I don't have an outdoor electic or gas grill, just the Weber.
Nor does my kitchen directly open up onto an outdoor space;
there are stairs up/down the back porch to the patio where
such a grill would have to set. It adds up to enough hassle
that I'm probably not going to do outdoor cooking for
things I could do just as well in the kitchen.
But I can certainly see the appeal of cooking outside whenever
possible. I'm just not set up for it.
