Jamie,
I have some vague questions and expect only subjective answers.
Do you have any advice for what is the best environment for prep in barbecue and grilling? I know much comes down to personal preference, but how would a trained chef like you approach prep for barbecue? For instance, do you wheel a Boos butcherblock cart outside, one like we see you in the WeberNation videos? Is it worth the investment? Do you keep the same set of knives available? If so, which do you find indispensable?
My frustration comes in trying to carry everything outside--tongs, rubs, etc.--only to realize I've forgotten something, which means opening and closing two sets of doors each time. I've tried lists, but they are too fussy and don't seem to work.
We're rethinking our kitchen here and planning a backdoor exit to the outside barbecue area. I want to avoid those simple frustrations which mount into big ones later on, especially since I get to remake the kitchen, or, rather, my part of it! I'm trying to avoid later regrets and buyer remorse.
