Special Treat

Bentgrass

Last week I took my mom out to visit a cousin in Wyoming.   She has an 18 year old large egg that gets very little use.   I was told ahead of time that i was to give some advice on use and tips to help her out.   Anyway, opened the fridge to grab a bittle of wine and there was a pan with this hunk of strange looking meat in it.   Antelope backstrap... Thursday night we cut it up and put a little bacon around it.  Had never eaten Antelope before but it was great !  Next night did a 4 pound rib roast.   She lives out on a ranch with no internet, no cell coverage.  My tips will go to her mothers email and she will read them when she gets to town, about twice a week.  Egg has never had a clean burn, needs gasket replaced, and grate at the bottom has chunk missing.  It has never had a cover on it and looks incredible ! Yea, should have taken a pic- but here’s the backstrap.

Awesome. Love the patina on the egg. Are you using stones to raise the grid?

Yes, there is no shortage of rock and at the time it was the best I could come up with to get the grid up a touch.  One of several items on the list I suggested she gets to make life easier along with instant read thermometer, good utensils, welding gloves(I had mine along- they were a big hit), and a kick ash basket.

Quite resourceful. Enjoy your time together with family Steve.

Believe me, it is nice for a while, but it drove me nuts.  I did spend a lot of time being one with nature, though.
