Get an eco-friendly grill

Love grilling, but don’t like the effects your current barbecue has on the environment? Traditional grilling options, including charcoal, propane, and natural gas, do have negative consequences (regular charcoal emits toxins, and propane and natural gas are both chemical–releasing and nonrenewable). Happily, there are newer, greener options that let you have your meat and heat it, too. The latest technologies include: solar grills with retractable electric plugs for cloudy days; water powered grills; wood–burning/electrical combos with cleaner–burning, near–total combustion; and ceramic options. Another exciting “bridge” option is a plant-based ethanol disk insert that fits inside traditional barbecues in place of charcoal. Today, challenge yourself by beginning the search for a better way to grill.
