Summertime is barbecue time, but usually most regular grills are eyesores in most patios and fancy grills are often ostentatious. For these two reasons I did not own a grill until this year. My recently acquired charcoal grill is not an eyesore nor ostentatious. It actually beautifies my small courtyard in a very obvious yet discreet way. The other day, as friends looked out the patio door, I asked them: “How do you like my barbecue grill?” I saw their eyes scanning the narrow courtyard where two Adirondack chairs and a small table with a potted plant sat. Frustrated, because they could not see it, they asked: “Where is it?” “Right there”, I said while pointing to the potted plant. Check it out!
