Another wonderful sleep and getting back to normal up at 5:30 this morning, when I like to get up. And a great warm day in the works, so got a very nice walkabout about 2 miles around the campground. Nice and quiet after this busy weekend .
I was motivated with this cooler morning weather and removed our screens to give them a good cleaning about this time every year.

| nice and clean now will dry I can put them back in place |
Enjoyed a light tasty lunch then decided time to give our Weber Q a once a year good cleaning this involves a hammer narrow slot screw driver and about a hour or so of my time. Amazing how much carbon builds up especially seeing I use it pretty well everyday of the year. Scrapping and chips away until it is right back down to a clean grill again. Back together I rub the grate down well with oil both sides, Then fire it up on Hi for about 20 minutes or so, seasoning the cast iron grates again. Yup just like new and still works wonderful after all these years. Has to be the best BBQ I have ever owned. Even the original starter still works, gotta love this Weber Q.

| they need a good cleaning |
After a while it is looking good. Much better than before rubbed with oil and now seasoned good for another year.
 |
| almost like new again! |
Then some afternoon relaxing reading time was perfect.

I started another new book an author I enjoy

Just after 3 pm Gerry joined us for Happy hour. no Tucker today he is resting with Melinda after a hard days work. For her at least.
 |
| we flapped our gums and enjoyed some stories and a few laughs as usual |
 |
| gotta love these kids enjoying the play ground across from us |
Gerry headed home to whip up their supper, and we enjoyed a bit more reading while our weber Q heated up.
 |
| another perfect day |
Then the rain began and came down in buckets for a while
 |
| yup we got this heavy rain |
Supper tonight was a treat we have not had for along time Hot dogs done in our Grill a Dog, usually on a campfire but works great on our Weber Q as well. I have had this for over 45 years and my kids and grands love it when they are here (not so much anymore) Have not been able to find this to purchase and we will treasure it as long as we can.

That hot dog griller is really cool! And that was a lot of rain.
ReplyDeleteIt is cool we really enjoy it when we think of using it.
DeleteThe rain sure came down hard for a while.
As kids we had a 2-dog version of your grill-a-dog, not sure if it's the same thing, but heated the hot dog so nice and even. We still use the clam-shell sandwich makers, same idea.
ReplyDeleteAwesome rain!
It would be similar this one was made locally here on Ontario cast aluminum, the others I have seen are cast iron. The sandwich makers are nice too we have one of those.
DeleteThat hot dog griller is cool. Nice day even when the rains came.
ReplyDeleteIt is a great way to make hot dogs, eve in the rain on our Weber Q.
DeleteWow that was some rain storm! We like making cherry pies in our clam-shell pie maker, two pieces of white bread buttered side down and cherry pie filling in the middle. so good
ReplyDeleteThe rain really came down for a while. Those cherry pies are tasty too, been a long time since I made them.
DeleteYikes ... that's a LOT of rain. We sure could use that here! Yeah, my bbq really needs cleaning too. One of these days!!
ReplyDeleteThat was a lot in a short period of time, No need to rush, I do ours once a yearend it does get a lot more use than yours. No need to rush.
DeleteWow, what's with all that rain. We power wash our Weber every few months to keep it looking new.
ReplyDeleteThat was a heavy rain for a short time.
DeleteI have tried the power wash a few times with a commercial one even., but did not take the heavy carbon off the grill. Mostly from the meat, sauces and spices I use that you don't do.
I wish I had your energy to clean our house windows and screens. I had never seen a grill-a-dog or for that matter even knew they existed.
ReplyDeleteWe so need the rains you are receiving in this part of Texas which is so dry.
The grill a dog os kinda cool , on the fire or BBQ makes some tasty hot dogs wrap up.
DeleteI pace myself with my chores a little;bit every day works for me.
We have had our share of rains here for sure.
What was your hot dog wrapped in? They look so yummy! Wow that was some rain pouring down! Nice you got your screens and windows clean, something on my list here at home! Your Weber Q certainly cleaned up nicely!
ReplyDeleteThe hot dog goes into the grill a dog with bread slices butter side down close it up trim the excess and toasts the bread and cooks the dog evenly , , similar to a POGO but no batter. light bread coating.
DeleteWindow s and screens cleaned is nice as well as our Weber Q, both good for another year.
