Because I have no area to grill at my place I had to move to the street :( Starting the grill it immediately burst into flames and it got so hot that a hole burned through the side. I was positive that someone was going to call the fire department for my sidewalk shenanigans.<br/>Luckily I was able to grill up the corn and chicken and we ended up enjoying the rest of the evening drinking ice cold beer and eating an amazing dinner.
