Electric grills are a climate-friendly option to fossil fuel grills
Summer grilling usually starts with filling a propane tank or buying a bag of charcoal briquettes. But some people are ditching these fuels for a more climate-friendly electric grill.
Just before dinner recently, Stoio Kachev wheeled his electric grill across his family’s backyard patio to an electrical outlet, plugged it in and hit the power button.
“You can choose what temperature you want,” Kachev says, setting it to 500 degrees Fahrenheit on the digital display. “So you see it’s at 152 now and it’ll take about 15 minutes to get to 500.”
On the menu are two family favorites. “We are making some Bulgarian short ribs, and we’re going to make some Vietnamese pork belly,” says Doanh Nghiem. She and Kachev say convenience is the main reason they switched to an electric grill.
Must be crazy liberals to get all high-toned and fancy todo
Climate change is another reason Nghiem and Kachev switched. Before the grill, the couple replaced several fossil fuel items with electric ones — first their car, then lawn mower and trimmer, a water heater and last year the grill.
Switching from a fossil fuel-burning device to an electric one — called electrification — is a key climate solution, especially as they are powered by electricity generated from an increasingly cleaner grid that uses renewable energy instead of fossil fuels.
Piss off. It’s just not the same. Like using MSG instead of properly spicing food. These people are just insufferable, and, want to force Everyone Else to comply.
They might as well just cook indoors.
Here’s waiting for the Pyrite State to ban propane and charcoal grills, to save Mother Gaia!
Christmas dinner in 2002, our first in Jim Thorpe, such as it was, was cooked on the charcoal grill on the back patio, since a heavy, 14″ snowfall knocked out the sparktricity at 11:30. The power wasn’t restored until about 6:00 PM on the following day. It was about 50º F inside the house by then. That was just one more reason to add the wood-burning stove. There was no natural gas hookup to the house, and our furnace was fueled by heating oil, but required electricity to operate.
I once had the same sparktricity failure at my apartment. I ended up cooking breakfast on the patio using my Coleman camp stove. Using what was called “white gas”. So to these bozoids, I.m a racist as well as an ecothreat. :-)
Seriously ? Without gas and oil, which is a renewable resource, not fossil fuel from dead dinosaurs, we would not have ELECTRICITY. Do not believe their lies.
Seriously? Gas and oil are renewable? Sure, if you can wait 200-300 million years! Dinosaurs were not the source of fossil fuels, but plants and teensy, tiny ocean organisms were.
Some persons believe that Jesus put gas, oil and coal underground for our use when the Earth was created 6000 years ago.
There are various methods for generating electricity – nuclear reactors, solar panels, wind, geothermal, biomass and hydroelectric. Thirty-two nations get 80% or more of their power from renewable sources. Brazil is the largest nation that is 90% renewable. Twelve nations report getting 100% from renewables – mostly ones blessed with ample hydroelectric sources.
The big polluters are: China (31% renewable), U.S. (23%), India (45%), Russia (18%). China is responsible for some 33% of the world’s carbon dioxide emissions.
What is this scheisse?? Mr Teach, who may or may not be an American buries the lede:
and
Do you see what I see? What are Stoio Kachev and Doanh Nghiem doing here?? Did NPR check the citizenship of these foreigners? Why couldn’t they find Americans with papers to interview?
We can’t believe the pussies that “grill” on electricity, propane, charcoal briquets or wood “pellets”! Man up and cook on real wood like the gods intended. It’s why trees were invented. Oak, hickory, pecan, maple, apple, cherry, but not that girly mesquite they use in the CRT (Confederate Republic of Tex-ass). Real men eat their meat rare, if not raw.
Mr Teach also hid that the primary reason the foreigners cook on electric.
Sounds as if it’s more convenient!
Appears fat boy Rimjob, is exceedingly lonely this Memorial Day.
Keep reaching.
Mr teach pays The Lil Pissant too much to defend him! You might try to address the direct criticisms of your boss’s posts.
BTW, dumbass, Memorial Day is Monday, not today. We’ll be observing with the extended family – what will you do?
For the record: MSG is awesome.
I’ll wager that the slabs of ribs we are prepping for a low and slow smoke over seasoned hickory and lump charcoal in the Big Green Egg will be much tastier than the whackadoodles’ tofu burgers grilled on Old Sparky.
