[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.

OK, DCUM.  So far, your collective opinions overwhelmingly say to show some compassion to the sweet man (he really is sweet) and let him grill.  Then I need more advice because DH just said this morning he doesn't want them over for a long time.  I'm not sure if this has anything to do with the fact that he has what he considers to be a bad weekend meal when they are over, but he's already said they come over too much and I don't want him picking a fight with his FIL over the stupid bbq kettle grill.

What the heck.  Maybe I just need to stick to lasagna or hams.  BO-RING.  I can do those with my eyes shut.  So much for my goals of becoming a master griller by the end of summer.  *sigh*

I also hope DH doesn't start complaining about how infrequently we have bbq's now.  He does love a thick juicy steak.[/quote]

I'm confused, is your FIL over every night?  If so, my answer would change and I'd tell you to tell him you've set a goal of becoming a master griller by the end of the summer, and trade off.

Otherwise, cook other things some nights (there are plenty of foods that take technique but don't use a grill that aren't lasagna or hams or boring, that's ridiculous), and let him grill some nights while you make yummy sides and desserts, and then grill your heart out on the days he's not there.
