[Blindtlk] Grilling question

[David Andrews]

A totally blind person can grill or smoke.  i have a gas grill, and a 
large off-set smoker and use them regularly.  I have also grilled 
with charcoal -- although the gas grill is easier.

There are lots of techniques to do stuff.  One good source is our 
blind cooks list

p.s.  You mentioned a "fear of getting burned."  Just like with an 
oven, a pot of boiling water, a gas stove etc., you can get burned if 
you don't do stuff carefully and correctly, but like with the other 
things there are ways.
