Get Your Grill On
SUMMER’S NEARLY HERE, which means it’s time to chill
out — and get the grill out. You’ve got your matches, you’ve
loaded up on meat and you’ve made your music mix. Now
here are six apps to be sure your outdoor bash is as successful as it is saucy. — Bianca Bosker and Tim Stenovec
ACCUWEATHER
BEER BUDDY
WEBER’S ON THE GRILL
Good grilling requires
good weather. Make
sure the sun will
shine on your smoke
with Accuweather’s
app, which includes
“lifestyle” forecasts for
dog walking, hair frizz
and, yes, barbecuing.
What’s a grilled dinner
without good beer?
Barcode-scanning app
Beer Buddy provides
reviews, ratings
and other essential
information about
hundreds of thousands
of beers.
The ultimate grilling
app has recipes and tips
for grilling, marinades
and desserts. It also
includes a timer to
ensure that your meat,
vegetables and
fruit don’t get
over-cooked.
