Dave - are you allergic to the smell of burning wood, smoke, BBQ or something? I can always make something special for you, in accordance with your preferences. As a cook/Chef, in the end, it's not about me, it's about the guest.
Also - if you don't want to make it a 10 hour day, you can always overnight at my place. Just putting it out there for you if you want to do this.
If we need to wait a couple of months, that's cool. It's pretty darned hot out these days as well. Maybe we can shoot for late August or September? Let me know.
