Around the homestead, that is?
Folks talking all the time about grill this, barbecue that, and even outdoor griddles.
Sure up in the woods camping, feeding a tribe, that's a thing.
Just a couple of us on a hunting trip, we're cooking over the campfire, just like Grandpa and Uncles always did.
But around the house? Hell, I have a perfectly good electric range. And if the power goes out, there's a gas range in the RV.
After thirty years of marriage with no outside grill, Momma thought we needed one, cause everyone else has one! I told her, after thirty years, if we had needed one, we would have had one. But no, she insisted.
It sat on the deck for five years, and got fired up three times. One of which was to smoke a twenty five pound turkey with hickory chips. It was not bad, but did not match what the guy at the butcher plant can do.
I finally sent the thing home with my son. Six months later, he threw it on a load going to the dump. That was almost five years ago.
Now Momma is talking about paying big bucks for a Traeger. WT actual F?
I could purchase another handgun with that kind of cash. Or pay for serious upgrades to the coming 1911.
People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.

Nothing like meat cooked with Mesquite wood

Please turn in your man card.
Ever since the beginning of man, we’ve used fire.
Hot pockets and red Barron pizzas are for puzzies.
Crockpots are for city folk.
Nothing beats a nice thick ribeye over a hot fire.

#fire Do use a crockpot a lot in winter or in the summer when I know I will be strapped for time in the evenings. We are going to be building a new house within the next 2 years, it will have an outside kitchen.

Just depends on what you want I suppose. We enjoy cooking outdoors. If you don't- nothing wrong with that.

I love my Weber. No mess, no dishes, no fuss, good food. Mine is hooked up to my home gas line, so no running out of gas and filling bottles.

First off, cooking in the house is on a gas range. Electric sucks.
I got rid of my outdoor grill years ago and haven't missed it. I have a smoker, and I have a fire pit on the patio that I can cook over hot coals. The pit is 4 feet across which allows for various heat settings on the grate grill. Cooking outdoors is fun when you build a real fire and wait for it to burn down before cooking. Consume a few drinks while waiting.
Don't just be a survivor, be a competitor.

We cook as much outside as inside, probably even more outside. It's hard to beat a good steak cooked over oak coals. And my wife likes me to fry the fish, shrimp and lobster outside. Ribs, pork shoulders and butts are great in the smoker. We have pork chops on the right now and the boss is putting BBQ sauce on them as I type.

We cook outside more than inside. Our weber gasser was built in 2002 and just keeps on keeping on. To each his own. I get a lot of flack for using a gasser but no one turns down food I offer so...

I don't really have much use for it despite having put in an outdoor kitchen n the house. I thought I'd use it some, but my wife prefers to do almost all of the cooking. A couple of weeks ago I taught her how to run the Bradley, so she is off and running on that. Once we do the pizza oven I'll be completely free from cooking obligations.
So outdoor cooking is getting some use around here but not by me.

Pay to heat the oven while the AC tries to cool the house as energy prices skyrocket; seems brilliant. I enjoy cooking, I enjoy being outside, so I love cooking outside. Saving money on energy is a bonus.

We have a family tradition of grilling out every Sunday evening, year round. I look forward to it all week. I use a 1960s made, Charbroil 450A, that my Grandpa bought new. I can even smoke on it. I believe pork chops are on the menu this weekend.

How to do you cook a steak? Never could like a steak cooked in a fry pan personally.... This time of year about half of our cooking is outdoors mostly on the BBQ.
