We keep the enormous (new one this summer: they get bigger every time the Man gets a new one) propane barbecue thing on the deck, and use it rain or shine all summer to cook almost all meat. We seldom parboil, except for chicken bits. The thing has a rotissary grilling flamer on the back, so we do roasts and chickens on it as well.

Every time I light it I expect it to blow up - I've never been comfortable with propane.
