I cleaned my other grill and will test run it today with a chicken. We had turkey saltimbocca last night and there are enough left overs for Bill for brekkies and lunch tomorrow! So a new dinner is in order. I have a ton of broccoli and I think that I will use it tonight and recycle the roasted potatoes from last night.
Last week, I cleaned out the grill, the Akorn King Griller and set a blazing fire in it and scraped the grates and inside down. So perhaps tonight I will, if the wind dies down, set up a moderate fire and spatchcock a plain chicken and enjoy a simple grilled chicken, no smoke, no fancy flavors, nothing except salt, pepper, some oil and maybe a squeeze of lemon.
I had power washed the deck last week as well, and am spot checking it along with hitting the sides of the boards so when I oil it, it will be a single coat. I am so digging this power washer. Bill made fun of me for many years about buying it, now he sees that it does a really good job.
After researching on the web, if I ipe oil the deck, the color will be very dark brown with the possibility, distinct possibility, that the sun will bake it black. That will be unable to be repaired unless I sand the deck to take off that top sun-burnt oil layer off. So, I am not going to oil the deck since I would need to power wash it at least 2x times a year with the oil, I'll go with no coating and power wash once a year.
So the chicken and cauliflower steaks got thrown onto the grill.
We ate a mixed green salad with this. The chicken was quite smoky, which I am chalking up to using damp lump charcoal. An entire bag was soaked in water throughout the winter. Oh well, I'm too cheap to throw it away. Perhaps, I will spread a plastic drop cloth on the deck and dry it out that way!
