And a small benefit, you don't heat up the inside of the home. Yeah the A/C will solve that. So I'm back to lots of beer. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisL Posted August 22, 2020 Share #6 Posted August 22, 2020 Unless I’m making satay which requires constant attention I don’t stand at the grill. Low indirect heat and I leave it alone. Also, burgers & dogs aren’t worth the hassle to set up a bbq and having worked snack bars for years im perfectly fine never flipping another burger on the grill ever again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtyhip Posted August 22, 2020 Share #7 Posted August 22, 2020 It's ok for some things. I like it for flavor. The heat does make it a sweaty experience. You cant put the BBQ under the porch, to enjoy the shade. It's best if you have a big shady tree that helps your backyard. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please explain. I'd say fix the "standing in the hot sun" part, and it becomes much more bearable. I think my dad grilled out almost every day from spring through fall in the last decade of his life. I feel like he felt most comfortable cooking at a grill than working a stove or oven??? I think, at the least, a campfire is a fun version of grilling out for us. I "get" grilling while camping and think most people would enjoy it. But yes, some people are a bit too gung-ho about proselytizing about grilling. But their just a different version of any other person who is oddly gung-ho about something you're not really that into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the smoke that stains. If is is not a problem for you, that is great. We noticed it was staining the house paint, so we moved it away from the house.

MickinMD ★ Posted August 22, 2020 Share #26 Posted August 22, 2020 I love grilling - when someone else is doing it! I traded an desktop-computer hard drive to my brother-in-law for a grill in the 90's. It was a gas grill and I rarely used it except when I was having a backyard party. It died in the fire. There is something to be said for the taste of things that are basted and grilled or grilled over wood/charcoal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Further Posted August 22, 2020 Share #27 Posted August 22, 2020 I enjoy cooking, I enjoy it more over the grill. There is a little bit more involvement with lighting the fire, judging when it is ready to cook on, regulating temp with the lid and vents rather than just putting it on "7" Add some wood for smoke flavor, move stuff around to the hot or cool spot.....it occupies your attention And my grill is in the shade, till it gets cold and then it moves to the sun. And the beer fridge is 6 steps away 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Page Turner Posted August 23, 2020 Share #29 Posted August 23, 2020 ...outdoor grilling provides an opportunity to get all smoky smelling and covered in ash, without the accompanying destruction of life an property of living in the vicinity of a ginormous wildfire. All the mess, all the smoke, with none of the property damage (if you do it right.) Luckily for me, for the past week I've been downwind of the mother of all wildfires. So I can stay indoors mostly in the AC, and if I need to get smoky and covered in ash, I can step outdoors briefly. This is why people move to California, man. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tizeye Posted August 23, 2020 Share #30 Posted August 23, 2020 No self respecting Floridian stands in the sun for anything other than a trip to the beach.

Randomguy Posted August 23, 2020 Author Share #31 Posted August 23, 2020 If I can make it in the kitchen, which has all the tools, plus running water, an oven that properly controls the temperature (plus the stove has burners), is out of the sun, has booze, and is cooler, plus is closer to the bathroom, tv, and couch, then why the hell would I want to grill outside? Plus having to buy a grill, special tools, fuel, etc. etc. etc. All for some char marks? I am still not getting this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Short of having an oversized specialty stove like a Jennair with gas grill, and a matching high flow air exhaust fan system there is no way to duplicate grill cooking indoors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
