Give a weeknight a different ending
Bring dinner outside instead of keeping everyone in separate rooms. Prepare your ingredients before heating the grill, then make the cook part of the time you spend together.
Big Green Egg Large Ceramic Charcoal Grill is designed for outdoor cooking.
Grill a favorite steak, experiment with baking or settle in for a slow cook. The Large EGG is a versatile foundation for an outdoor kitchen shaped around the way you enjoy cooking.

Bring dinner outside instead of keeping everyone in separate rooms. Prepare your ingredients before heating the grill, then make the cook part of the time you spend together.
Build the meal around one main dish and a few sides. Keep raw ingredients, cooked food and serving tools organized so you can concentrate on the food and the conversation.
Set aside time to try a recipe you have saved, practice temperature control and serve the result at your own table. A dedicated outdoor cooking setup makes that ritual easier to repeat.
