3 lbs. salmon marinated in EVOO, lemon juice, herbes de provence, garlic powder and onion powder.

Asparagus Spears with EVOO & kosher salt

Vidalia Onions

Red Peppers, zucchini, portabello mushroom caps

skinless boneless chicken breasts marinated in AC vinegar, kosher salt, soy sauce, canola oil, ground ginger, onion powder and garlic powder

Corn on the cob is fantastic on the grill - much better than boiling it IMO. Husk the corn before putting it on the grill, otherwise it just steams it, really. Flip it often.

For grilling, Korean flanken style cut short ribs marinated in soy sauce, garlic, ginger and sesame seeds. Similar marinade can be used for chicken.

For BBQ, ribs take 4 hours to do properly and pork butt will take you 10, but taste like heaven and totally worth it. Not all of that needs to be in the smoker as you can do some in the oven after it gets most of the smoke flavor in the first few hours, but you'll want to finish back on the grill for a nice bark on the outside.

Boneless, skinless chicken thighs marinated in soy vey island teriyaki.

Instead of plain hot dogs, buy fresh andouille sausages.

We just put the salmon on the grill and it is delicious. What is the difference when you use a cedar plank?

It comes out with smoky flavor. Try it once and you'll be hooked.
Besides, it's less work - you just put the plank with the fish on it on the grill and take it out 15-20 minutes later. No turning, no risk of pieces breaking apart.

+1. SO good. I use the cedar planks at Costco and the rub recipe that comes inside the package and the salmon is delicious.

pizza! Easy (have toppings ready to go) and we'll use pitas, tortillas, or flatbreads for the crust sometimes. Also good if you have a mix of eaters - some can be veggie, meat, etc.
beer can chicken as PP said - or, if you don't want to do a whole chicken, grill quarters and some sausages. Yum.
Grill slices of potato and red onion, then toss with vinaigrette and top with parsley. I bet some bacon crumbled on top would be amazing.
pineapple spears are easy to grill along side chicken, ribs, etc

For dessert, grill peach halves, and drizzle with honey, cinnamon, and serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Delish.

Love ribs, and kabobs. Kabobs can be beef, pork, chicken, sausage, whatever. We grill them with red onions, peppers, maybe tomatoes. Soooooooo good.

I agree with ribs - you can smoke them in advance and just toss them on the grill at the last minute to char them up.

Serve them with creamed spinach, a salad and corn bread which can both easily be made in advance.
