TAKE THE PARTY OUTSIDE!
PLAYING WITH FIRE • THE BACKYARD COOKOUT HAS COME A LONG WAY FROM THE DAYS OF GRILLING A FEW BURGERS. NOW IT’S AN INDISPENSABLE PART OF SUMMER LIFE—AND WITH EASY-TO-USE GAS AND ELECTRIC MODELS, SOME PEOPLE GRILL EVERY SINGLE NIGHT. WHEN CHOOSING A GRILL, CONSIDER THE AMOUNT OF SPACE YOU HAVE AND THE TYPE OF FUEL YOU WANT TO USE.

MARINADES • Use these marinades to flavor 1½ pounds boneless meat or seafood; we’ve used pork here. Thread meat onto metal or bamboo skewers; marinate meat for 3 hours or overnight in a shallow non-reactive container, and seafood for up to 1 hour. Cook on a preheated grill, turning, for 5-8 minutes or until just cooked through and tender.
