Prince of Shingletown has arrived


 
Looks good, Chuck! But be careful with the pan-style ash catcher on a wooden deck, though...we rented a cabin that had some terrible burn scars from a charcoal kettle.

Looks like the deck may be composite........but it is hard to see from this far away..........:LOL:
Doesn't mean it won't be affected negatively by insane hot coals........My wood deck has a few scars..I try to pay attention but a few sneak by every year.
Loving the look of the new place Chuck, I dream about something similar all the time.....
Staying away from all carbs all the time or just being better where you can?

I think the newer ash catcher is a better option than the old style pan. I put one on my older (1990) kettle, using worm drive hose clamps. It gives me a little more peace of mind, although it's not perfect.

The thing I don't like about the newer ash catcher is that it collects rainwater. and it can be a little fiddly taking it off and on. I leave it off when not in use so it doesn't collect water.

Yeah, I need to cut back on the food, and carbs are a pretty easy cut for me. I did double duty for my company (Controller / Driver) and boy did I fatten up. When I hit 220 back in May, that's when there was no denying I needed to change. I just dipped below 200 and the goal is to get into the 180's. It'll be a lot easier now, daily hikes are in my near future

That's awesome, Chuck. The new digs will help with the hiking.
