.  The notebook-size, relatively lightweight disposable grill kit comes with oil-dipped charcoal and a stand to keep it off the ground.  It lights easily and cooks hot for about an hour - long enough to let our tester roast chicken sausages in Colorado's Indian Peaks Wilderness.  "I packed in frozen meat, and surprised my friends with a backcountry cookout," he says.  Plus, it's cheap, and you can recycle the materials.  www.ezgrill.com

Rubber Sidewalk Saves Trees and More

 I love new ideas and thought I would share a few in my blog.  What do you think of these sidewalks made of rubber??

Innovative Rubber Sidewalk Saves Trees and More

Innovative Rubber Sidewalk Saves Trees and More

by Gloria Campos via Rubbersidewalks.com

Concrete sidewalks can make a walk around the neighborhood a pleasant experience, unless the sidewalks are cracked, broken and lifted by tree roots. Then they become dangerous to walk on. Sidewalk repairs require intensive labor, money and sometimes the removal of trees and their invasive roots, but with Terrewalks trees, money and labor are saved.
Terrewalks sidewalks are a new and improved version of Rubbersidewalks which are sidewalks panels made of recycled tires, invented by Richard Valeriano and sold at Rubbersidewalks, Inc, a company founded by Lindsey Smith in 2001. Terrewalks sidealks are "made of 100% recycled tire rubber and waste plastic, and organic colorant then molded under compression". The rubber surface of this innovative sidewalk material is hard enough to walk on, but gentler on the knees then concrete. It is also hard enough to accommodate bike, skating, other vehicle traffic and durable to withstand harsh weather. It even looks like concrete.
Because Terrewalks sidewalks consist of interlocking panels they are easier to maintain then concrete sidewalks. For example, if a panel is damaged for whatever reason the panel can be removed and quickly replaced by another panel, unlike concrete, which must be completely broken up, taken away and then replaced. Initially Terrewalks is more expensive to purchase then concrete, but since it requires less repair and less maintenance, over time it is more cost effective to purchase Terrewalks.
Terrewalks allows trees to grow healthy and strong too. At two inches thick the Terrewalks panels are not as thick as traditional concrete and are not placed as far down in the ground as concrete. This give tree roots room to grow. The panels flexiblity also accommodate for root growth and because water can seep into the seams between the panels the roots wont grow thirsty either.
So, in addition to it's many benefits, saving trees, keeping tires out of the landfill, saving money, cutting down on labor, and even reducing the sound of pedestrian traffic Terrewalks has 6 LEED credits to its name. These credits included: recycled material, storm water management and reduced Heat Island Effect. For more information about Terrewalks visit the Rubbersidewalks, Inc. website.

Have a Winter BBQ

Have a Winter Barbecue

By Mara Betsch

It’s about this time every year that I curse the frigid temperatures and long for warm weather, frozen drinks, and barbecues. However, because I live in a small Manhattan apartment, I usually have to rely on others to provide the grill. But it looks like I’ve found a solution to that problem.

EZ Grills ($5–$10, depending on size; available online or in stores nationwide) are portable, mess-free charcoal grills that allow you make your grilled favorites in nearly any environment. I tried mine out on Super Bowl Sunday by placing it on the roof of my apartment. The grill lit up perfectly with just one match, and in no time my burgers (veggie, of course) and kebabs were cooked to perfection (well, slightly charred).

Plus, cleanup was quick and painless—no scrubbing or hauling a heavy grill up and down stairs. The grills are made of recyclable aluminum, with minimum packaging, so my environmental conscience didn’t feel too guilty. Though it was pretty chilly up on my roof, this grill is so small, it could easily fit on a small balcony or patio.

My grilling technique may need some work, but this summer I’ll finally be able to host my own barbecue, using some of these delicious recipes or by creating some of my own.
