    wow thats hard to believe, as much time as one spends sitting in stops and buying their products u would think that was a pretty extreme move by the manager, cant imagine that is a very common occurance? maybe they already "pushed he managers buttons" some how. :biggrin_25513:

    A stepdeck with 4 feet of empty space works great as a table to place the grill on. Just be careful of drivers coming over with rancid meat that has been in their cooler and offering you some.

    If you use charcoal PLEASE let it go out and dispose of it in the trash and not on the asphalt alson with the plates and other trash! I've watched too many BBQ'ers leave their trash right there in sight of a trash can!

    Every time I get laid over somewhere I break out the grill....Back row barbecues are the best!

    Why? I don't care if its against the policy at my company, i just aint gonna let other drivers from the same company see it if it isnt! And there's plenty of skateboards with placards. I saw one with radioactive placards a couple months ago.

    Sweetie, I'm gonna tell ya something that others probably have already...
    Cook your food on that portable grill as often as you can!!

    The more you can save by cooking your own food, the better, and might I say the healthier, as well.

    P.S. The truck stop might "frown" upon you cooking and eating your own food...but let's face it...your tax dollars, and your buying fuel, FAR outweighs the bucks they lose from you cooking and eating your OWN food.

    Story Time: Grillin Time

    Was at the Hook doing a restart. Met up with a lady skater and traded war stories. Another skater comes up and joins in. Then an old school lowboy. Then a rooster cruiser. The lady mentioned going to WalMart and the other skater mentioned firing up the grill. I hand the lady a $20 and she offers the other skater a ride to WalMart.

    They come back with groceries and the skater comes back with a free 6 week old puppy. Party Time!
