Get ready for the big game with these tips from the professionals at Weber Grills:

1. Get a grill!

A great grill for tailgating is the Weber Q 1200. The Weber Q is an easy to transport gas grill that is perfect for traveling to tailgates or grilling right at home! Always remember to pre-heat your grill for 15 minutes. It’s easier to clean grates, provides even heat distribution, and allows food to be released easily from the grill when flipping.

2. Fuel your fun!

Whether you are on the go or at home, make sure to have plenty of fuel and grab extra propane tanks in case you need to refuel. Pick up or trade your empty propane tanks for full tanks at your local English Gardens store.

3. Accessories are a must have!

A grill brush, tongs, spatula, thermometer, and timer are great tools when grilling.  

– Grill brush: Always clean off your grates after pre-heating your grill. 

– Tongs & Spatula: It doesn’t hurt to have an extra set of tongs and spatula. 

– Thermometer: Use this to ensure the meat is grilled to the proper temperature. 

– Timer: The thermometer and timer go hand-in-hand! Timing your food will help you know when to turn it and ensure that you don’t overcook any of the food while you’re mingling with friends and family.

4. Prep for easy grilling

Prepare side dishes pre-grilling food prep the day before to make game day ten times easier for you.  Marinating and seasoning the day before takes one messy step out of your tailgate. Food will be ready to grill when it’s game time.

5. Be Safe!

Allow enough time for your grill to completely cool down so you can safely store it in your car.  Close all dampers and turn off the gas right after you’re finished grilling.
