Shit. I'm in the middle of a dumb husband moment aren't I?

[retrowire]

Begged my wife all day. I wanna grill! The weather's great! I've been wanting to play with my new grill while having a beer since Friday! Please!

Yay! She said yes!

Enjoying my beer outside right now with the grill at 500 degrees while listening to oldies on my Bluetooth speaker...

But a thunderstorm is approaching. Shit.

[madinmaryland]

1. Heh! SW Ohio and going to fire up the grill in a few

minutes. London Broil with corn on the cob.

[lapfog_1]

2. 500??? Isn't that a bit too warm?

[retrowire]

3. Yeah I'm preheating.

Then dropping to 300 for grilling. It's charcoal. Plus, the rain is helping cooldown! LOL

[blm]

8. whatcha grillin'?

.

[retrowire]

11. Vegan burgers and hot dogs.

They were superb.

[rurallib]

17. what brand of vegan burgers & dogs?

We like Field Roast, but it can be hard to get.

[retrowire]

18. Beyond Meats Beyond Burger and lightlife dogs

The beyond meat beyond burger is the best vegan burger ever made. Hands down. It just hit the market in all Whole Foods this month I believe.

[rurallib]

19. looks like we got some nearby - will try - thanks!

[forgotmylogin]

15. It's a guy thing to play with the new equipment.

It goes to 11? Let's see what she can do (WHUMPH) oooooh!

[Ilsa]

4. Better get that meat and veggies cooked!

I usually turn the burners back around 400 and start loading my Hebrew Nationals on.

[lapfog_1]

5. 300 to 325 with a longer cook cycle...

unless I'm feeding the hordes...

Also, that's the right temp for the corn in the top shelf so it roasts nice and slow and the garlic butter has time to do its magic

But I'm no expert griller.

[billh58]

7. How about

one degree for 325 hours?

[Ilsa]

10. I turn them back, and 350-375 is the typical temp I cook at,

With some nice charring here and there. And my family likes the hotdogs to be nearly well done, not juicy.

[bluedigger]

6. Generally speaking, that's an "Asked and answered" question.

[luvMIdog]

9. speaking from one female point of view- I generally overlooked those moments

and only hit on the larger moments

[TEB]

12. Ok you and my wife know each other

What is it some kind of secret female society that women belong too.

[luvMIdog]

13. lol we pick our battles :P

[TEB]

14. Ok friend just act casual and like you know what you're doing

30 years marriage I have been in your shoes. Remember we're not dumb to quote my wife we're challenged, Man meat and fire I as well am avid grill chef.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

16. It is better to have grilled and lost...

[Generic Brad]

20. If you can't stand the heat...

....crack open another beer. Grill on, brother!

[demmiblue]

21. She is not your mom, lol!

Prep, grill, clean up and you'll be fine.

If rain comes, well, c'est la vie... you tried!

[UTUSN]

22. " 'a' beer since Friday"?!1

[retrowire]

23. Wanting a beer since Friday! Lol nt

[Solly Mack]

24. Nah. My husband has grilled during a snow storm.

In Colorado.

Sometimes, you just gotta grill.

[politicat]

26. When the choice is setting off the smoke alarms because the oven broiler does that or

Coat, hat and gloves, the choice is pretty easy.

Our grill is on the balcony off the kitchen. It's not that hard to duck out, start it up (ours is gas), duck in, then repeat through the steps.

[Solly Mack]

28. My husband just wanted to play with his grill. So he did. In the snow. Wearing shorts.

It was July. Colorado can be weird that way.

It wasn't snowing when he started and then it was.

[petronius]

25. I believe Hamlet spoke of the dumb husband moment:

" If it be not now, yet it will come—the readiness is all."

But there's nothing wrong with a DHM that involves beer and a new grill, regardless of the weather!

[Warpy]

27. Next time check the radar at NOAA if your

local teevee station doesn't have it online.

It's not dumb if the food gets done and it's good. You'll dry.

[democratisphere]

29. Pull down the grill hood and keep on cooking on all fronts.

Hope your Bluetooth Speaker is waterproof. Good luck!

[Thor_MN]

30. You have done many more worse things...

And you wife has them all memorized, cataloged for use when needed.
