After reading this debacle I was tempted to take a couple pictures of a fine abode I pass on the way home from work.

Maybe it'll pass.

Oh...then there's the campers at the gas station where folks live year round.

Given all that I said on this topic, it should be very obvious, using only basic reading comprehension, that I don’t like the idea of grilling, barbecuing and lounging in front of my house.

I also told you that even if I did it, my neighbors would complain. Being a neighbor to someone else in my neighborhood, it then follows that I would not like to see people grilling and lounging in a hammock in their front yard. I think it takes away from the aesthetics of the neighborhood and makes it more like a perpetual street festival. So it should come as no surprise that I wouldn’t want to see this in my neighborhood. Your comment says more about you and your own self-image to imply that my not liking this activity amounts to looking down on others.

Having said that, I simply did not and still do not understand, in most cases, why anyone would preferentially choose to grill, barbecue and lounge around in public. I have never seen it in person and would still hope nobody in my neighborhood takes it up.

Happy grilling and barbecuing.

You'd go to jail for hanging out in your driveway and drinking beer? Another reason for me to just stay in the MO.

In the summer, at least once a week the guys come over and we sit in chairs in my driveway drinking beer. Usually we grill or smoke something too. It's a great time, and I always get sad when it gets too cold.

Ya know I never even considered a hammock but what a great idea!

I mean in addition to the big arse wood fired smoker doing it's thing and the pile of firewood and the prep cooler and pop up awning with folding tables I think the swag factor would be awesome.

I know Pat has that cars on blocks thing covered but if you got the hammock tied off between an old Chevy on one end and a busted old Ford on the other swinging back and forth fast enough you could grab some wood off the pile and on the way back over toss it in the firebox much to the shock and awe of the whole neighborhood!

Wonder if a an old camo poly tarp would work for the hammock?

I like your thinking.......

Now I'm thinking of getting back on the Shirley wait list to get a new trailer model and instead of on the backside getting a Santa Maria grill, I'll have them add a hammock. That way straight from garage to driveway to cooking to laying down!

For me, I never used to until we built a new house 5 years ago. It's the typical design with the attached garage facing the street. We hang out in the garage a lot and my grills and smoker are in the garage. I open the door and wheel them out to the driveway and fire it up. I along some of the other posters here enjoy the neighbors and friends driving by and stopping to BS or have drinks. The ironic thing is I have a huge beautiful back yard with no neighbors! Different strokes for different folks I guess.........

Where I live I'd get gawkers out front. Also rabid squirrels, crack addled turkeys, crows and dogs. Lots and lots of unleashed dogs under "voice control".

That being said, I don't care whether someone cooks out front or out back. I'll take that smell any day of the week over the odor of marijuana.

Why either or? Why not both?

Ok, so I have been in a bad mood fighting cold wind, mud and slop all morning trying to get critters fed and other simple chores done....but I have got to tell you, this thread is making me feel a lot better. Out here our closest neighbors are about 1 mile across the field. Other than a school bus, mailman, and occasional UPS truck bringing smiling boxes, most days we don’t get much other traffic on the road. Depending on the wind direction, I generally set up The cooker(s) in front of the garage, shop or machinery shed and like Jeanie, the occasional pit is located wherever the backhoe can dig. Heck, most (warm) days I could probably cook any place on the farm in nothing but my boxers without being seen or in anyway offending anyone....(other than Mrs.M).

We use our back yard here in Perchtoldsdorf because we have no front yard.


Easy.

So you're the kind of neighbor that turns in their fellow neighbor to the HOA because you don't like whatever they're doing, even if there are no rules against it. Do you also report them for not mowing their lawn on the correct day of the week? How about the color of their cars that offends you.
Please stay where you are so a normal neighborhood isn't plagued by your dislikes.

I currently cook in my backyard, and prefer it that way for two reasons: 1) privacy, and 2) my current offset is like 500+ lbs and therefore ain't moving so much as an inch anytime soon unless someone wants to pay for me to get hernia surgery.

BUT, when I lived in a townhome complex, due to HOA restrictions, no open fires were allowed out front, on the (covered) porches, or underneath the carports. My solution was to drag my little cheapo offset out to just past the carport awning, and then sit underneath the carport in a lawn chair. I would often have parties under there. A bunch of us sitting around drinking beer, listening to music (at a respectable volume, and nothing with profanity in it), and 'cueing it up. As it happens, the carport common area was where 99% of the residents came and went, and was basically the defacto "front yard" for us. So in a sense, I was "that neighbor", bringing some much needed flavor and character to the neighborhood. To provide some background, I had lived in that complex for the better part of 15 years, knew all of the residents personally (most of who were elderly folk who were all at least 40-50 years older than myself), and had established myself as the mean-looking but otherwise very polite and respectful neighbor. Yes I would spend many Saturdays in a cutoff shirt, downing beer and slow-smoking ribs in the middle of the carport area while George Strait songs played and my friends hung out...but I was also the guy who would help you unload your groceries, who would jump start your car, or who you could give your housekey to and ask to feed your cats when you went out of town for the weekend to visit your grandkids.

Point is, it is all about context. I bet a lot of the folks grilling up something tasty in their front yard would be willing to share their beer and B.S. with you about the best way to cook a tender brisket if you happened to walk by...regardless of the presence of cars on cinder blocks.


Also: SmittyJonz, your posts on this thread filled me with such Texan pride that it made me want to sing Deep in the Heart of Texas whilst chugging a tallboy Lone Star. Well done, sir, well done.

Reckon there's enough room next to the hammock for a waterslide option that folds down so you can get it back in the garage?

Hook up a garden hose, toss one of them pop up pools at the bottom and we'd be driveway Q'ing like
