I have a decent size deck with my grill and a 6 person patio table & chair set. I love making food and going outside to eat. Anyone here do it often?

 

Every damn day. So much nicer. I've got a larger dining area outside than I do inside, and the weather here is just so perfect year-round you can't pass it up! Plus, I bought a new badass infrared grill on July 4th (clearance, floor model deal) and find every excuse I can to cook on it. Like my waffles this morning were grilled and the water I heated up for the french press was boiled on the grill's side burner. It's THAT bad..

 

All the time in May, a little in June, never in July or August, then a little in September. It's just too damn hot and humid in TN.

by 10a.m. it's already 100º here

 

I do it alot. I have a split level deck, and ever since I had my inground pool put in...Im outside as much as possible.

 

We have a storm drain out front, a creek/greenbelt out back, and a whole LOT of mosquitos. Stupid 'Silent Dawn' b*tch preventin' mah DDT! We can hardly go out around dusk when it's not winter. sad.gif

 

I almost never eat outside. I cook outside quite a bit but even then generally eat inside.

We also have mosquitoes. Mosquitoes are pretty annoying to most people, but I am allergic to them. It feels more like a bee sting than a bug bite and swells up an area the size of a quarter. I pretty much have to avoid them as much as possible.
