My wife was pretty handy operating our gasser 20 years ago, but our
standards and cooker have evolved over the years. She still uses our
little K [she mostly grills], but needs for me to get it fired up and
stabilized.

The teenage daughter next door grills herself a couple of burgers &
buns almost every afternoon before going off to work. They have a
gasser, but she still produces a very nice looking sandwich.
