Meet Maria

[JIMSMOKES]

Maria made it home last week. Joel @seenred built a beautiful grill.

Had to work Memorial day so heated her up couple days later for some seasoning.

Had to cook something so tossed some thighs on.

She's hot and cooks like a dream.
Planning on really loading her up this weekend for my birthday. If work will leave me alone.
Joel thanks again for building it!

So glad it made it home! Looking forward to it being loaded up!

That will be a cooking machine. Them thighs are small on that thing

A real beauty without question. A true christening calls for some Tri-Tip Jim.

Congrats on the new cooker.

I second a Tri-Tip or if you really want to break it in Santa Maria style cook up a large Spenser (thick ribeye).

Wow, very nice! Does that side fire burn the logs to coals to be shoveled under the grates?

Yes it does but I add some lump charcoal to get some bigger chunks of hot coals.

I didn't I just couldn't think of anything better.
