I've been fortunate to have some great grillers in the family, particulaly my Dad (now deceased) and also some fabulous online barbecue friends who are so generous with outdoor cooking tips and ideas and also just to gab about barbecue and grilling.Here are some of my favorite barbecue sites online.
Grilling Web Sites
Sizzle on the Grill - CB packs the Char-Broil website with loads of great grilling information. I do some guest grill chef recipes now and then for Sizzle. Also, CB lives on a house boat - how cool is that?

Other Friends (well worth a visit though not totally grillers)
Trippin' in the Kitchen - I met Tripp Rion in New York City when he was the Weber Grill chef host at a media showcase of the new grills. He cooks inside and out, and he's funny as heck. Southern guy too. Check him out.

In Case You Were Wondering
*Note - These are not paid links or link trades. Paid links would be advertisements or sponsor links and noted. A couple of friends or companies have sent sample products over the years, but that was not considered when I made (and add to) my friends page. Some of my friends may link Barbecue Master or Yes You Can Grill; others don't. I don't ask bloggers or site owners to link my spaces. I hope to earn those honors and do appreciate when people do share my space. These are simply people and spaces that I know and enjoy, and I think you will too.
