At last! It's Victoria Day weekend and the grilling season has officially arrived. According to the recent Weber Canadian GrillWatch Survey(TM), successful outdoor cooking depends on three factors - a reliable grill, well-liked popular food selections, and great friends to share the occasion.
The 21st annual survey, conducted in November 2009 by Toronto-based Leger Marketing on behalf of Weber-Stephen Products Co., probes the habits, knowledge and performance of Canadian grillers. There were 1009 consumers nationwide, aged 19 and over, who participated in the survey.
When it comes to grill models, here are the stats:• the majority of Canadians (91% of respondents) use gas
• 84% own a liquid propane tank barbecue
• nine out of ten barbecue owners use full-size models that include side burners
• 37% prefer stainless steel to colour grills
• charcoal is still popular (17%)
• smokers are used by only 6% of our outdoor cooks
Canadians report that gas grills are easy, convenient and fun to use, but admit that food grilled over charcoal results in more aroma and better taste!
