    I’ll never understand why it became the norm to use fire to cook outside during the hottest months of the year.

        And most grilling you have to stand next to the source of the heat which gets far hotter than a stove.

          Outside of TV shows, people don’t congregate right around the grill the whole time. Also, the heat of the grill stays outside. When it’s hot out, using the oven or the stove inside heats the house up quite a lot, and it’s really hard to cool it back down in the evening, so when it’s hot is when we’re most likely to grill.

          Momentary discomfort, and then you have the option to enjoy your food in a still-cool home.

            Aye, SOMETIMES you have to watch-dog your food on the grill especially if youre in scotland and youre dealing with girl scouts that are about 8 stories tall and are a crustacean from the Palezoic Era

            Just remember to grill $3.50 alongside your food and to always watch it. Dont end up like me or my cousin’s family on that sad , sad summer day… 🥺🫂
