BB 32 completed her journey to NC and finally to my house this morning. The lift gate wasn't very deep so the driver had to place the crate 90 degrees to where it should be facing, and you can see from the one picture that it was tilted at a precarious angle. What you can't see, or only part of is that I was behind the crate pushing on it so the pallet jack could roll off the side of the gate. Got it off the lift safely and wheeled it into the garage for inspection. My first thought was that there is no way this is a 32", it had to be a 42" because it's so big. I've read hundreds of times that nothing can do justice to the beauty and quality of the grill until you see it in person, and that is so true. I kind of just sat there and stared at it and rubbed the tiles without saying a word. Now comes the fun part of getting it from the garage, around the side of the house and onto the patio beneath my deck. Probably going to rent a pallet jack and do the leapfrog with two pieces of plywood, but will need a few strong friends to navigate it down a short but steep hill. I'm guessing that will be a weekend project.

This should be a good show. I love Chef Brooke and Rodney Scott. Premieres Monday June 14th https://www.foodnetwork.com/shows/bbq-brawl-flay-v-symon

Peaches and pork chops - great combo! Direct cook on the main grate, peach wood chunks (what else?), 325F. Peaches get cut up for the spinach & arugula salad with shallot vinaigrette made with peach balsamic vinegar (again, what else??) Topped off with a nice Viognier. Perfect light summer dinner!

Congratulations!!!!

Yep- seen that one; condition report pretty dire though- reckon you would be deeply underwater with that example in no time at all!

How exciting! I guess I’ll just have to be a little more patient. I’m now scheduled for Friday.

Tony, that looks lovely. I'm sure I'd go for that as I love peaches. 🥂

Congrats! Absolutely get those people to help.. it'll really help reduce the stress level by a huge margin! You'll feel amazing once you get it to its final home in the back yard!

Well spotted. '67

I used the crowbar and took the top and one side off , it really isn’t heavy.

Yep- kids had a lot of fun ripping off all of the plastic and cardboard! Removed the ramp from the top- may try and take the crate off tonight; but the wife is quite small so not sure how much strength will be required to lift it up and over... If it seems to tricky, I may just crowbar one side off and tilt off instead. Lovely to get a good view of those sleek black tiles!
