Heather said: "Congrats! I always liked making shish kabobs on the grill. It's that time of the year :) Grilled corn is also excellent. Soak em in water for a couple of hours before tossing them on hot coals!"

Valalor said: "well i just bought a gas grill and all last week i used it every day.. expcept this last one cuz i'm on call and no time to cook food. :( but after tomorrow, back at it.. love grilling, cuz you can get very low cal merinade and grill it without oil and got a low fat (as long as you use lean meat) meals... and grilling potatoes on the grill.. yum. trying to not use the stove much this summer cuz i wana keep my electric bill down cuz i got an inwall ac and it boosts my bill from like $36/month in winter to like $120 in summer :("

lakelady said: "Oh, a grill's a FABULOUS idea! You'll love it! It saves AC, the food is low fat, you save a messy kitchen, and except for stews I can't think of ANYTHING you can't cook on it! (don't forget corn ears wrapped in their husks and grilled! YUM!)"

You can GROW more corn than you'll ever want! If you're a city dweller, (oh, right, south dakota, never-mind) you can even grow it in pots on the balcony. It actually looks kinda cool!"

**Shorti** said: "I love to grill, unfortunately we now live on a 3rd floor balcony, so thats a bit out of the question, but we grill when we go camping! one of my favorite grill recipes, (besides just throwing veggies on there) are pocket potatoes: Slice a potato into circles (works best on smaller potatoes like the white ones), slice a sweet onion into slivers. Take aluminum foil and make a closable pouch about 3inches by 4 inches. In a small bowl combine some low fat/fat free mayo, salt, pepper, garlic, and parmesian cheese. Place potatoes and onions into small pouches making sure there are about 2 layers per pouch. Add a spoonfull of mayo mixture on top, Seal pouch, then grill! After 15 minutes or so you have tasty potatoes that will satisfy!! yummmmie!"
