During this whole move I was really stressed out about moving my Big Green Egg.  I was having nightmares about dropping and breaking my prized cooking device. We got the egg all packed and successfully moved it to the garage of the new house. I thought I was home free, but not quite.  I was rolling the BGE to the backyard and the caster caught an edge in concrete and in the span of 3 seconds my nightmare had become a reality.  The hit the concrete and just shattered like a real egg.  I was so freaking pissed I just wanted to cry.

The breaking of the BGE was just the icing on the cake.  Just a few days before the Humpty Dumpty incident, my gas grill was stolen out of the back yard of the old house.  I guess it’s my fault for leaving in the backyard unattended, they had sat in the backyard for years without any incident, and I thought they would be safe, but no.  Somebody knew I wasn’t home and decided to relieve me of another of my prized possessions.

So here I am limping into prime of barbeque season with a decimated fleet of grills.  My Egg is on the mend and I’m shopping around for a new gas grill but I still needed something to cook on. I had wanted to get a Weber Kettle for a long time and decided it was time to pull the trigger.  It’s a great little grill and I have been cooking up a bunch of good stuff, chicken, steaks and even some rustic grilled pizzas.  As we head into the 2^nd half of the summer you can expect to see some new recipes grilled up on my new kettle.
