Notice the built-in thermometer. The 6foot gas line coming from the back is an adapter that enables the unit to attach to 20 or 30 pound tanks. By default, it uses a 16 ounce disposable cylinder which is convenient for tent camping, but not the best way to go when larger quantities of LP are available. The unit folds down to a height of about a foot and wheels around like luggage.
The burners are substantial and the grates are in two sections. No need for brushes; they can be easily removed for regular cleaning. The grease tray is a tray, not a can, and can be lined with foil. If you vaguely remember that the old grill had something to do with the garage fire, you're correct, but I won't be using this on indoors, and I'll be keeping the grease tray empty.
In other news, here's a before and now shot of where the garage was.....
I whacked some of the trees that needed to be removed, but the tree guy will have to do these two spruce.
That's scheduled for Wednesday. On Monday we have to go before the Zoning Board of Appeals and request a variance so the new garage can be placed within 4 feet of the property line rather than 10 feet in. After all that is done and the new garage is on site, that graveled area will be finished--partly with soil for a rock garden by the ferns and partly with crusher run where the old garage was for parking.
It will be nice when it's done!
I'm still waiting to hear from the glaucoma surgeon. It's nice to be getting things done, but that needs to be done too. I had to cut down on the med he prescribed, the $hit was killing me (and I mean that somewhat literally) by the sixth day. I had used it 30 years ago, but things have changed, and I'm using BP meds and aspirin, and I couldn't function.
The drought seems to be over: We only got .6 inch, but some of the areas that got downpours got 2+ inches. There is more rain in the forecast for the coming week, and the lawn will start growing again, and I'll get to ride the last man-toy again!
Happy summer!
