Do you own an outdoor grill?

[Metalhead]

I have a decent size propane grill, and it is amazing.

I use it a couple times a month in the summer time. Usually just burgers and brats. Sometimes hot links. Sometimes asparagus.

Do you have an outdoor grill?

I don't live where I have a back yard that would make that practical. If possible I prefer to use wood than gas because of the extra flavours you get in the food. You have to know what you're doing there though, some types of timber are poisonous.

Also, in actual English English we call it a Barbecue. The word Grill has two specific meanings in English, mostly it's used to describe a particular shape.

When English speaking people use the term Grill in reference to cooking they're talking about a part of the stove where the flame is above the food, not below. The exact opposite of a barbecue. That's where the grilled cheese on toast is made.

No. We used to have some kind of grill when I was a kid, but I don't know what became of it. I think we only ever used it a time or two.

I have a Sproul Baker reflector-oven, which is a way to bake bread & what-not if you can't get an oven. It is made of sheet tinplate and folds up and you sit it next to a bright fire to cook what you'd like. The old "river-drivers" in Maine used them.

For grilling I usually dig a hole in the ground and build a nice fire and when that's died down to coals I will put a grate on it and go from there.

In Australia most of our public parks have free electric barbecues for the public to use. They're just flat plates though, no grill.

I had the barrel type, but it got old and rusted out, finally. Oops.

I'm still trying to change residence, and if I get the acreage that I want, I'm probably going to build a standalone, brick and mortar oven / griddle setup. It'll hopefully resemble kind of the above picture...just brick style.

Got various stuff here. The fire pit came with the property. Two charcoal-smoker grills- one under a shade tree behind the house, the other way out by the shop. A propane unit left by an ex-girlfriend (which I've never used because the house has a gas stove-oven already). Then one of those big east-asian ceramic pot cookers. The most unique item is a poly-mirrored folded-panel solar cooker, in the summer the glass-lidded cast iron kettle reaches 380 degrees.

I have a small Weber gas barbecue that I use frequently, a large, wood-fired, brick barbecue that was here when I bought the house (and haven’t used in years) and an outdoor, wood-fired pizza oven that I scavenged from a local kerb-side collection. I haven’t used that one yet, but it looks almost unused. There was a tricky bit to attaching the handle - it’s a “lots of assembly required” kit model, on wheels - that it seems the previous owner had not managed to complete. Perhaps that’s why it was there for me to find. Just a bit of surface rust on some of the bright steel parts - looks like it may have been left out in the rain - got some phosphoric acid to clean that up. I also picked up a portable fire pit a few months ago, in another kerb-side collection. I have two propane stoves - a larger, twin-burner for car-camping, and a mini-burner for back-packing.

What a timely thread for me! I insisted that my husband boil his stinking raw peanuts outside yesterday on the big propane grill that has a stove burner eye on the side. It smells like he is cooking dirt. I'm allergic to peanuts and just having them in the house makes my eyelids swell. I love the taste of boiled, salted peanuts but they don't like me.

We have a huge propane grill that also has a burner eye like a stove and a plancha (like a griddle), a small propane stove for camping, a Big Green Egg charcoal grill/smoker that I use a lot, and an old Weber charcoal grill that I like to cook burgers and hot dogs on because it doesn't require much charcoal to get the job done. We also have a propane cooker with an enormous pot to cook lobsters, crawfish and other seafood. I guess I should mention the fire pit over at our lake that we use over there.

We use the outdoor cookers year-round, even if it is freezing cold outside.

I'm glad there was somewhere for them to be cooked without them triggering your allergies.

We have hundreds of acres of land so, yeah, there's always somewhere outside where hubby can go boil his peanuts without my having to smell them.

I want to get one but then I have no place to put it to keep it out of the rain or snow.

I wish! Nothing like a good charcoal-broiled burger.

Though predictably my landlord doesn't permit anything with an open flame on balconies or patios.

The heat and desert winds...could be a disaster. This remains earthquake country, where everything is pretty much wood-frame construction. Gives in a quake, but not in a fire.

My wife has a Blackstone - it has a large flat iron surface to cook stuff on and loads of accessories. She loves grilling stuff and asked for it for her birthday a few years ago.

We have people over and they always assume it's mine. I have to correct them every time: "It's my wife's. She's grills. I don't touch her grill."
