My love for grilling began at an early age. My dad always grilled steaks and BBQ chicken. Yes, chicken slathered with BBQ sauce on the grill. But, with my dad being in retail we moved a lot and lived in a lot of apartments so his grill of choice in the late 70's and early 80's was always the charcoal hibachi similar to this.
He'd load up the charcoal and splash on the lighter fluid and light it up and we'd sit there and wait until it burned off the fluid. Then he'd grill up our dinner. While our address changed a lot, that routine of grilling up steak and BBQ chicken was always the same and is a memory I will forever cherish. No matter what else was wrong at that time in my life, sitting there on the patio watching my dad grill was always right.
Later in life my dad moved up to Weber gas grills and it wasn't until about 15 years ago I got my first Weber Kettle and moved back to charcoal as my main cooking source. I have 9 Weber grills, and 2 of them are both the gas and charcoal Go Anywhere grills. Every time I fire up that Charcoal Go Anywhere it reminds me of my dad cooking on those old hibachi grills and the good times we shared all those years. It also helps that it's just a great little grill. I've started using it more and more, although I DON'T get nostalgic about the lighter fluid. lol. Definitely a charcoal chimney for me. lol
