Lighting to cook by

I always hated grilling after dark. Artificial lights never make the food look right for judging doneness. So mostly I just avoided grilling after dusk.

Then I discovered instant read probe thermometers. Now I seldom grill without one, and now what the food looks like doesn't mean much. It's done when the thermometer says it's done, and the flashlight in my cell phone is all the light I need.

Won't help much with marauding bears though. Just pick a fight if your beans are at risk. I mean, heck, some things are worth fighting for.

You might try grilling in the day time, works wonders.
