Grillz

Jen and I splurged and bought a new grill.

Big deal right? Everybody buys a grill this time of year. Not me. I've never bought a new grill or even a used grill. My last grill was a hand-me down.

A friend was upgrading, so I took her old one. The one I had at the time was something I found in the trash. It went on to live with Jeff for a while.

That was 10 years ago. It still cooks, so why a new grill?

I dunno.

Once you're at the store, it's all about which new grill. There's so many features! Multiple burners, stainless, porcelain - you name it, it's a sellable marketing point. When you've had the same clunker for 10 years, it's a bit overwhelming. The simple fact the new one isn't rusty, was enough for us to get excited.

We picked the simplest most economical one we could find. Other than the working thermostat

it cooks like the old one.

Considering it's new and we got a bomber cover for it (the key to grill longevity)

It could be around for quite a while.


At least I hope so. Something has to relinquish me of my new grill guilt.
