We've been cooking 2-3 meals a week outside for the past couple months now. We stage the food in the morning, do yard work all day and then start the fire pit around 4pm to start cooking over a bed of oak coals.
We do Bedder Chedders and Hamburgers quite a bit but we have been splurging on some proper meals lately. There's a specialty meat shop up the road from us which has rekindled our love of meats again. Everything is vacuum sealed with an awesome marinade.
