using a grill to cook this holiday seasonThe holidays are all about good food and great company. Whether you're hosting a Christmas dinner, a New Year's Eve party, or even a casual ugly sweater gathering, your Gas Grill can be a game-changer. Grilling not only frees up oven space for other dishes but also adds a unique twist to your menu. Plus, it’s the perfect excuse to step outside when things get a little too cozy inside. Here are some tips and recipe ideas to make your holiday grilling a hit.

Prep Your Grill

Before you start grilling, take a few minutes to make sure everything is in working order. Check that your gas tank is full—nothing ruins a meal like running out of fuel mid-cook. Also, inspect the gas connections, burners, and clean the grill grates. For more detailed maintenance tips, check out our guide on "Keeping Your AEI PGS Grill in Top Shape."

Safety First

Always grill outdoors in an open area away from buildings or flammable materials. Never use your grill indoors, even in a garage. Once your grill is set up, preheat it to the right temperature before adding your food. In colder weather, it may take a bit longer to warm up, but PGS grills typically heat up in about 10 minutes under ideal conditions. Make sure to use a food thermometer to avoid undercooked meals or foodborne illness.

Holiday Grilling Ideas

Whether you're going traditional or trying something new, your gas grill can handle it all. Here are some delicious options to try:

Appetizers

  • Martha Stewart’s grilled cheese wheel – a gooey, creative twist on a classic.
  • Grilled tomato crostini – simple, fresh, and perfect for any gathering.
  • Bacon-wrapped jalapeños stuffed with cheese and chorizo – spicy, savory, and crowd-pleasing.

Main Dishes

Pork is a holiday staple, and it pairs perfectly with the grill. Try these recipes:

  • Alton Brown’s tenderloin with adobo, lime, and cilantro – a flavorful choice.
  • Bacon-wrapped pork tenderloin – extra juicy and rich.
  • BBQ baby back ribs – smoky and fall-off-the-bone tender.
  • Grilled shrimp with garlic and herbs – a seafood favorite.
  • A simple marinade for chicken – easy to prepare and packed with flavor.

Sides

  • Grilled cabbage – a healthy alternative to sauerkraut, believed to bring good luck in the New Year.
  • Grilled asparagus – tossed with olive oil, salt, and pepper for a tasty side.
  • Mushroom skewers – perfect for snacking or serving with main dishes.

Foil Packets

Foil packets are a great way to cook multiple ingredients at once while keeping flavors locked in. They’re also a breeze to clean up after. Try:

  • Butter garlic herb steak packets – a hearty and flavorful option.
  • A breakfast foil packet for Christmas morning – eggs, bacon, and veggies all in one.

The possibilities are endless! Fire up your PGS grill and enjoy a stress-free, delicious holiday season. Don’t forget to share your creations with us on social media!
