The tomato plants stayed inside due to the return of freezing weather and are now overdue for replanting in the greenhouse.
Made shashlik. It was super tasty due to the apple wood from a previous pruning. Makes a big difference in flavour, although it's trickier to use than charcoal.
Some reorganising of the collection. A few new things added, some swapped out, some old neat things brought out for display. And always at the centre, a Quadra 605.
We bought a Looft Firestarter some time back to start our #BigGreenEgg. It’s the Looft Air Lighter 2 - Charcoal Starter model.
And what can I say? There’s no way to get the charcoal started any way faster or without any problems. Hands are far away from the heat so you don’t burn yourself, no danger of explosions by (misusing) fire accelerants, and so on. 👍
This thing isn’t cheap but worth a try for people who do #Barbecues regularly.
It is damaged beyond repair or usability. The protective top is regularly moved askew by wind and heavy snow, the moss thrives on the base plate. The lattice holder mount can’t be moved anymore and the whole thing is crap anyway. 🤣
So, @evelynefoerster and I decided to get a #BigGreenEgg instead. It's smaller, can be put away (and protected against weather). We’ll see how that turns out. 🙃🍗🥩🍕🥗🌽
@evelynefoerster We used the #BigGreenEgg five times now. And this is all the ashes it produces: about two coffee mugs. 🤣
Up to now, all five meals were delicious and right to the point. This thing is just great, says me, a person who wasn’t exactly a grill or #BBQ fan for technical reasons with classic grills. 😝
