How To Plan An Eco-Friendly BBQ
, Contributing Writer
Most people think of weekend cook-outs as a way to get closer to nature, not increase their carbon footprint. Not to put a damper on a great American past-time, but before you fire up the grill, take a minute to consider not only the artery-clogging food that you’re gobbling, but also the unhealthy toxins that you’re releasing into the air. Fortunately, by making some small changes in the way you grill, you can enjoy your festivities while minimizing damage to the environment.
1. The Grill
The single barbecue item that is responsible for the greatest amount of potential environmental harm is your grill. If you’re in the market for a new one, a solar-powered grill is your best bet. If you can’t go solar, a natural gas grill is the next best option (assuming that “saving the environment” ranks higher on your list than “opposing offshore drilling.” We’ll let you make that choice.)
Propane and electric grills are lower down on the list, and traditional charcoal-fueled grills have the biggest negative impact on the environment, releasing the highest levels of carbon monoxide and producing ground-level ozone. But even if charcoal is your only option, don’t despair. Look for organic or sustainably-produced charcoal briquettes, which release fewer toxins and soot when burned, or lump charcoal . Both contain mostly wood, but the latter contains fewer additives, such as coal dust. In particular, look for lump charcoal derived from invasive tree species or sustainable forests. There are some pretty inventive charcoal alternatives on the market these days—go here to check out the full range of eco-friendly charcoal products. In place of smog-inducing lighter fluid, use a chimney charcoal starter.
Regardless of what you’re using to power your grill, you can be good to the environment by investing in a cast iron or stainless steel grill , which eliminate toxins from cooking, or a ceramic or infrared grill , which uses less energy to heat up and maintain temperature.
