It's a griddle, not a grill, but that's even better.I don't want to step on Tara's plans...but....if you can commit that grill - everything else will fall in place pretty easily.
As to carry-ins....I would say that can be detailed after a head count but we will let Tara decide that.
I can donate some non-bambi hamburger also...
I can cook fish, bacon, pancakes... on the griddle.
Can't do that on a grill.
The griddle has been committed for the day, as long as it will be used.
I don't want to drag it an hour from home for nothing, but would enjoy cooking burgers for Tim's friends and family.
