Title: Blast From the Past
Post by: ZCZ on March 14, 2018, 09:31:48 PM: Hard to believe I used to cook on one of these.
About the only thing was hot dogs, hamburgers & chicken.
Looks like hot dogs were on the menu that night.

I hadnâ€™t even found a propane smoker yet and was just grilling steaks, burgers, brats, etc. calling it BBQ. I thought the $399 i spent on the Weber was insane at that time. Got about 15-20 years and $80 out of it though and now Iâ€™m justifying a Memphis. Boy how times changed :).

I had a lot less gravitational pull then too, loll.

You've come a long way, Comrade!

Look it up on Webster's, or Dictionary.com or other sites that do definitions and you will find that some say what you did is BBQ. A lot of talk about hearth's...Others will say it is open hearth or outdoor cooking and some will say over an open fire...Does that unit have an open fire? I guess that requires one to delves in even further then I care to go right now.
