refurb, and first cook with rig/spider

Focker

Installed Nomex and new bands. Thanks Fred for the helpful video

Son turned two yesterday and decided to take the rig/spider/ss grate for its maiden voyage.

Once again tjv, thanks for great service and quality products. Order was placed on the 17th and on my doorstep from Texas on the 19th. I will be ordering another rig/spider next summer for the new large

We egged Fidel's Teriyaki Shrimp Pineapple Skewers

We also made some fried rice for a side. Didn't get pics of the finished plating, too busy egging.
Definitely a keeper. Loved the heat of the red pepper and ginger along with the sweetness of the pineapple. Thanks Fidel, they were a hit

Had to sub 26-30 count shrimp for the 16-20 :(
Also had to sacrifice the char of direct and do them indirect. Wanted to do full batches of everything simultaneously (ABTs, vegetable skewers, and hot dogs for the kids), figured the ABTs would get burnt on the bottom grate(flare ups)if I went direct.

For the ABT filling used cream cheese, Bomba, cheddar, finely chopped pulled pork, and a little granulated garlic, and minced onion.

The veggies were marinated shortly in some EVOO and balsamic vinegar.

Here is a slideshow of the first batch and a couple pics of the birthday boy
