Natural Gas Grill Recipes - Pulled Pork Sandwiches, Grilled Onions, Coleslaw, Baked Beans
Certain foods just beckon for preparation on BBQ grills. Ribs, chicken, fish, steak, corn on the cob; there are plenty of foods that come together nicely on outdoor grills to comprise a complete meal.

Cooking outdoors makes us think of vacation, block parties, family reunions, picnics, and friendly get-togethers. Grilling is fun, relaxing, festive, and tasty.

Creating meal combinations for barbecue grills is something every cook enjoys. Popular side dishes that come to mind are potato salad and coleslaw, which are great sides for pulled smoked pork sandwiches along with crisp dill pickle slices, baked beans, and grilled onions.

First, make your potato salad and coleslaw and refrigerate.

Smoked home-cooked BBQ baked beans can be made right along with the meat on the propane grill. Sliced onions can be wrapped tightly in a foil pouch with some butter and set on the back corner of the grill about a half hour before the meat is done.

To make BBQ beans on a propane or natural gas grill, place two large cans of pork and beans into a cast iron pot. Add some chopped green bell pepper along with bacon slices cut into quarters. Add some barbecue sauce, brown sugar, ground mustard, and molasses; let the cauldron bubble.

Season a Boston butt liberally with a mesquite rub. Place it on the top rack of a natural gas grill or propane grill. Place a heat safe pan under the meat on the lower grill rack. Fill the pan with pineapple juice, beer, canned nectar, or a combination of these


As the liquid simmers, the moisture floats up and infiltrates the meat. It also protects your grill elements from grease drips.

Baste the meat while cooking to prevent it from drying out. Keeping the meat basted and moist while cooking will render a juicy tender roast. You can purchase basting solutions at the grocery or make your own.

When the meat is done to an internal temperature of 170 degrees, place it in a casserole dish. As soon as the meat can be handled, slice and shred the meat. Place it in a large crock-pot, season with pepper and salt, and add 2 cups of barbecue sauce of choice, stirring to blend. Leave it warming in the pot on low.

When ready to eat, wrap hamburger buns in paper towels and warm in the microwave for 20-25 seconds. Place pork on the buns and top with grilled onions and some coleslaw. Add extra BBQ sauce as desired. Serve along with a helping of baked beans, potato salad, and crisp sliced dill pickles.

Gas grills are so convenient, and they allow you to enjoy grilled foods year round.

If you use a propane grill, always keep an extra bottle of gas on hand. You do not want to run out of gas right in the middle of grilling foods.
