> Will bring it

What if they say yes, and then you spend time bringing the bbq equipment to the workplace (although you didn't want to) and then your manager wonders "what are you doing, this'll set of the fire alarm", and you say "the others wanted to try this"

Provide the context - nicely, of course. If the manager is worth their salt they'll get it, all the way to the point that the BBQ is a team building exercise.

If said boss gets it immediately, I would like to know if he's hiring. ;P

Take 5 min to run it by your manager. "The microwave is broken so we want to being a portable grill to make lunch with Tomorrow."

If your manager has objections that's evidence it was a bad idea.

Maybe it becomes a company tradition instead to have a hill day instead though?
