One of the many things I like about summer is smelling the good things people are cooking on the grill as you go for a walk around the neighborhood. My brother Dan introduced me to cooking with hickory and apple wood chips as you grill out. This not only adds a very nice flavor to whatever is cooking but the smoke coming off the grill is wonderful to smell too. 
I feel like I am doing a good deed for the neighborhood as I cook out and provide everyone else with the very pleasant smell of wood chips and BBQ Ribs.
Now I have a neighbor a couple houses down from me who keeps his lawn immaculate and tends to entertain and cook out quite often. He grills out with wood chips too. I don't consider myself a very competitive person (altho Cindy may disagree with that) but it seems to me the more I grill out the more my neighbor does too. And as I step it up a degree with the chips I'm sure he does too! Now Cindy I and are empty Nesters and cooking BBQ every nite is getting a little ridiculous. But darn if I'm going to let somebody out smoke me! OK a little competitiveness is good right?
Who says wood chips are just for BBQ on the grill?
If it's good for ribs it could be good for salad right?
Let's not stop at supper....if it's a smoking contest you want...breakfast isn't for the faint of heart...buddy...bring it on!
I am having a tough time keeping the syrup on the waffle though
Next I'm sure I can make some killer popcorn on the grill...I'll let you know.
