May 5, 2008\u00a0 <\/span>HousingZone<\/p>\nReigniting their thrill for the grill, consumers are heading outside to enjoy mouthwatering grilled meals this May for National Barbecue Month (NBM) and all summer long. As revealed in the Hearth, Patio & Barbecue Association\u2019s (HPBA) national consumer poll, three in four consumers (76 percent) prefer to cook outside on the grill than indoors on the stove, when entertaining during the warmer months.<\/p>\n
The delicious tastes and savory aromas from the grill, combined with the enjoyment of warmer weather and the casual atmosphere of the great outdoors, will have consumers firing up the grill for delicious meals throughout the peak grilling season.Throughout the warmer months, and really all year long, consumers love to take their meals outside to prepare on the grill, said Leslie Wheeler, HPBA Communications Director.<\/p>\n
From pizzas and quesadillas, to veggies, meats and even biscuits, the possibilities are endless for breakfast, lunch, dinner or even dessert. State-of-the-art and out-of-this world grills and accessories are more innovative and advanced than ever before to meet every outdoor chef.<\/p>\n
