New Q

We love to grill.

(A bit of a detour here. In Boris' world there is a distinct distinction between grillin' and barbeque. Barbeque involves a tomato-y sauce. Grillin' is cookin' over open flame with charcoal or gas.)

We've toted our vintage Weber Smoky Joe for years. It has gone above and beyond the call of duty. After many miles of faithful service, it's on its last leg. It's loaded in Bullwinkle's basement, but we've been shopping for a replacement.

Click, click, click and a replacement was found today.

We're Weber fans from way back. So, we were particularly interested in their line of portable gas grills...the Qs. There's a Baby Q and a full-size Q. And, they seem to be in the middle of a brand transformation, because there's also a Q100 and Q200 and Q300. We did our research and decided the Q220 was for us. It's big enough for tri-tips, pork roasts and turkey breasts, which are among our favorites.

We had a few gift certificates built up at amazon.com. We went there and found the Q220 at a nice price that was even nicer after we applied the gift certificates. So, we bought a cover, too. It'll be here Tuesday.

We can't wait to put our new Q to use.
