Hot dogs or Brats - Page 6

Most recently brats, but given my druthers, I'd have voted for both.

I consider brats a special occasion grillin' food. They are something that I love, but don't usually get shelf space in the fridge. I happened to grab some during my last trip to the market because I had a hankering for them, but since my apt complex disallows real grilling, the George Foreman version is kind of an anticlimax. They get crispish, have grill marks, but lack the tasty, smoky flavor that I favor.

Try basting 'em with Liquid Smoke (tm).

I will not use artificial flavoring. It is anathema.

It is a sign of the epoxyclips.

I do not like it, Sam I am.

I would not use it on a ham.

Bad, urbane, bad.

No help to you, Wolf, but back when I was an apartment dweller, I would refuse to sign with a complex that did not allow grilling -- and I made sure to let them know why I wouldn't rent there.

Around here, if I recall correctly, it was a city code specifying X number of feet from dwelling, and the apt made you sign to that effect. Which I took to mean, if you can set up a grill that is outside X number of feet from any unit that would be okay. For example, I have seen people grilling at the far corner of the gates around their apt complex. And...don't they have grills at the pool area?

My condo forbids charcoal fueled grills on the unit balconies but allows gas fueled ones. Something to do, I believe, with a perceived fire hazard if burning coals are spilled on wooden balcony floors. How they view the risk of an entire propane bottle going up in one fell whoosh -- remoter? -- I don't know.
