Can't get to your charcoal grill because there's a foot of snow outside? Ran out of propane for the gas grill? Or, worse, does your apartment building disallow grills altogether? We feel your pain. Grilling is a primal human activity that many of us can't live without. Don't despair. The good news is that you can cook and enjoy most of your favorite grilled and smoked foods indoors, year round.
Think about it. Do you have a fireplace? Stick a grill grate in it! Does your oven have a broiler? That works like an upside down grill. The heat of a broiler is still intense like grill heat - it just comes from above instead of below. Even on a cold February day you can serve up Better Than Steakhouse Steaks from the broiler. Or, let's say you're craving some smoky meaty goodness. Do you have wood chips or wood shavings? Then you're all set. Set up a stovetop smoker like the Cameron and cook some smoky foods indoors. Or if you're looking for the easy way to a plate of BBQ ribs or pulled pork from your oven or crockpot, we have recipes for cooking those indoors too. There's just no reason to give up your favorite grilled and smoky flavors when you're housebound. Take the party inside! From the techniques to the equipment to the recipes, find everything you need below to enjoy grilled and barbecued food 365 days a year. To buy the best indoor grill you can, check out our searchable database here.
