Who runs the grill?

[Kettle]

I know the consensus, at least from men, is that the grill is the man's domain, but why? Its still cooking. Just with fire instead of an oven or stove top.

I thought about this last night while enjoying a beer and the weather on my patio, and watching the wife grill our chicken. A meat that I often leave under cooked because I am partially color blind. I do the same with pork. When I grill everything but beef is cut before it leaves the grill, and the wife has to look at it. We don't want to overcook it either you know.

So I am fine with her taking the grill duties, and I don't feel like less of a man because of it. In fact I feel a little more catered to and served. That's how it is at my house. You?

Male chauvinism and societal norms dictate it's ok for a man to cook if it's on the grill?

I am the grill master of my family so I grill anytime there's a family cookout no matter whose house it's at.

I run the grill at my house, but then again I do most of the cooking anyway. I could care less if my wife wanted to fire up the grill and cook something (though she has absolutely zero experience grilling).

i've just always heard that a woman has no place at the grill, but i disagree. i've actually seen men keep their women from doing anything on the grill, and also women refuse to do it with a, "no thats your thing" excuse.

I do most of the cooking indoors, and we don't own a grill yet. Mostly because I have expensive taste in grills.

i got a $300 dollar gas one from walmart last year. it works, but i can see why people spend much more than that.
