Fourth of July brings out the grillers

Fourth of July continues to be a popular month for grilling. According to the Hearth, Patio and Barbecue Association, 80% of adults surveyed said they plan to host or attend a cookout on Independence Day.

"The backyard cookout is an all-American pastime and a time-honored tradition that brings family and friends together in patriotic celebration," said Leslie Wheeler, HPBA communications director. "The majority of Americans turn to outdoor cooking on the Fourth of July and throughout the warmer months because it provides a fun, easy and affordable way to create delicious meals while spending time together outdoors."
