Something strange happened last night. Neighbors started poking heads around...

So last night when I got home from work, first thing I did was fire up the JJP to grill up some chicken and beef fajitas and caramelize some onion slices for a dinner pre-cook for later this week.

Oddly enough I guess I was early, as I mentioned I grill / cook in my front yard because the back yard is just too small... I noticed a couple of times that the neighbors kids kept coming over to the common yard line between houses, and just kept looking around... I figured it out after a couple of minutes, the kids were REALLY liking the smell of the cooking fajitas!...

So I picked up my phone and called the neighbor, let him know what was going on and laughed a bit. Then I told him, if he wanted to as soon as I was done, he could do some grilling on my kettle as the coals were going to still be plenty hot and those kids looked hungry.

Sure enough, after I finished mine up, the neighbor came over with some marinaded skirt steak and got after grilling up some fajita for his brood...

I should mention this is the guy that has the JJP that inspired me to buy mine!

Long story short, my family has enough fajita to get through the rest of the work week, the neighbors kids got a good meal, and I got someone else to clean the grate on my grill! Oh and I got a Shiner Bock out of the whole deal so win win win!

Very cool story. Many a time my neighbor looks over the fence to see what I have on the grill.

LOL.... Kind of the same as the fence peeking, just, front yard. Again, strange yard layout in my neighborhood. Good thing my neighbors are pretty cool...

That is a great story.  The smell of fajitas cooking gets them every time.

I swear I've seen someone grill out front on an episode of King of the Hill.
I've seen it every once in a while, even in neighborhoods with big back yards.  An old guy across the street from my mom drags his barbecue out from in back onto the driveway in front of the house.  I think he likes to watch the occasional car or person go by, say hello, etc.

Some are a bit like what you know as a skunk, an opossum, or maybe even a bear.
Others might be more like a songbird that are nice to listen to....for a while.

Couple weeks ago my Neighbor looked over their deck and said... "Whats cooking today?"  Ribs I say,  2 racks of spares...  Took over 1/2 Rack and said enjoy!! 

Thats what makes Smoking / Grilling so awesome.  It introduces PPL to the world of Que!! 

Grate story!!
