Oh Happy Days!

[Rich Dahl]

The powers to be finally lifted the fire restrictions on charcoal which have been in force since late April.
I brought the performer out of its coma and made a couple of cooks.
A cook of KFC and a nice ribeye the next night.
The white smoke of KBB never smelled so good.

The KFC was grilled using the vortex and two chunks of cherry for smoke it was served with my cheesy potatoes cooked on the E320 and some steamed veggies.

The ribeye lightly seasoned with a lite coating of SPOG and was cooked with red oak for smoke, served with sautéed mushrooms and onions and leftover cheesy potatoes.

Here are some pictures of the cooks.





















Stay Safe.

Thanks Pat it felt great to use it again. I had 26 bags of various brands of charcoal, sold all but 6 to make room for some pellets for the Camp Chef. I figured that after selling all my charcoal grills and WSM except for the performer which I can only use about six months of the year in the winter. I didn't need 26 bags of charcoal. It was weird I put out 20 bags in the driveway with the prices on the bags which was pretty much what I paid for them they were all sold in about 4 hours.

Awesome looking cook! Glad you could use the Performer again.
