We grill January through December, several times a week. My husband does the grilling, while I get food ready inside.

We try to grill out every weekend in the summer and atleast once during the week. My husband and I both take turns grilling, if there is alot going on in the house to be cooked that is when he will stand out side and "watch" the grill !

We try to grill out every Saturday night when the weather is nice during Spring, Summer and into Fall. We can't grill during the week due to our work hours but so enjoy it on Saturday nights. My husband does the grilling and I take care of getting the rest of the food ready inside. I also help him prepare the grill and get it ready to go. Our grill is not that big but it does the job! Plus when it's hot, it helps keep the house cool by grilling outside and not heating up the oven which saves on electricity!

I grill several times a week- and I do all the cooking- since I am single. I put my meat, vegetables and even rolls on there.

Lately never because the propane tanks is out and we never think about filling it until we want to use it.

We grill outside during the summer, usually burgers or steak, but sometimes hot dogs. Average once or twice a month, depending on how busy we are. On the George Foreman, we sometimes grill every week, either pork chops or chicken breasts. Outside it's my roommate's boyfriend; indoors it's me.

For us, it depends on what's going on during the week. I can grill a few times a week, or we can go weeks without doing it. Both my husband and I share the grilling responsibilities.

Thanks for offering these certificates. My husband loves to grill out and will do it every chance he gets, which now averages 1-2 a week. When we lived in Clayton, years ago, we kept the grill in the shed, and rolled it out every weekend. I remember several times, during the winter, looking out the back window of our house to see him curled up in the shed, wearing a jacket and gloves, grilling steaks while he shivered. Now, that is a diehard griller!

About everyday in the Summer time. Because my husband loves to grill out.

My Husband grills during the summer. However, I just had my first grilling lesson this past Friday, so I'm on my way to becoming a "Grill Master".

When the weather is nice, we grill out about 1-2 times/week. My husband usually grills. I recently bought a stove top cast iron grill and use it when my husband doesn't want to grill.

Lovestosave

My husband usually grills out about twice a week maybe three times a week.

The only reason we moved to NC was to be able to grill 2-3 times a week, even in the winter! I grill the beef and the wife grills the veggies!

I used to grill out a couple times a week then my poor lil grill broke so after a genorous donation of another grill from a neighbor we are back in business this season. While I'm not good at doing the meats which I leave to my loving boyfriend, I do tackle the veggies on the grill and of course the sides, fixins' and dessert in the kitchen. Cheers to grilling season!!!

Well, the weather is getting warmer. I usualy grill when we have the taste for sometghing grilled (turkey burgers, hotdogs, chicken). It is usually me and my husband sharing the duties!

newssaavy72
April 26, 2012 10:24 a.m.

I do the grilling for the house about 2-3 times per week. Charcoal is the only way my friends, grilling with gas just doesn't taste the same. Charcoal allows me to unwind, have a few cold ones and slow cook food the way it is supposed to be done.

We grill out at least twice a month in the winter and usually several times during the week in the summer. My husband usually does the grilling while I work on the side dishes!

unipride

I grill out as much as possible when the weather cooperates since it is faster, tastes better, and does not heat up the house. I do the grilling at our house.

LAXMom12

I grill at our house about 2 times a week! We love Dickey's Barbecue! Thank you so much for the chance to win!!

We used to grill "out" all the time, then I got a Foreman grill, now we usually grill "in". Soooo much easier and faster. Yeah it's better outside but being business owners with kids, school, activities etc, it's a great way to get a healthy (usually edible) meal on the table in less than 10 minutes. The thing we grill is the thing that Faye said was on sale lol!

lilypony

We grill out approx. 2x's/month. My husband does the grilling!

Our family grills out at least 2 times a week, and it is my husband who does the grilling, and an awesome griller at that!

When summer hits we grill out 2 or 3 times a week. If it is a weeknight then I am at the grill so it is ready when my husband gets home from work, and the weekends...it is all his (so I can get a break from the kitchen)!

mmsappington

We grill occasionally and usually my husband is in charge.

I have a George Foreman if that counts as a grill. It works great for pork chops and breakfast meats. Got it as a wedding gift almost 12 years ago. The spouse is gone but the grill is still kicking!

During the warmer months, it could be as much as twice a week that we grill. My husband is the self proclaimed "Grill Master". So of course he won't let me near the grill.
