Birthday dinner with a surprise ending...

[Chris Arnold]

so we had the family round for dinner on Saturday (as it's my birthday today)
6 of us in all - so i smoked a chicken on the Performer


and then reverse seared a 2inch thick porterhouse


plus a bunch of sides (of course)


then after dinner i got surprised with this


YES - i finally got a smoker... (need to update my profile sig!)

here he is all built and snuggled up in his cover...


won't get much chance to use it this week - so can't wait for next weekend.....

oh - and my daughter attended the UK Weber roadshow the other day - they're touring the UK with the Weber guys from Sweden - and she got me this new grillin' hat...
