Chillin’ and Grilling’ and Saying Goodbye

Please welcome the new addition to our family, Weber Summit.  It joins its siblings, 1990 Weber charcoal red kettle, 1991 Weber charcoal blue kettle, Weber charcoal GoAnywhere, Weber propane GoAnywhere, Traeger Pro-22 pellet smoker (recently acquired very gently used and not yet cooked on it), and a Masterbuilt 30 electric smoker—a great beginner unit if someone wants it for free.   Truth be told, I even think I may still have a stainless steel folding backpacking camp grill with my tent camping gear.  And I don’t even think of myself as a “BBQ Guy.”

It was time to replace the 21+ year old island mounted JennAir grill that I can’t find parts for anymore, and the island had been exposed to the weather the most of its time here.   We bought it on clearance months before our house was finished when BBQs Galore agreed to hold onto it until the house was finished.  Just on the main grill we now have more than double the cooking space so it’s going to be a lot easier to prepare proteins and veggies and have them ready at the same time.  

Rest easy “Jenny,” you served us well.  

     

Nothing fancy for the first cook, ground turkey patties.  We put them on shredded lettuce, and top it with a delicious garlic aioli sauce Kari whips up.
