I am sure Mike room mates will introduce him to a Florida tradition which is "a Hurricane is coming grab the beer and the BBQ we don't need no stinking supplies we got beer" Welcome to him becoming a redneck evil Vincent price laugh You know how to reach me if y ou need to I got to go to work BUT HERE IS THE MAIN THING DON'T WORRY Until it is a compact level 3 or higher unless you are on the beach than just grab the BBQ and enjoy the rain |

We get the same kind of panic reports here as well. You know if it is serious if the locals (those who've lived here more than five to ten years) actually go out and buy more than bread and milk. Mike doesn't do beer (hates the stuff) but I bet he hit the ABC (liquor) store and included whiskey in the essentials he told me he needed. The BBQ goes without saying. I figure that he is the group clown (wild sense of humor) of his apartment and has grilling experience as well. I won't panic until I see in the news that it actually did major damage. Thanks for the warning though. Mike is more likely to organize a party than to huddle under the sheets. Pam S. |

We get the panic weather reports up here too. We tend to consider it as something to scare the newbies with and just add more allergy meds to our shopping lists. Pam S. allergic to mold spores |

"hopitus" wrote in message ... Just remembered something. In my area of south FL - (much more subject to annoying 'canes than upper state in general) I used to stroll around my cul-de-sac block with my Akita (I remember doing this before Andrew swooshed his outwinds by us in Pompano Beach with 90mph winds, thus forcing me to get a new roof by pulling *cement* (yeah) tiles out of the existing roof) to chat with the neighbors I knew would be partying for the 'cane and casually reminding them - usually male - that BBQing inside a closed house will kill you dead by carbon monoxide. There were always small news reports following a 'cane of the demise of some poor uninformed souls who did this. We, as a holdover from childhood observation of what our parents did during 'canes, always had windows on leeward side of house open a bit (though these days we learned that is of no use to keep one's roof from sailing away, LOL) which would I guess keep partiers and guests from the fumes of carbon monoxide poisoning, but we just ate cold stuff and wanted to stay sober in case of disasters in the yard needing immediate attention from us, such as a neighbor's dog seen wandering outside to be rescued (yeah, we brought him inside with the cats and Akita, but he was isolated to the shuttered big back porch for the duration, LOL - neither the Akita nor the cats liked him). You can go outside during a non-cat 5 (Andrew) 'cane, the wind always "gusts" so you can keep your footing - its not like those disaster "it-could- happen- tomorrow" things they show on weather channel, LOL - but what can hurt or do you in outside is flying big stuff to hit your head, etc. Morale: NO inside BBQing with closed windows in house. Note: we always used charcoal, not gas. I dunno re gas BBQ, no experience. Most gas stoves now have a grill feature, I understand. I'll call and remind him not to grill of any kind indoors. Mike probably has nixed any indoor grilling anyway as he is a sensible type (most of the time) at least safety wise. But I bet the poker game is in full gear and, knowing Mike, he's already put out a search for D&D 3.5 fans. Pam S. |

I now own a "George Foreman" brand electric counter-top grill, and have had fairly good results with it. The flavor of the meat isn't quite the same as you would get on a gas or charcoal grill, but it is close. It also doesn't produce much in the way of fumes, except a little steam. I set it on top of my stove and turn on the vent hood over the stove, so any small amount of moisture or fat droplet that escapes is captured. The fat drains off into a catch-basin that came with the grill. -- John F.

Electric grills don't. The frontman of one of my fave 80's rock bands, Boston, named Brad Delp, committed suicide this year by sitting in his tub in his sealed-up bathroom with two small charcoal grills going. Carbon mono poisoning gives you at worst, bad headache as you leave this earth, and turns you bright cherry red as your cells grab for O2 with their dying effort. Carbon mono has no odor of its own, but is a pollutant in auto exhaust fumes. I know that electric grills don't produce carbon monoxide fumes. However, any type of cooking produces moisture and (depending upon the food) some fat droplets as well. Look at the wall above any cook stove that has been used for years. That is why range hoods are now common in American kitchens. As I was saying, I use my electric grill under the vent hood, with the vent hood turned on, so that I won't have a greasy buildup on the wall (and the electric grill doesn't produce as much greasy steam, anyway, as you would get from cooking techniques such as frying). -- John F.
