For me that's the number one benefit of a grill. Even if I do everything right there still might be smoke and our smoke alarm is too sensitive. Outside I can take more chances.

I already have the grill, a cast iron griddle and a rotisserie, so with the dutch oven I will have covered most types of cooking.

I really want to do what they do on those cooking shows with the sandwich makers, where they throw in rice and frozen chicken breasts and have a meal in 15 minutes.

I'm thinking of taking oil and seasoning and sauteing some onions and peppers in the dutch oven. Then I would pour in some cooking wine, scrape any bits off of the bottom, and throw in frozen chicken breasts. Put on low heat and I should have dinner in a short time.
