Green Barbecue and Bowl Games!

This time of year there are so many distractions that can cause us to forget the things that really matter. Those things are friends, family and football. The most exciting games of the year are about to be played. And for the truly dedicated, it means that barbecue season is finally here! Whether you're cooking in the comfort of your own back yard or in the parking lot of your favorite stadium there are a number of things you can do to keep it green.

This year, StalkMarket was proud to sponsor Rick Browne and his popular Barbecue America television show. And, for 2008, Rick has served as an ambassador of green grilling. Rick was kind enough to share this great article that offers 12 tips on how to reduce your impact on Mother Earth while enjoying some of the best food you've ever cooked outdoors. These include:

  • Buy local meat and veggies whenever possible
  • Cook with gas or charcoal briquettes such as those made by Lokkii that burn much more efficiently an clean than traditional briquettes
  • Use a barbecue chimney instead of toxic liquid chemical "starters" to get the fire going
  • Drink locally brewed beer
  • Use washable dishes and silverware when possible. If using disposables, make sure they are Earth friendly (StalkMarket's family of products for example)
  • Use no plastic or polystyrene -- ever

For those of you who are feeling adventurous, Rick was also provided us with a great collection of recipes you can add to your repertoire.

Enjoy your holidays and GET READY FOR FOOTBALL.
