So as most all you know that I have this thing with watching cars turn left and I really like it when cars turn left here in Phoenix. Well I like it to the point that I go and camp at the track for a couple of days every time they come to town.
Yes I know it’s a sickness… your also talking to someone who’s been followed the Cardinals since 1993 and fan since 1998 (you know the first bandwagon)… well not so much talking as reading the ramblings of said person.
Anyway at the spring race last year as we are packing up Greg gives me his old gril and tells me “It’s a good grill, but Beth wants to get me a new one for fathers day” well I being the cheap bastard that I am said “sure”. Greg later informed me that he made a few “upgrades” to the grill while he owned it. What kind of upgrades you ask? Just some new burners nothing to terribly special.
That was April of 08 and the grill has sat in my garage since then, mainly because I already had a grill and didn’t want to give up a lot of patio space. So tonight after my old grills flame went out for the third time in 5 minutes I decided to drag Greg’s old grill out and fire it up.
And fire it up I did… this is the first grill I’ve ever used that lit on the first press of the igniter and burned my eyebrows almost clean off… and if my patio cover was any lower I’m pretty sure I would have burn marks on it too.
Ok so the burners were upgraded a bit but how much?
Well after 10 minutes on medium the grate on the bottom that holds the briquettes was glowing red.
That’s also a first for me….
Did I mention Greg’s nickname is “The Foreman”?
No?
I think that may have something to do with it all.
