So who resorts to outdoor cooking as the weather gets warmer? We have a small house that's not terribly well insulated so keeping it cool in the warm weather (we hit 93 yesterday 
) is an ongoing battle as it is. The kitchen is on the south side of the house so once you get the stove (even one burner) going in the late afternoon/early evening it just makes a bad situation worse. We don't even think about using the oven. We've been coming up with more and more inventive ways of using the grill but I was thinking of taking it to the next level and maybe purchasing one (or two) of these:

The single burners are about $45-a double can be had for $65 or so, but they're only 15K BTU-there are larger double burners that are 35K BTU each for about $100. If we want to use the burner to heat water for corn on the cob, steamers, heat oil for making wings, or to make a pot of beans, etc...would a 15K burner be ok or would we need something larger? Anyway, what do you make in the summertime outside? Do you stick to the grill, use a smoker, outdoor pit, etc...? Let's see it!
