That's cool that a lot of folks use it, I was thinking it was more of a novelty thing. I like the idea of a family movie night around the campfire, but our family is the 2 of us and our dogs. Though there will be times we'll have some a relatives along for the ride too. We're also not sports fans so we wouldn't gather round the TV to watch football. I'm just thinking it for us it would be an extra cost for something we rarely use if ever. However I would love to have an outside kitchen and/or slide out gas grill though :)
