Not a big issue here as no rain from now to mid November, so no hurry in cleaning up ashes.Im not crazy about fire watching and the fire residue clean up

Wow
I'm impressed.
What were you cooking? And I have to assume you were not all sitting outdoors
Lol, I actually like to stay outside for a while in the cold. I'm good down to about 10° F for a half hour or so.. Its's invigorating. My wife thinks I'm nuts because it's often in shorts and a t shirt and snow boots. Must be the Norwegian blood from mom.Wow

I guess I was cooking one of the usual suspects that day. I grill pretty much every week all year long, as mentioned. Tandoori spiced chicken halves, salt and pepper chicken legs and thighs, pollo asado, Lebanese kafta, chicken satay, souvlaki, steaks, burgers, sausages, lamb chops, pork chops, shrimp, squid, blackened fish in a cast iron skillet, red bell peppers, poblanos, sweet onions, garlic loaded asparagus, pineapple slices, and more.
My wife loves plainly grilled food as it's the lowest fat way of cooking proteins.
While I love winter, I'm glad it's over. We had about 8 big snows this year with most over a foot, and 3 snowstorms over 2 feet.

I usually buy lump charcoal. If using wood it makes a lot more ashes to deal with.Very seldom do I cook outdoors tho very fortunate to know many who do! Perhaps I should get into into it more. Im not crazy about fire watching and the fire residue clean up
We do have both a gas grill and charcoal. Also plenty of wood - apple and peach. Others mentioned cooking over charcoal - is that just by way of using wood and letting it burn down to coals like badjak or do people make charcoal ahead of time for later use?
There's a brand of charcoal, Kingsford, that had an interesting start. Mr. Kingsford was in cahoots with Henry Ford and they took the wood bits left over from making dashboards and what not at the Ford factory and started Kingsford charcoal.

Feel you on cleaning another thing, especially a grill to boot!Nothing beats the flavor of a steak or a burger done over charcoal.I've thought about adding a Big Green Egg in between our gas grill and smoker, but it's one more thing to clean and take care of.
I saw a show on the History channel about Kingsford and Ford, and how both saw that each other's products helped the other. Driving made people want to get outdoors and grill more, and charcoal grills made people drive more.I usually buy lump charcoal. If using wood it makes a lot more ashes to deal with.
