I met
@Mr.CPHo while on a road trip and we did the trade. We had been talking back and forth by email and text and thought we had it all planned out. Then, Hurricane Matthew had to stick his nose all up in our business. I thought I was going to have to cancel my trip due to no power at my house and roads were closed due to trees down and flooding.
Then at the last minute I found myself able to go. I made a phone call, we renewed our plans, met up and made a trade. Then, I started thinking (not a good idea) and thought I might have left the ash pan at home in my rush to get on the road. As it turned out, I did remember the ash pan and all was well.
I would have liked to have stayed and chatted with Mr & Mrs CPHo but I still had 4 hours to drive. In my haste to get back on the road, I forgot the triangle to my grill. I got a text reminding me and a promise to ship it to me. No problem, I wasn't worried, I knew by talking with Charlie that he was a man of his word.
I arrive at the cabin where I was going to spend a few days and they had a Weber grill on the deck for renters to use. Well, I robbed the legs from it and put them on my new (to me) Brownie.
Got the chimney fired up getting it ready to grill.
Gonna throw on a couple of pieces of Angus.
Seared both sides and cooked indirect to medium rare.
The next day I did some Vortex wings and then put the donor kettle back together and loaded the Brownie up for the ride back home.
To recap my week, made it through a hurricane with no damage, cancelled my trip, then the trip was back on, met a great guy and his lovely wife, made a trade the both of us are happy with, was able to cook some awesome food on my new grill, made it back home safely. What a week!
Someone will probably mention the handles on the Brownie. No, they are not period correct, but they work. Like I told Charlie, I'm a cooker, not a collector. But, I can appreciate all of the older Webers that all of you have.
