Perhaps your brother would consider contributing to the cost of a meal,
seeing as how you're unemployed and all

I'm with you on the gas-grill thing, although many people swear by it. But
I prefer hardwood lump to charcoal briquettes. Soak some chunks of mesquite
or other wood to throw on the fire if you want that added something. I
don't find it adds much when grilling as opposed to smoking; the meat isn't
on the grill that long.
