A new forum for Pellet Grill users. Some really nice knowledgeable people, only too willing to give help and advice. www.pelletfan.com
Yesterday, I had friends round to play boardgames, and I planned to cook some burgers, as it is fairly effortless with the pellet grill, and doesn’t keep me away from the games table. Mindful of what I said on Saturday, I visited my butcher, only…
There’s been a couple of nice days lately, but I’ve either been working, or – if not – haven’t gotten up and about in time to make the most of it.
Today was predicted to be sunny, so I had an early night, and was up by 8:45.
