[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  13:06, yes, there is more going on here.  DH says he's had it up to here with Dad's bad cooking.  I need to make the weekends when they come down as pleasant as possible for everyone to prevent some blow out.  If DH feels that we are catering to his father's desire to wreck good meat, he's going to limit their visits.  And I can't grill during the week at all, or weekends when there's work for one of us, or the weather's bad, etc. etc.  It's those weekends with good weather when both DH and I have the days free.

As to thermometers, learn something new everyday!  I didn't know that thermometers are not used for kettles.  So you DO have to learn to eyeball it?  See, I have a lot of work ahead of me...

As to takeout, I'm trying to avoid that.  Despite my culinary aspirations, due to work I eat enough prepared foods during the week during working hours.  I just can't do it on those precious lazy weekends as well.  [/quote]

It's not that thermometers can't be used for kettles, or that I'm ahead of you, it's that most people who use a kettle grill (that is, a less expensive grill), are casually throwing on some meat, and most of them will eyeball it.  I'm sure the food would turn out better if you used a thermometer, but in my experience, the people who would invest in equipment to make their grilling better are also investing in more sophisticated grills.
