Have you ever felt embarrassed when seeing all your neighbors fire up their grills for a barbecue—embarrassed because your grill is sitting uncovered, unused, and in unbelievably bad condition? That’s exactly what happened to New York Times columnist Bob Tedeschi.
Tedeschi finally decided that enough was enough, so he called in a panel of experts, including grill master Steve Raichlen, to help him “breathe life into [his] old gas grill, outfit a new charcoal grill and perhaps earn [his] barbecue bona fides.” If you have a gas grill in desperate need of a tune-up, or need help outfitting yourself with some new tools, check out Tedeschi’s story.
