'''License to Grill''' is a show hosted by [[Rob Rainford]] and can be seen on [[Food Network Canada]], [[Discovery Home Channel]] in the United States, [[Asian Food Channel]] and downloaded at [[MoboVivo]]. The show is produced by [[Knight Enterprises]].
 
License''Licence to Grill'' is a series that explores the enjoyment of backyard cooking, entertaining, and the [[barbecue]]. Each episode takes place over a day or two, but mainly on Saturdays. The host and chef Rob Rainford prepares a meal for the evening when guests will arrive.
 
The central theme is barbecue and with that, Rainford shows us tips and tricks for cooking on a barbecue. The recipes range from the typical barbecue fare, such as [[hamburgers]], [[steak]]ssteaks, [[kebab]]skebabs, to more ambitious meals such as [[Lamb|leg of lamb]], hot smoking sides of [[fish]], and grilled [[dessert]]sdesserts.
 
Rainford has a philosophy when it comes to the barbecue: "It's pretty simple. Just start with the freshest ingredients you can find and then you've got two choices: long slow cooking over low indirect heat, or red hot and smokin' for fast grilling. If you cook low and slow then you can use all sorts of rubs and smoking agents to infuse the food with a depth of flavour you just can’tcan't get out of an oven. As for high heat grilling, your barbecue puts out way more heat than your stovetop so you can get that wonderful charring and searing, just like in a restaurant."{{Fact|date=July<ref>Quoted 2007}}on FoodTV.Ca at http://www.foodtv.ca/ontv/hostdetails.aspx?hostid=37086</ref>
The show's host, Rob Rainford, has often been criticized for his overzealous delivery on the show.{{Fact|date=July 2007}} His demeanor has been compared to that of an NFL commentator, and is best described as a "love it or hate it" attitude. However, most people who actually watch him and learn from him find him very entertaining and informative.
