Buster Poindexter's Energy-Saving Tips

I went outside to start the BBQ. It's electric (boogie woogie) and hasn't been plugged in yet. It also has a nifty thermometer on the lid to let you know when the thing has reached optimal temperature for BBQing, grilling, toasting, whatever. The temperature on the lid before I turned it on was 150 F. In other words, I'm going to make a solar cooker. No cords to trip over.
