I don't mind grilling when it's chilly, or a bit rainy, but I do mind
grilling in the almost pitch dark.
I finally bought a grill light. Now I'm Happy, Happy, Happy.

This afternoon I'm taking my new wireless BBQ thermometer set for a
test drive. It has a thermometer for the grill temperature and one for
the meat.
No, I'm not going to run off and join the BBQ circuit ;-)

Well, look at you! I draw the line at grilling in the rain or snow.

I'm surprised you didn't get one of these!

I've got one of those, not exactly the same model, but a
headlamp nonetheless. It was about $5 from Harbor Freight
and was quite useful when I had to put new guts in the second
bathroom toilet that sits in an alcove last year.

Wouldn't it make more sense and be far more beneficial to simply
illuminate the entire patio area... I have the 70W unit and the light
it emits is fantastic, lights up about 3 acres like a sunny day:
https://www.amazon.com/Hyperikon-Fix...02Z Y1DV2EY9H
I added the sensor to make it an On at dusk Off at dawn fixtu
https://www.amazon.com/Westek-SW103C...WND9S927NT7RDX
That fixture includes a side shield so as not to annoy neighbors but I
didn't attach it as I have no neighbors close enough.
If your yard isn't very large this will light up a 100' X 100' area
like daylight at 14 W, I have two, one lights up my deck and
surrounding area and the other lights my side yard where I keep my
tractor during winter. I've used these 24-7 for three years now and
they work perfectly. This is a dusk to dawn fixtu
https://www.amazon.com/MaxLite-MLSEC...g+b y+maxlite
Lights my entire side yard beautifully and just 14 Watts:

I'm sure I'd not want to be in darkess wearing that miner's lamp for
outdoor cooking, would probably make me dizzy having to constantly
spin about to illuminate my surroundings so as not to walk into
stuff... a battery powered LED lantern would be much better.
I have this one to use during power outages, lights a room as well as
a 100 W bulb, placed on the grill's side shelf I'm sure it would
illuminate your entire grilling area:

My Weber has a handle mounted light that goes on when you lift the lid.
.. Good, but not great. The head mounted light would be better.

Anyone with a modicum of common sense would place the grill and
lighting fixture so that there are no interfering shadows. Placing an
LED fixture so it points to the grill from behind the one cooking will
illuminate it and the entire surrounding area better than a dinky
miner's lamp and without shadows on the grill... the lid won't cast
any shadows on the grate if the light is placed behind you and to the
side... placing the fixture so it strikes the grill lid as you would
do is as low IQ as placing a bicycle headlight backwards so it shines
in your face. Even on a bright sunny day the lid will cast shadows on
the grates unless one moves the grill and positions it so the sun
strikes from behind and from the side of the one cooking. The LED
fixture on my garage that lights my driveway can be swiveled 180º
horizontally and 90º vertically... there are many configurations of
LED fixtures... some are designed to be placed overhead on a building
or a pole, or on a tree, used like a lampost, so it shines directly
over the grill so there are no shadows regardless which way one sets
the grill or where the cook stands. I have this 70 Watt monster way
up high on my barn, thirty feet up, there are no shadows:
http://www.superiorlighting.com/LED_...101caal068.htm
HTF do you come up with such idiocy... don't answer, I already know...
the dwarf favors miner's lamps because all his life he's dreamed of
being a proctologist but since he wasn't nearly smart enough to get
into medical school he decided instead to be the asshole. LOL
