Cookout ideas 
Marinade - Marinade your meat for 30 minutes to 24 hours in the refrigerator before cooking.  You can use a store variety or make your own using anything acidic (like citrus) or salty.  Add your favorite flavors so they can sink in as the meat is slowly becoming more tender.  If you place the meat and marinade in a ziplock bag, it is easy to twist, flip, & squish to apply the marinade to all areas of the meat.
Corn - Place corn on the cob onto the grill while it still have the husk on it.  Turn each ear a couple times to expose all sides to the heat.  When the husk looks toasty brown, it should be ready to eat.  The husk will keep the corn hot while you finish getting the meal on the table.  It also a lot easier to remove the husk & silk after it is cooked.
Double duty - Here it something I do a lot.  Make those coals do double-duty and save yourself some time tomorrow.  After cooking your meal, put tomorrow's meat on the grill to slow cook while you are eating.  Refrigerate and warm up the next day - grilled taste without the extra fuss!
Foil Pockets - Wrap a single serving of meat, vegetables, and potato in foil and fold in sides to seal.  The meat juices will make the vegetables tender and the vegies add a scrumptious flavor to the meat.  We recomment onions, peppers, tomatoes, & carrots.
Whole chicken - To cook a whole chicken on the grill look for this great recipe in the chicken section.
