I finally got around to grilling on the new charcoal grill I built yesterday. I bought "real" charcoal as recommended by Still A Dog and I must say it worked out very well. My only problem was controlling the initial burn when the chicken juices started dripping on the hot coals. The pieces got a little crispy (ok, a LOT crispy) on the outside but were perfect on the inside. Later in the night I used one of the grates as a fireplace screen and lit a nice wood fire in the pit to make s'mores. Even though it seemed kind of weird to light a fire on a day when it was almost 90 degrees, by 10 o'clock at night it felt just right. Now all I have to do is sync up my calendar with The Dog's and allow him to cook the perfect meal on it - whatever he chooses!

That pit looks like a retard built it.
It will be perfect for a retard like Stilladog to cook on!
You feeling like steaks, pork chops, or chicken? I know you been grilling a lot of fish, otherwise I would have suggested my famous bourbon salmon. Scallops are a possibility though. Haven't heard you mention them.
I presume you got some of that Cowboy charcoal then? That stuff catches good and burns hot. Doesn't last that long, but I love it. (Sorta like what Stilladog's wife tells him after a zesty session!).
Hey man, you better start synchronizing. Cause me and StillanUnc are alread making plans for Aug 10-12.
