Fire up the barby!

One thing hasn't changed since the backyard barbecue became a suburban staple in the 1950s - it's still a guy thing. Men do the grilling more than half the time, according to a Weber Grill survey. The top three foods they cook? Steaks, chicken, and hamburgers.

For advice on everything from cleaning the grill to planning an al fresco meal with panache, American cooks can call the Weber Grill-Line at 1-800-474-5568 (1-800-GRILL-OUT), Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., through Labor Day (Sept. 6).
