    Looks like y'all had a LOT of fun on Memorial Day! I am SO GLAD Gary found a grill that he likes. The old one had indeed seen better days. Come ON grilled beef! Grilled pork! Grilled chicken! Bacon, eggs and pancakes for breakfast on the new griddle! Love a man who loves to grill/griddle!

    I really LOVE the way Mel voiced her opinion to Gary about which grill to buy. Wow. Too bad more women don't know how to communicate that way. You could tell and see it in her facial expressions how much she wanted Gary to be 100% happy with his decision. I love this couple's love for each other!!!

    Personally I'm a charcoal kind of guy, but I was impressed to find the world of propane inferred cooking. I used to love cooking chicken over charcoal with wood chips, but found that using Adobo while cooking with inferred, has a very similar smoked flavor.

    Hi GUYS, I have a small bbq plate I take everywhere and if I need a smoker I use a damp beer carton after drinking the contents ,some hickory shavings and piece of alfoil and it works nearly every time I've used it . But really works well on flat plates rather than grills. It's worked well for me for about forty years but it is trial and error. Have fun guys 😊

  • @willowbug8186
    @willowbug8186 Рік тому

    Maybe you could use the old grill lid for your griddle. Clean it up, paint it with black enamel paint and good as new. It's just a thought. My mind is always working on uses for things. I really enjoy watching your wonderful family. Have a good one.

    Looks like a good one. Maybe you could fabricate a top for the right side.About 6 years ago, my youngest son and u bought a big grill set up at Academy. But I think one mistake was made. I've heard that you should always put a gravel layer on the briquette side . And it didn't happen so in a few years, the grill bottom a d smoker bottom burned out. And we never once used the butane sides . Didn't even buy a big tank. Haven't even used it for a few years now. Oh well, live and learn.

    The shot of them walking into Home Depot cracked me up - in our local store, the front is full of picnic tables and grills, but nary a riding mower in sight. But then, we live in the desert (like they used to) and most people don't have lawns or large fields. Our landscaping is mostly rocks, shrubs, and cactus. However, in their side of the "water line" of the country, lots of riding mowers make more sense... regional marketing in action!! 😋

    I don’t blame ya for choosing tht one Gary 👍 I absolutely love my Blackstone grill, on which I have also put a steak or 2 on before also. But I do have a big propane grill also. And if the power goes out u still have a way to fix ur dinner or whatever. I did get a side burner on my gas grill and I only use it if I need to boil something. I actually use it a lot for the kids to fix mac & cheese on, LoL. And my old grill I kept the ceramic grill plates off from it because I love cooking over some wood. I can’t eat the smoked food but I love just cooking over open fire. And tht is y I’m keeping those things, always useful. I’m sure u guys will have a summer full of delicious food with the new grill. Have a great Friday guys, God Bless u all 🙏🫶

    It’s taken me years but I’ve acquired a smoker/grill combination (pit boss) and a griddle (blue flame) and a Holland grill/oven. There are times I’ve got all of them in use at the same time . But depending on what the meal is dictates what is in use. The Holland is a indirect heat so grilling to roasting a turkey or baking pizza is where it shines.
