PRO TIP: for Father's Day bliss, put your family in touch with Brian.

A while back, my wife was asking for some ideas for Father's Day gifts, and I of course put in a not-too-subtle hint about Brian's (zavod) handles.  Which he of course came through on like a champ-- I've given his handles to others, but these are my first ones for myself, and they are spectacular. 

Anyway, I guess in their emailing about the surprise, my wife asked Brian for some other ideas, and he said the thing *he* was hoping for on June 16 was a Craycort grate.  Badabing, my kids delivered one to the side of the bed this morning with a cup of coffee.  Awesome.  A perfect gift, because it's something I would never even think to get for myself. 

So Brian, my friend, here's to you!


The sideways K, all ready to go to town.




before/after.  The attention to detail that Brian brings is astounding:



(pardon the dust and grease-- she's a cooker, not a looker)






Marking the pineapple for upside-down cake.


Upside-down cake on the Weber cooling rack.


Potatoes and Vidalia onion finishing their roast while the whole boneless chicken rests.

I'm glad they got there in time....I was wondering. They look awesome, I hoped the wood I picked for you was satisfactory.  Your wife contacted me and I knew I had a perfect piece of Maple for your handles.....The Craycort looks great as well.  Those grills are really pimped out now.....

I love the wood, the finish, and everything, Brian.  Perfect.  Thanks so much.

Are the Performer handles oak?  They seem really dark, though.  Love them!

Happy Father's day! I have similar looking handles  on my performer and Brian told me they are Walnut.
