Cooking -- BBQs and Grilling

beYou Grills are interactive tools that enhance your cooking roleplay while offering recipe-free foods that can be used repeatedly (utilizing the meals that are included with it) or provide limited stats (with the cooking meals that can be purchased separately).

You can purchase grills outside in the courtyard near the patio furniture. Grill meals are sold in the same vendor.

## Requirements

* Only the owner can load ingredients. Anyone can use the grill once the food has been loaded by the owner.
* Transfer only
* beYou Hud NOT required
* No level requirement
* Must use foods sold in the same vendor as grills (or included with grill)
* Will **not** work with the family recipe box.

This item does **NOT** give skill points or points toward your profession. It is more for simple role play.

## Grills/Barbecues & Supplies

There are currently only 3 models of grills available:

* beYou Chesapeake Griller BBQ
* The beYou Eggster BBQ Grill
* beYou Winged Flamethrower BBQ

All three models work the same (see the instructions below). The vendor for all three also contains the vendor for the food you will use to cook your barbecue meals. Tools needed for these items are:

* beLit Lighter Fluid - available via the local markets page or you can make it yourself if you have the Refinement profession activated.
* beLit BBQ Charcoal - available via the local markets page or you can make it yourself if you have the Refinement profession activated.

Now that you have everything you need to grill, let's talk about food!

## Food

As mentioned in the intro, beYou interactive grills only work with the food packs provided in the same vendor that you purchase grills from. You can not use recipes to prepare foods on the grill.

There are two types of foods for grills:

### Unlimited Serving Food Pack - No Stats Given

* Included in the same box as your grill.
* Named - Boxed Unltd BBQ Grilled Steak Dinner
* RP only
* Unlimited servings, no stats given

### Dinner Sets (Limited Servings) - Gives Stats

The following dinner sets are included in the same vendor where one purchases the grill.

* beYou 8 Pk BBQ Steaks Dinner Set
* beYou 8 Pk Vege Kabobs Dinner

They offer a small stat boost but make for great interactivity.

## Operating the Grill

Before operating the grill, you will also need to purchase Charcoal & Lighter Fluid, both available next to the grills at the main sim.

**NOTE**: You will not receive cooking points by using the grill.

\*\*\***IMPORTANT**\*\*\* The owner must rez raw food to add to the grill.

If you want to have multiple grills out at the same time by the same owner, make sure they are 5 meters apart BEFORE you try to add raw food to the grill. If you try to load food to more than one grill at 5+ meters apart, then it will ask which grill you wish to add it to; less than 5m will add your food to the closest one.

1. Sit on bbq grill and rezz out charcoal and lighter fluid. If you are a beYou citizen, 25 uses of each item will automatically be loaded into your assets. Uses are unlimited for non-beYou users.
2. Rezz the raw (BBQ) food platter. Choose 'add food,' and a second menu will appear with the name of your bbq grill. If more than one grill is rezzed choose the one you wish to use, and the food will be loaded to that grill.
3. Click the grill to pull up the menu, select 'light grill.' The charcoal bag will appear. Click on the bag of charcoal and it will be added to the grill.
4. Click on lighter fluid. Your avatar will animate pouring the fluid on the grill. After a few seconds, the grill will light.
5. Click on the grill and select 'rezz food.' The food will appear on the grill and begin to cook. A percentage bar will appear above the food indicating how long the food has before it's done. While the food is cooking feel free to try the other animations. Also, it is not mandatory to stay seated on the grill for the food to finish cooking. When the food is done cooking you will receive the cooked meal to your SL inventory via a notification. Please click 'yes' to accept the meal.
6. Rezz the platter to any BeYou table or BeYou Placemat used with a table of your choice.
7. Click on the platter to load the uses. Click again to serve, choosing the place setting where you wish to serve the food and when finished, click your utensil(s) to enjoy!

Just like the plated full dinner meals, you serve the main dish (unless you have changed access to allow someone else to do that) and the person eating will serve their own sides.

The grill will only let you load one meal at a time. Anyone can then cook that meat. If you wish to let others cook just load the meat for them and let them do their thing.

## Reminders

* No recipes are required to use this device.
* Only the owner can load the ingredients.
* The food included with the grill doesn't give stats. Stat-boosting meal packs are available in the same vendor as the grill(s).
