Fish on a Plank
Plank grilling is one of the best ways to cook fish, whether it is whole, fillets of steaks. The wood plank, usually cedar, gives you a platform to hold the fish together and make the grilling easier, while the smoke generated by the smoldering wood adds a great smoky flavor to the fish. This method has been used for centuries and has recently gained a new life as people move towards more complex grilled dishes.

Grilling Soup
It's one of the oldest grilling jokes, but yes you actually can make soup on the grill. By grilling ingredients for your next soup, from tomatoes to sausages, you can add so much more flavor. So, don't boil to cook, grill then soup.

Chuck Steaks
Want a great steak that isn't going to punch you in the wallet? Don't take out a loan to get a Rib Eye. Instead, get the steak next to it, the Chuck Eye Steak. Chuck steaks are not as tender, but are loaded with flavor and if you prepare them right you can grill a great steak. The secret is to know your chuck steak, know when and how to marinate it and grilling hot and fast, but not too much.

Images from the American Royal BBQ Competition
This year over 500 teams poured into Kansas City for the American Royal BBQ Competition, the largest in the world. For three days this thousands of people gathered to celebrate barbecue and engage in two separate competitions. These images highlight what goes on behind the scenes at a competition of this size.
