Mine has not been that clean in years!
Mine either!! Hehehe In that pic I'm not scrutinizing the sad shape, I'm gawking at the fact his old version looks positively pristine compared to my relatively new one!
Pete-- that crab you brought for us was AMAZING! That was my first time doing crab on the grill, and it was just delicious! And my birthday was yesterday, so it turned out to be a perfectly timed special birthday dinner too!!! We had some nice artisan bread and sparking wine with it.
I shared a few crabs with Ken, who did the work on your grill, he was excited to have a treat also! Matt and Bob and Kerrie took some home as well, so you fed the whole darn crew here!!
Hope you have a great time breaking the new one in-- like KyNola said, it'll take a bit to season the new one, so you might want to keep a closer eye on things for the next few cooks just in case.
I'm with ya, ACW3, I wish shipping didn't have such a painful price tag!
