Earlier this week, as I was standing over the hot stove cooking dinner, and consequently the hot sink washing dishes in the REALLY hot weather, my mind began to drift to our days in Florida when grilling out on our back patio was an everyday occurence.
This is our patio in Massachusetts…
While it is lovely, and I am grateful that we have it, anyone who says it is okay to grill out there is being sent directly to the fire marshal for some safety lessons!
While my dinner of seared meatballs and corn on the cob came out fabulously, as I wiped the sweat off of my brow, I remembered an email that I received earlier in the week from CSGrills wanting to work with Eat.Live.Blog. Well, I traveled on over to their website to see if it was worth talking about on here.

After some delicious leftovers from Good Cook Doris’s smoker last week, I took a look at the smokers first. They were definitely tempting! But then that little safety bird in my head said forget about it!
But then, there it was, like a stroke of genius! The Napoleon Freestyle Portable Electric City Grill! It is just perfect for my apartment-style grilling needs!
I am not a fan of George Foreman type grills, however this some how looks better…but I will let you know for sure once it arrives!

We also have a place with no viable porch, but I think I’d prefer the Napoleon Freestyle Electric City Grill in Stainless Steel instead, as it’s got a few more features.
Ooooh! Great timing! I do really like the idea of the Napoleon Freestyle Portable Electric City Grill… But I think I would have to go with the Weber Q 100 Portable LP Gas Grill (http://www.csgrills.com/Weber-Q-100-386002.htm).
Since we are moving to a new place with an actual patio, I’d use the gift certificate for a grill!
Love the grill that would be just perfect for any condo or apartment
dweller. Also is a very healthy way to cook meals. What a great deal
$50.00 gift certificate, I am going to check it out for sure. 🙂
We just moved from a place with a yard so our grill and smoker have been cast aside for now since they are not allowed indoors in our new place… dumb rules… ha!
so i would really love to get the Napoleon Freestyle Portable Electric City Grill so it could sit on our counter and we could still get some grilling done!
i tweeted about the contest!
It was so hard to choose.. I think I would love the Brinkmann Smoke’N Grill Charcoal Smoker.. every summer I talk about getting a smoker and this is a great way to get it done! 🙂
And I tweeted (via @E1whoa) 🙂
I’d use it towards Camp Chef Mountain Series 1 Burner Butane Stove
following as @cappytweet and tweeted:

The portable city grll looks perfect for my roofdeck – don’t want the fire marshal beating down my door!
This is a great giveaway. I’d probably go with the Camp Chef 24 Inch Reversible Cast Iron Grill and Griddle for its portability and versatility.
I follow you and tweeted! @acambridgestory
I tweeted it! But also, just in case. I’ll be putting the gift certificate toward the purchase of a Weber 22.5 Inch Plated Steel Kettle Rotisserie in Black Finish. Slow grilling for the win!
Oops, forgot contact info: @mrkelseyroth on Twitter
Here’s what I wold do with it: Chris and I are planning to move in together soon, and I’d love to be able to surprise him with a new grill as a “Welcome to Our New Home” present. (Besides, his old grill needs to be tossed!)

PS: I’d use the certificate towards the Weber Q 300 Gas Grill
(Item number: 184995), which both he and I would LOVE! My tweet went out yesterday 🙂
I’d like to get the Weber One-Touch Gold Charcoal Grill in Black.
