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.
Weber Smokey Mountain 18" Smoker is designed for outdoor cooking.
Some meals are worth planning a day around. Settle into the rhythm of charcoal smoking with ribs, pork shoulder or a weekend experiment, and enjoy a cooking process with its own character.

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.
