Nothing Fancy, Just Breaking It In

[J. E. Goode]

I finally got around to trying out my early Father's Day gift from my wife. My dad's coming over for the actual day to hang out and grill, so she wanted to make sure I had a chance to try it out beforehand.

I decided chicken thighs and venison burgers would be a good starting point.

I tried the Weber starter cubes for the first time today. Not bad.

Quick sear on the chicken then off the coals while the burgers grilled.

I let the burgers smoke a little and pulled everything off at once.

We were starving, so I got in a hurry and didn't take a photo of the burgers, but got a nice shot of the chicken for this evening's dinner.

All in all, I'm very happy with the new grill. I want to try some smoking and longer-cook methods next.

Very nice. I'm always missing the plated shot. It's usually gone before I even think about the camera.
