Marcus and I bought our first grill from Craig's List the day before Memorial Day and grilled out at our party the next day. It looked new (the previous owners said it had been used once) and was only half the retail price because it was used. We've now used it to grill hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken, steak and steak/veggie kabobs, and are well on our way to becoming a grill-loving family. (To be completely honest, the first few times it was really different friends using our grill while we watched and learned). I gave Marcus a set of grilling tools for Father's Day, and I think its hilarious that he cleans them meticulously and carefully puts them away every time he uses them. If only I could get him to care so much about his clothes... :)
Our deck is really ideal for meals outside, and in the fall and spring, we eat outside very regularly. Thankfully, this summer has also been very mild, so we are continuing to eat outside on the cooler evenings. This past Friday we had friends over and grilled steak kabobs together. Its nice that, on the deck, we can let the kids get up and play when they are done and we can finish our meal without tending to them. And the best part about eating outside is that bits of food can be dropped all over the place and the birds and chipmunks will report early the next morning for clean-up duty :)
