If you own a grill, you might want to start stocking up on meat NOW.  Because your friends and family are counting on you to FEED THEM next week.

--According to a new survey from Weber, 90% of people with a grill end up firing it up on the Fourth of July.  That means there's a nine in 10 chance you're going to be grilling next week.

--That makes the Fourth the most popular grilling holiday of the year.  Labor Day is second, birthdays are third, Memorial Day is fourth, and Father's Day is fifth.

--Hamburgers are the most common item people grill on the 4th, followed by chicken and steak.  Hot dogs were voted the easiest item to grill . . . chicken is the most difficult.

--During the summer, the average person hosts about three barbecues . . . and about one in five people host at least FIVE.
