tragic BBQ

a terrible thing has happened: the burners in my gas grill are so rusty at this point that one of them has almost completely fallen apart, and i suspect the grill won't be safe to use for much longer. i have no words to express the magnitude of this tragedy. just as the warm weather is about to come back, i find myself soon-to-be-grillless!

all i can say is, they better make me a permanent employee here so i can buy a new one, or, or, or... uh... i'll have to get a hibachi. which actually wouldn't be so bad, except that i wouldn't be able to make pulled pork anymore.

like i said, tragic.

ooooh - grill-less is sadness!

I had this problem, too. Being somewhat of a miser, I've been charcoaling it for a while now.

Such a condition is probably not terribly unsafe, but the main problem is you get BIIIIIG FIYAH on one side, and a little piddling flame on the other. Great for smoking, not so handy for general grilling goodness.

I sense a great disturbance in the force...
