Day 93 - BBQ, With Cheese

So I figured I would try the portable BBQ out again in order to get to know it a bit better.

Important questions anyone having a BBQ really needs to ask themselves are:

1. Where are the hotspots, or ideal cooking spots?
2. What is the Dynamic Range (degrees Celsius) of the flame?
3. Do the burners burn evenly?
4. This BBQ looks pretty shady. Is it going to break and land on my foot?
And finally, not so much a question, more of a affirmation, "Don't fuck it up".

I found that, with a slight wind, the flame would go out when the lid was closed. This proved to be somewhat aggravating as you can imagine, so after re-lighting it a few times, I wedged a rock between the bottom case and lid in order to stop the lid from fully closing.

Another thing I have discovered about this little demon, is that when the lid is closed, the cooking time decreases exponentially. This of course, is pretty obvious, but all of my BBQ-ing so far has been done on a lid-less models and is a nice surprise.

Now I just have to find a way to clean it fast so the van doesn't contain a greasy funk.

Ryan, after one of his surprise visits to my work right on home time, joined me for some late afternoon Cheese Kranskys.

Cook it.






I will attempt to update while I am away on tour.
