Electric grills

In case you didn't notice, I love to cook. I especially love to cook on the grill. I have two cast iron grill pans (large and small) that I use for cooking indoors on the stovetop.
But my all time love is grilling outdoors. I did that a lot when I was living in my house. But when I sold my house and moved into a rental apartment, I was crushed when I saw the big "NO CHARCOAL GRILLS" sign in the rental office.
What do you mean "No Grills?" Grilling is the all-American pass time. I would grill even in the rain.
But the fire marshall prohibits charcoal grills on the balconies that are made of wood.
So who's bright idea was it to build a balcony out of wood? Concrete is much better.
But I was determined to not let this be the last word.
After doing research and visiting Home Depot, Lowe's, Target, Wal-mart and Fortunoff, I found my answer to the "No Grills" restriction.
Electric grills. I am not talking about the George Foreman Grills. I'm talking full size electric grills.
Home Depot, Wal-mart and Lowe's carry electric grills that can be converted into a conventional charcoal grill and smoker. Wal-mart also carries a smaller electric grill in case your balcony is small or if you don't want to deal with a full size grill. The retail price is $35 to $60.
Now my outdoor cooking traditions will continue. If you live in an apartment complex, check with your rental office first before you purchase your grill.
Happy grilling.
