Freshly-lit charcoal in our little tiny Weber grill. I got a super-sweet, huge, auto-ignition, 4-burner, stainless-steel gas grill (see image at right) as an incredibly generous graduation present from L's kind siblings, but sadly at the time we wanted to grill something we had moved the grill to our new house while all the food remained at my mom's house. So we used the little Weber and it worked fine. Not as simple, but still tasty.

My new grill is super-sweet, though. I've only been able to use it once for burgers and hot dogs, but that one time was a joy. It lights like magic and cooks like a, um, charm. According to this comment thread, recent models have had some problems, but it sounds like those have been fixed so we should have no problems. Now if I only had about 40 friends to invite over for a cookout... ;-)
