Everyone knows that #grilling for a #cookout can help keep one’s home comfortable in the summertime by eliminating the heat coming from the oven or cooktop. But it’s also an energy-efficient and cost-effective choice! A single air-conditioning unit can use up to 5.14 kWh per hour, according to Beltrami Energy Cooperative, a Minnesota-based utility. “If you are looking to maintain a cool vibe and lower your AC’s energy consumption, head outside to the grill,” it says. “Rather than generating heat indoors, the heat is dispersed outside, reducing strain on the AC, which ultimately lowers utility bills.” #NoSweatSummerCookout
