Summer is coming. And to get ready, Coral and I went down to Capital Iron to buy a barbecue.
She said it is pretty funny how guys always like to grill food. But with the weather turning as it is… its hard not to. We’ve had our little Weber Q 200 for two days, and I’ve created two great grilled feasts. I think Easter dinner tomorrow will be on the grill as well (or maybe we’ll do it on Monday).
We ended up getting this little portable beast after our old full sized until gave up the ghost late last summer. My brother and his wife have the same (or similar) model and he loves it. Said it would be so worth the $250.
It has a cast iron grill, which ensure it cooks very well. Its gets nice and hot and sears the meat fantastically. However, cast iron has some cleaning and maintenance challenges. You need to season the grill with oil before and after use. That might take some time to learn and get good at. But the quality of the heat and the small size makes this BBQ ideal for my life as a condo owner and my aspirational life as an adventurer. Now I need a tent and maybe a sleeping bag or mat, and I can finally get back to camping!
At the very least… when Coral starts getting weekends off agin, it will be WEST! to Jordan River for a beach/BBQ day. That I can foresee in my future.
Go with yourself.
