I tend to think of Memorial Day Weekend as the time when the summer grilling season really starts to heat up. While the weather has already been nice for as much as a month in some areas, by the end of May, nearly everyone is having a surfeit of warm, sunny days and is ready to move the bulk of their cooking outdoors (so as to avoid heating up the kitchen).
Here at Slashfood, we're going to spend a lot of time focusing on all this summer outdoor cookery. We'll have a bunch of posts up for you this week, to get you ready for the weekend, but we'll be writing about grilling, barbecuing and even what to do if you don't have any outdoor space in which to grill, all summer long. Our friends at AOL Food are also featuring grilling this summer, so make sure to check in over there often for fresh tips, tricks, recipes and bbq related quizzes.
To get you started, here are some grilling links from past years:

Every year people get it in their heads that it would be a good idea to deep fry their Thanksgiving turkey. Although some folks pull it off without injury to themselves, many others end up in the hospital with burns (there was a reason that people used to pour boiling oil on their enemies) or the fire department has to make a special trip to put out the smoking rubble that was once their home.
