Memorial Day is the unofficial kickoff to summer, so it's not surprising this is the time of year when many cooks start dusting off their gas or charcoal grills and power-washing their patios.
Summer is peak grilling season for the 80% of Americans who own a grill or smoker, according the Hearth, Patio & Barbecue Association, with Memorial Day which honors the men and women who have died while serving in the U.S. military ranking as the third most popular day for a cookout after July 4 and Labor Day.
Summer also is when backyard barbecues, graduation parties and other gatherings kick into high gear.
