Hot dogs is a big hit when we grill. Nothing says summer like bbq hot dogs. Of course that's not the only thing we grill. My favorite is chicken and steak, but we grill hamburgers, potatoes, vegetables, ribs, pork chops and corn on the cob. I've never grilled shrimp before and I LOVE shrimp, I'll have to give that a try. In the summers especially, to keep the kitchen cool, we cook everything out there. If there's something that needs to be put on the stove top, we have one on the bbq so that's not a problem.
