Tags: I see it this way!

This group of gas grills were seen at the local Lowe's in Seaford De.  It looks like I may be stuck with one.  Since I prefer charcoal, this is not something I look forward to. All my children know that charcoal is the choice for the serious *Barbecue preparer.  So I'll be embarrassed when they come to visit. Why am I in this predicament? My lovely wife will not allow me to have a "real" grill because she feels they're too messy.  In my on house,  charcoal ashes weren't a problem as I just threw them into some brush or a compose pile.  With our Home Owners Assoc. dictating very strict rules about the look of my property, a charcoal grill could prove difficult. The gas grill I'll purchase should run about $400.  The charcoal grill I want was about $200. Now that was a grill.  It had a separate firebox to smoke meats.  This beauty looked like the old home grills from Texas.  That's the ones made out of 55-gallon drums.  You'd take a drum and cut it in have lengthwise, put legs on it, a small chimney, a grill in the center to hold food, and you were "licensed to cook barbeque in the Lone Star State of Texas". Such fond memories :) But since I try to see to bright side of things.  The gas grill will come with a rotisserie .  I've want to rotisserie my ribs for years.  I think they would be out of this world. Now, when the girls come to visit, I'll have to distract them and make sure they don't go outside to see what cooked their dad's "tasty fall-off-the bone ribs". * barbeque, barbecue, bar-b-que and spelled a zillion more ways
