Doing some chicken thighs tonight. Marinated in Goya Criollo and using hickory chunks (thanks, Molly). Man oh man, does it smell GOOD!!!!!!! No one else is grillin' in the neighborhood. Nor will they be - until about May or June!

It's gonna seem really weird all winter - 10* and a foot of snow on the ground - and the smell of cookin' on the barbie wafting through the air! :)

How to make your neighbors jealous... ain't eggin' great?! : :laugh:

I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

  • They're jealous all year round.... :lol:
  • I'm always worried about that. I live in a condo, second floor, wood balcony. Per city fire code, only gassers are allowed on wooden balconies on non-single-family homes (condos and townhomes). I'm always nervous, especially in the winter, when I'm the only one cooking outside, and at night, when I have to have a light on the balcony, so I'm more visible. I always tell myself that if I get caught, I'll just cook up something quickly for the city inspector. ;)

    ...come to think of it, we've got a firehouse a couple blocks away...I should just cook up the boys a big pulled pork dinner every couple months...I'm pretty sure we wouldn't have any problems after that. B)

    That's how it works Mike. :)

    Enjoy!

    I usually make an extra butt or rack for my cool neighbor. B)

    Place a couple of bright work lights between the balcony rail and the BGE, directing the light beam out, away from the rail, and slightly down. This will obscure your nefarious acts from most public scrutiny. Keep the backlighting as low as you can, maybe one of the LED clip-on BBQ lights from Lowes. Try not to use the porch light if you can avoid it.
    One can also take a couple of empty Coleman-type propane bottles, hook a hose to them that does nothing, and place it right next to the lower vent of the BGE. If the propane bottles are visible it will look to all the world as if you are just another gasser user: I do hereby and henceforth state and claim that I would never advise, encourage, or suggest that anyone violate any local, municipal, county, district, state, federal, or global ordinances, writs, degrees, commands, laws or directives! :P
