Dads Rule the Grill!

Dads of the world arise! Your time is now! Grilling is hot these days and (as we all know) dads rule the grill (and the remote)! It's time to drag out those great Father's Day gifts from years past: the bright red bib apron emblazoned with the words Fire Hazard and the orange lobster claw-handled grill tools. You can put them to good use this summer.

Grill sales are increasing annually (up 66% since 1992) as more families get out of the kitchen and embrace outdoor living -- and cooking. No more hot summer kitchens or pots and pans to wash up. Toss dinner on the grill and it's ready in 30 minutes with no clean up!

The number of grill options today is staggering. These are not your father's Weber kettle! Some of the cool features available today include:

• Multiple burners that allow preparation of several dishes at once.
• Snazzy accessories like pizza grillers, skewer racks, fish trays and rotisseries. (Ducane offers a grill complete with a margarita blender so you can quench your thirst while you baste the steaks!)
• Powerful lightweight portable grills that fit in your car trunk but still deliver maximum fire power.
• See-through propane containers and gauge meters that show when fuel is low.

The only thing missing is a remote and that can't be far behind. So dads, this summer, get out your BBQ recipes, your basters, brushes and tongs and commandeer the patio. This is your time to shine!

Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there from realtor John Day and the entire Homes Buy Day staff. If you want to buy or sell a home in Maryland or the Washington DC area, visit our website and give us a call.
