Finally Cool Enough to do Little Grilling

[Rich Dahl]

Got down to the mid-90s so I decided to fire up the Jumbo Joe and vortex some chicken thighs.
Just a simple cook used some shake and bake extra crispy with a little Kingsford Tuscan Style Garlic and Herbs mixed in.
Barb cooked up some nice corn on the bone with some butter and Weber Garlic and herbs mixed in on the E320.

Nice! Maybe next week here, triple digits until later next week. Looks like you did some custom work to you JJ grate.

Had to, no one makes a 18" grate that I could find with an opening for the vortex. If you use a regular grate the heat from the vortex warps the grate and also no access for adding coals or smoke wood, plus with it open I can dump the chimney right into the vortex.
I have two grates for it the other has the flip up sides for loading coals I use that for regular cooks.

I sure won't tell that to my wife Barb, AKA Nanook of the North. She has to have a bedroom window open even when it's in the teens. She would be comfortable sleeping in a snowbank with shorts and a T shirt.

Summers sure aren't long in the UP! Hopefully after this week we'll get down to more normal temps.
