The description of your solo grilling sounds so tempting that I wish you lived close enough that I could invite myself over to grill with you. I wonder if you were to make it a habit of doing solo grilling (because you are worth it) and share descriptions and/or images on line, if some of your more local friends will feel the same? If so, perhaps the grill would get regular use for your enjoyment, and random use for friends that is slightly more often than you would have thought to invite them if they weren't replying "I'll be right over" to your posts? (Writes one who had friends over yesterday, and so we used our outdoor pizza oven for the first time this year, and was reminded that we generally use it one or two times a year. We need to install that back door, so we don't have to walk all the way around the house to use it.)
