OK, Neal's bankrupt. Who's next?

Tie them to pineapple pizzas and throw them in the lake

 

[GlampDaddy]

Holy crap! They're fire bricks, for Jim to build old-school pineapple pizza ovens at each of the sites!

Stone of some type. Pavers I say but for what .

Finally got the BBQ assembled. Man, what a job! The directions say about 2 hrs., it took me 6. Guess I'm a little slow.

But it's done and it appears to be built very well. There is a gravity feed hopper that holds 10 hrs of briquette or lump charcoal. There are several probes to monitor the food and digital controls allow temps to be set anywhere between 0*-700*. Bluetooth keeps you updated on the progress of the food and allows you to make changes from your phone.

The fire sits to the right of the grilling area and never actually comes in contact with what you are cooking. A fan blows the heat from the fire, across the BBQ and up under the food. Very cool indeed!

There are 3 ways to use this grill.

1) When using it as a smoker, you put the grates, which have a flat side and a raised side like a pyramid, with the pyramid side up. This lets your food sit on just the top of the grate and makes extra space for more of the smoke to get to the meat.

2) When using it to BBQ steaks, you flip the grates to the flat side, turn the heat up to 700*, and toss the steaks on. The extra width of the grate makes it great for searing. Once seared, turn the heat back down and BBQ appropriately.

3) Replace the grates with the griddle attachment. Then cook anything that you want that is best cook on a griddle. Eggs, bacon, etc. You can even use it for cooking pizza! Heat up the grill anywhere between 500*-700*, toss the pizza on the griddle and close the lid. The bottom of the pizza cooks like it should and the heat from the closed lid, reflects back down on top of the pizza to cook the toppings.

This bad boy will make plenty of burgers, dogs and other stuffs on those days we have a group feast! And with a little training, will be available to our guests to use when you want to have a special event at the pavilion.

BBQ's have come a long way!

I don’t think I can wait until October to visit. Looking good.

Boy that’s a nice grill. It’s a shame, but you might consider bolting down or securing it somehow. Wouldn’t want it sprouting legs and walking off at some point.

I think we're OK, it weighs over 200lbs.

Also, we're quite rural and three of the campsite host's personalities are well versed in disposal techniques. The fourth one is known for having a short temper when he drinks, which I'm told is most of the time.

Me, I just sit back and watch all 4 of them argue about roller skating down the gravel driveway.

How much diesel does it hold?

Does it matter? It’s not like anyone can afford it right now
