Yesterday after work I my wife and I were both too tired from work to make dinner so I told her we still have burgers and hot dogs with buns in our garage fridge so I decided to fire up the grill for a quick grill session In less than 15 minutes I was able to whip up 5 burgers and 5 hotdogs without breaking a sweat, my wife found it funny that I was too tired to even grill standing up and took a picture of me being lazy while grilling lol.

How do you get the grill up to temperature so quick The BBQ briquette things take ages before they go white and are ready to cook on Take me hours, I am not very good with the grill, or BBQ

You should have told her you'd be happy to sit back while she stood there and did the grilling. Pretty and I both love grilled meats but I finally gave both grills away. (We had a propane grill and a charcoal grill.) No matter what I did, I always burned myself while grilling. Now, if I feel like eating barbecue, I get out a disposable aluminum pan, load it up with chicken and pork, pour barbecue sauce over everything and slide it into the oven for 40 minutes. It comes out delicious! I hope you all enjoyed your dinner.

Dude, that's a really nice outdoor kitchen you have! Love the stonework and the big outdoor fireplace!

Thanks Jeff, I did the stonework myself last summer, just put up the tv bracket to hold a 48 inch flat screen so I can grill and watch sports in the yard

You certainly were smart to grill sitting down. After a long day at work your dinner sounds like a great decision. I love when we can grill up dinner and it's ready in no time. I'd never say no to a burger or hot dog.

that's how it becomes wiser, lol! You grill while sitting on the chair. Anyway, I am glad you had burgers and hotdogs for the dinner.

You must have been tired to sit to grill for just a few minutes, but you got it done and I'm sure it was delicious. Tonight is sandwich and macaroni salad night here. No standing for that, I put out all of the meats, cheeses, condiments, pickles and vegetables on the table and we each build our own and have a little salad with it and its so yummy.
