This Spring, Grill With Wood Like Your Ancestors Did — And Also Get Some Smart Tech In There
From cocktails to vegan dinners, woodfire will take your food to a completely unprecedented place.
While you’re used to charcoal grills, charcoal isn’t the only burning hot fuel on the block. The OG cooking method for us humans was over wood — and wood grilling is making a comeback. And though scrumptious, we’re not just talking s’mores and potatoes. We’re talking about a reverse seared NY strip steak, grilled sriracha salmon, and so much more.
A return to the basics of cooking with wood means that modern grills can give you much more than hot dogs and burgers. Traeger Grills, famous for its smart wood pellet grills, actually hosts a litany of recipes, including the obvious paleo variant, but also recipes that are vegan, vegetarian, or just overall healthy. And yeah, fine, here’s the list of wood burning grill-sourced cocktails you’re definitely most interested in. If you want to add some excitement into your spring and summer grilling adventures, consider wood. To help, we put together a list of some best selling grills.
