Meet the fourth addition to our family... a new grill.... :)

So this is how it all went. Youngun is a hardcore grill master. He gets me all excited about grilling. So I bought a small transportable grill from home depot for $20. Then I found that it's too flimsy and I tossed it. Then I went to Walmart and bought another $20 grill...a little more sturdy. It's nice.... It has a nice air vent on the bottom and the top... Sturdy... Simple... I was good to go and I digged through my freezer and took out some freezer burned pork and grilled it up! It was absoltely nasty! It was probably in the freezer for years... Still I was having fun on my new grill... Here is the picture of my new small grill.


Afterwards, I went upstairs and watched Good Eats about Grilling. The smart cook guy goes on to describe his "perfect grill". A Nice wide grill pad (mine was slim chrome), A thermometer on the hood (mine didn't have it), Air vent (mine had it. YES!), Ability to lower and raise the coals (mine didn't have it)... 1 out of 4... That was just sad... But then, I am not a professional like Youngun, so I was still satisfied.


Later that night, I went to pick up my father from the airport and we dropped by Fry's to pick up some steak and lo and behold, there were grills on display. I looked around and I found this beauty...it had all four qualifications mentioned above and I had to get it! The grill itself cost $88...and I paid another $45 for the smoker addition.... but it is a thing of beauty... I grilled my steak in the bad boy and it tasted goooood..... Too bad Nathan can't enjoy a steak yet.... Ellie had some... I included the picture of our fourth addition to our family...

The little round dial on the top is the thermometer on the hood...

The little handles on the sides raises and lowers the charcoals....
The grills are nice and wide with lots of surface area...
The smoker on the side can be used to heat the meat indirectly or smoke the meat.
The airvent on the side can be used to let the air in and carry the heat to the meat...

See? Four out of four.... I don't really like to throw parties...but now that I have the grill... I think I have to... :)
