OUTDOOR KITCHEN

AN OUTDOOR KITCHEN PROJECT HAS BEEN ON THE FALL “TO DO” LIST.  THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN THE WIND BLOWING OUT THE BURNERS ON THE BIG gASS GRILL.  WE WERE TIRED OF PLANNING COOKOUTS, ONLY HAVING TO CANCEL OUR MEAL PLANS DUE TO WINDY WEATHER.

WE FIGURED OUT WHAT WE WANTED AND HIRED THE LOCAL NEIGHBORHOOD HANDYMAN, MARTY, TO DO THE WORK.

 

THESE WALLS AROUND THE GRILL SHOULD KEEP THE WIND OUT, AND THE BURNERS LIT.

 

YOU’LL NOTICE THE NEW OUTDOOR KITCHEN IS GREEN BAY PACKER GREEN IN COLOR.  WE STILL NEED TO ADD SOME HOOKS, AND WE’RE LOOKING FOR THE RIGHT GREEN BAY DECAL TO ADD TO THE KITCHEN.

THE SECOND PART OF THE PROJECT WAS TO REPLACE THE GRILL BOX ON THE STOVE.  YOU REMEMBER LAST SUMMER IN THE EXTREME HEAT WHEN I PULLED A GARDEN HOSE BY THE GRILL, HOOKED IT, AND IT TOOK A NASTY FALL.  THE HINGES WERE SPRUNG, THE HANDEL BROKE OFF, AND THE THERMOMETER STOPPED WORKING.

MARY REPLACED THE GRILL BOX AS AN EARLY CHRISTMAS PRESENT FOR ME.

 

THE THING I REALLY LIKE ABOUT THIS GRILL BOX IS THAT THE COOKING GRATE IS BLACK CAST IRON.  I USED THE OLD GRATE IN THE NEW GRILL BOX AS IT’S WELL SEASONED CAST IRON.  THE CAST IRON HOLDS A NICE EVEN HEAT FOR COOKING.

THERE, CROSS OFF ANOTHER ITEM ON THE FALL “TO DO” LIST.
