If you are a man that likes to grill out, you are not alone. Many men find grilling to be very fulfilling but so often their food is less than tasty. Here are some helpful BBQ recipes, tips, and secrets, to make your meals more palatable and hopefully get rave reviews from your family.

Fat burgers are better - you would think that buying the leanest ground beef would be the first step in making a fabulous hamburger, but you would be wrong. Dads that cook need fat to permeate the meat and make it tender. Never use less than 20 percent fat and it is fine to use regular hamburger for barbecuing. Also, don't squash your burgers on the grill when cooking. It removes vital juices.

A burger is not just a burger - there are plenty of easy BBQ recipes for hamburgers and one of the best is simple to make. Don't overwork the meat when you form the patties. Next, add pepper, salt, and onion or garlic powder. Go easy on the salt or you will dry out the meat. Cook at low heat and let burgers set after cooking. This allows the juices to recirculation.

Create better fire for your grill - when using lighter fluid, give it time to completely burn off before cooking. If not, your meat could taste funny. For improved taste, add mesquite wood, or perhaps hickory or oak. Try several kinds of wood and see which works best. Also, dads barbecuing with tinfoil need a grill that is very hot, for best results.

You need good rubs for the ribs - try using a tablespoon each of black pepper, salt, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. Throw in a half cup of brown sugar and one forth cup of paprika. Make sure the mixture is evenly rubbed on the meat. Extra rib rub should last for as long as six months when properly stored.

You don't need meat - when you can't think of new ideas for the grill, go with vegetables like zucchini or squash. Mushrooms also work well and the large portabello ones taste as good as meat when you grill them the same way. Also, try stuffed jalepeno peppers grilled in foil.

Be patient - one of the best dads BBQ secrets for grilling is patience. Don't be in a hurry to put food on the grill and use lower heat and longer cooking times. Plus, use a meat thermometer. 140 to 150 is good for medium rare. 165 should work for medium and around 170 for well done meat.

Throw caution to the wind - you might make a few mistakes but mistakes are great learning tools. Keep trying marinades until you find the perfect one, and don't give up until you get it right. Remember, remove meat from the grill when you believe it is finished. This eliminates burnt and inedible meat. If it needs more time, just replace it on the grill.
