Many people grill on the 4th of July. Here are some grilling tips I have found helpful over the years.
Flamethrowers are not suitable substitutes for an actual grill. While quick, they tend to overcook.
If the propane tank you picked up at the gas station has a radioactive symbol on the side, use caution when lighting your grill.
The 15-second rule applies to anything that falls or rolls off the grill. You may return the item to the cooking grate in good conscience. Fire covers any mistake.
In the time it takes you to grill four whole chickens, you could have grilled sixteen chicken quarters instead.
If your hamburger has turned to ash and blown away, you have overcooked it.
It is customary to sing grilling songs while grilling. A few of my favorites are:
You Want Cheese On Your Burger?
Leftover Hot Dogs, Anyone?
Is That A Burger Or A Hockey Puck?
That’s Just Extra Flavor
Has Anyone Seen My Eyebrows
If you don’t know the lyrics, you can just repeat the title over and over. Your guests will enjoy that.
Happy grilling!
And Happy Birthday, America!
Thanks for reading and responding. You make it fun.

Will you be taking these grilling tips to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. once you assume the office? We'd love to see you cook on the Front Lawn.
Another winner, Mark. The best line for me was: Has Anyone Seen My Eyebrows?
