Title: Took My Glen Blue to the Beach
Post by: bamakettles on August 02, 2021, 01:29:15 PM
I posted a few of these pictures when we were at the beach a couple weeks ago..... Full story, family vacation on St. George Island, FL and we took my 26" Glen Blue kettle with us.  "Marilyn" I call her due to a perfectly positioned porcelain pop on her lid - movie star reference.  The Glen Blue fit nicely in my Yukon XL and we were able to bring our other toys too thanks to the cargo carriers we have.  My oldest son rode with us as well which was a bonus.

We made burgers, dogs and cheddar brats, jalapeno poppers, fresh gulf grouper and shrimp and a squash/bell pepper/onion mix.  My middle son even grilled peach halves for ice cream desert.  Marilyn will definitely be going back with us again....

Cheers!

I love the vanity plate!

Great looking beach cooks on Marilyn right there Greg! Glad you and the family had a great time.

I might have to cook on Marilyn in October or eat whatever you cook! Lol

Cheers

Thanks Robert!  Yep, we'll have Marilyn and possibly another fired up by the pool / beach in October.  You'll have to show your expertise!

probably not, going to LaJolla CA in October, my daughter is stationed in Yuma and will join us with her husband and my granddaughter. Rented a house on the beach which took all my money LOL

Gourmet loaner?

La Jolla is beautiful, Yuma not so much! Enjoy your west coast vacation.

Cheers
