Not for me!!! I hate standing in front of a grill, waiting, waiting, can I turn the meat over now, don’t let it get black, oh crap, the chickens on fire!!! Or, I open the lid just at the moment the wind blows in my direction, and I get a face full of smoke, and I am coughing and choking, what fun, NOT. But, the trouble for me starts before I even get to the cooking part. LIGHTING THE GRILL, turn the little knob, click, click, click and NO whoosh of flame lighting. Okay, turn off the knob, check the tank, turn the knob again, click, click…Turn it off, because gas is escaping and it is going to blow up. Now I am afraid to light it. Yes, there is a lot of cursing going on at this point. I run back inside the house, to check the vegetables and potatoes on the stove. Run back outside, hope the gas has dissipated and I start over. Finally get it lit, get the chicken on, go back inside check the other food on the stove, run back outside open the lid, well just refer back to the beginning of this story, you know it goes downhill from here. SMARTGRILL, has solved my problem. For a mere $6,999.00, the GRILL OF THE FUTURE, lights at the sound of your voice. Yelling at the GRILL, “light, damn it, light “ will actually work now. OR…. … you can use an APP on your cell phone to get the BBQ to light. THERE TRULY IS an app for everything. Or, I can just wait for my daughter to BBQ her dinner (she lives next door), run over, throw on a couple of pieces of chicken and she yells back when it has finished cooking. WORKS FOR ME…!!! I have to remember to tell her I love her the BEST…BBQ season is here…. So ITALIAN TRIVIA QUESTIONS [Type the recipient name] 1. IN WHAT CATEGORY WAS ATNOBEL PRIZE AWARDED TO LUIGI PIRANDELLO? 2.
