Enough excuses. Lets see some pictures.


have a few chicken breast brining. Doing a bacon & pepper wrapped chicken breast. Tried my hand at doing bread on the grill yesterday. A few mods to the grilling method should produce a better, darker crust.

If you use mesquite, (IMO) use it lightly with an apple or hickory as the main wood. Having tried a straight mesquite, the result was a somewhat bitter taste. YMMV

When i had the brinkman / R2D2 i put the bricks (small) under the coal pan. I tried your way but kept tripping over them.

Been sober for 31 years-no tripping for me
