As the warmth of spring fills the air and the days grow longer, there is a timeless ritual that brings communities together across the nation - firing up the grill. And on the last Friday of May, we pay homage to the heart and soul of outdoor cooking with National Charcoal Grilling Day.
Origin
When Middleby Outdoor came together as one, we noticed each team had a set number of differences, but the one thing we have in common is our love for charcoal. This love for charcoal grilling has been the backbone of our company. With all the joy we have gained through charcoal grilling, we wanted to bring this joy to every backyard! Let us have a big BBQ and everyone is invited!
When
National Charcoal Day is on the last Friday of May!
The Soul of Charcoal
What sets charcoal grilling apart is the unmistakable flavor it imparts to food. The smoky, earthy essence of charcoal infuses every bite with depth and character, transforming ordinary ingredients into culinary delights. Whether it is a sizzling steak, juicy burgers, or tender vegetables, charcoal elevates the dining experience to new heights.
Versatility and Creativity
One of the joys of charcoal grilling is its versatility. From low-and-slow barbecue to high-heat searing, charcoal allows for a wide range of cooking techniques, making it suitable for everything from brisket and ribs to pizza and seafood. The only limit is your imagination, as backyard chefs experiment with rubs, marinades, and wood smoke to craft unique and delicious dishes.
