Ladies and gentlemen for your viewing pleasure, Lucille:
This is the first time I have put her together. The legs and triangle are new as I have not gotten around to cleaning the originals. The handles are pretty rough but I am gonna give sanding, staining and clear coating a shot, (I have started the first 2 handles but the last is waiting). I have some gunstock stain and plan on laying it on thick as there is no grain left. The lid vent and ash pan need cleaning too but for now I had to see this wonderful thing that a fellow member has put in my hands. Damn she's beautiful:
For this afternoon's meal I have french bread topped with a cheese mix, (old cheddar, herb/garlic cheddar, annaheim chili powder and chipolte/mango powder), with some leftover brisket slices in between:
When I was down in Detroit last week picking up Lucille I also got this from Target....seasoned it 3 times real good but this will be it's first cook:
I want to rub it but I don't knowing it's hot:
These were tastey sammiches - first time also making this combo. They could have stood a more crispy crust but I didn't want to burn off the seasoning on the cast iron so I held back on the coals underneath. Next time I won't do that so much. I very much like my new redhead and the Lodge flat skillet. I see myself getting more Lodge products in the future.....more red too.
