If we want to be really green, choose a veggie burger instead of meat. A 2005 study by University of Chicago researchers found that eating vegetarian fare is more effective in reducing harmful greenhouse gas emissions than replacing a gas-guzzler with a hybrid car.

Go the extra green mile and make the veggie burgers yourself from scratch. You can use lentil, chick peas, black beans or other legumes.

And with veggie burgers, you don't have to worry about the carcinogenic substances that can form when meats are grilled.

Instead of a grill - try a sun oven (http://www.sunoven.com/).

(no, I don't work for them)

I live in Texas and we have a lot of trees that lose their limbs when we get a good wind. Instead of throwing them in the trash, I save the limbs and use them for grilling instead of charcoal. No lighter fluid at all.

Use carbon neutral dry wood from your yard, not propane which has a carbon impact and unburnt propane which is worse than CO2 as a greenhouse gas.

Not electricity that may put CO2 & mercury in the air, kill birds, or leak radiation or chemicals.

Jim Stack

use a sunoven and have veggie burgers. They use 10 times less energy and 100 times less water than animal burgers.

This is all very important information, but one crucial thing is missing. While eating organic, hormone-free meat is a great way to improve your own health and to support more sustainable agriculture, eating LOCAL meat is just as important, if not more; in fact, environmentally speaking, it is the main ingredient in eating "green". The unnecessary transportation of our food is one of the main suppliers of the greenhouse gases that are wreaking havoc on our planet and furthering global warming.

So, when preparing for your BBQ, or any other meal for that matter, if you must consume meat products please consider buying local if you really want to make a difference.

Grilling Green and Your Gas Grill..
More and more, we see people becoming educated about the reduction of green house gasses and doing their little part everyday to help save our planet with everything from driving less to turning off lights. With that said, there are literally well over 100 million gas grills in use across America today. They all use fossil fuels such as propane or natural gas and they are getting fired up billions of times every year. Although gas is still one of the greenest and cleanest ways for savoring the flavor of the flame, it would be interesting to know how much the long term effects of these numbers impact our planet. We already know that the consumption of charred or burnt food due to flare-ups and over cooking on the outside can potentially produce serious ill health effects. Not to mention while under cooking it on the inside.
Sometimes the simplest solutions to a problem can simply be overlooked because they are just that, too simple. These little things can make the biggest difference in our lives and they are usually discovered by accident.
Several years ago, I set out to developed a simple little grill gadget to improve my own grilling skills with out sacrificing flavor or grilling times. And to my surprise, my efforts are not only becoming one of the hottest new grill tools to come on the market in a long time. It seems it is also becoming the greenest grill tool as well. This revolutionary new product is called GRILLTAMER and it seriously improves the performance of any gas grill. Turns out that it not only gives you control of your grill temperature; it eliminates flare-ups, makes food cook healthier, moist and more flavorful, and reduces your gas consumption by a whopping 30% or more. So if you are serious about “Grillin’ Green™ on your Gas Grill”… Go really green at: www.GRILLTAMER.com

outdoor cooking equipment

Great post but I'm disappointed more people aren't more critical. Charcoal and outdoor cooking go together; recommend using a ceramic grill which uses much less charcoal, but don't lose those smokey flavors that charcoal imbues......... and please don't cut off the fat as once again your going to be loosing flavor. AndI agree with Rosemary; eat local meats; don't go overboard on fads that require us to transport meat great distances .... and keep those temperatures up when cooking meat or you'll be disappointed; just don't burn it. Place your hand over the charcoal 3-4 seconds should be all you can stand, longer its too cool, less its too hot.

I love your blog so much, and there are just some differences with others'. Hope there will be more wonderful things in your blog. Happy every day! http://www.star-trek-dvd.com/star_trek/The_Next_Generation/index.html

ceramic grill

If your looking to cook efficiently [meaning here using the least amount of fuel possible]buy yourself the Bayou Classic Cypress series Ceramic Grill; it cooks wonderfully.

Ceramic cookers cook so well and so efficiently because of their very special insulation qualities. These grills retain heat and seal in moisture; they cook by radiating & circulating heat using the minimum of charcoal to give truly exceptional results.
