When you want to take your grilling game to the next level, who better to learn from than the very best? That's why we at BBQ Island like to highlight BBQ competition teams.

With the arrival of spring, Arizona grilling season is in full force. As you're using your grill more and more often, it's crucial to keep it clean. Why? When you leave residue from your last meal on the grates, it will char and burn the next time you light your grill — and those burned bits are actually bad for your health.

We love to spotlight what our customers have done with BBQ Island grills and supplies in their outdoor kitchens. This time, we've got one to share that's perfect for entertaining kids and families. This outdoor kitchen was built by Desert Designer and features a fun zig-zag counter that matches the patio and provides a clear view of the pool. The centerpiece of the kitchen is a Delta Heat 26-inch gas grill, but these smart homeowners also added a Big Green Egg for versatility and to prepare food for a crowd! The kitchen is also finished with our own BBQ Island 24-inch x 17-inch horizontal access door for a sleek stainless steel look throughout the island.

One of the great joys of grilling is being able to cook for a big crowd. But it can be a challenge to find recipes and techniques that are easy and delicious enough to work for a big group.
