this cop and his supervisor should be fired. these cops are supposed to be professionals. being professional means treating people, even difficult people, with respect. one of the major problems with law enforcement is that they get para-militaristic training where everyone not in police uniform is treated "the enemy" and treated accordingly . well guess what? most people have nothing against cops, until they or there loved-ones or someone they know gets treated like dirt. it is cops like this that cause the general public to not only disrespect them, but to actively dislike them. basic rule: treat people like you'd like to be treated. if the cops want the public on their side they need to smile, be polite, say please and thank you. act like a professional. that goes a very long way. earn your over priced salaries!
the charcoal grill allows for wood/smoke flavor, is low tech, more primal, less expensive and easy to clean.
wood/smoke flavor: get a chimney starter. put coals/wood in top, paper in bottom, light paper; then prep food and have wine. 10 minutes later, fire will be ready.
low tech, more primal: you get to look at fire, and fire is cool. major mistake people make while cooking with fire and too high of heat. don't use too many coals. let the fire go down before cooking. leave one side of the barbie without coals so you can move the food off fire if needed.
less expensive = good.
easy to clean: this is important, because you want wood/smoke flavor, not burnt grease flavor. just use a hose to clean out the body of the webber. as for the grill, get a grill cleaning brush available anywhere. take the light weight grill out of webber and through it down on the deck, patio or piece of plywood next to grill, whatever. scrub both sides of grill. put grill back on webber. take damp cloth or paper towel and wipe down grill. take paper towel with a tad bit of oil and wipe down grill again. whole process takes less than five minutes.
in the summer i do this 3 or more times per week. it's easy and yummy.
