It was in the mid-60s today and it is the end of March. Some could point towards a little thing called climate change, others could point towards the fact that it is Spring time and it's time for the cold weather to go away. My wife came home after stopping at the grocery and she brought steaks with her. It was wonderful grilling weather. How can you argue with sunny, yet cool, 60 degrees? Perfect beginning to the grilling season. A few years ago, we bought a new grill because the one my parents got for us for our wedding finally kicked the bucket. The burner rusted out and I looked at replacing it, but I couldn't find the parts because the grill was about eight years old.
Our first grill had one of those stupid burner on the side that never really worked. I hooked it up when we first got it and it didn't work. Right out of the box, didn't work. Not too upsetting because who uses that? The majority of the time when we grill in the summer we have baked beans. Not once, in the nearly ten years we have grilled, had we thought 'hey, let's throw the beans in a pot on the side burner of the grill.' No. Anything other than what is being cooked on the grill is usually prepared and made inside.
Is the side burner one of the most useless accessories every invented when it comes to food preparation? I mean, unless you invest in a professional level grill and can use it year round, is there a point to this burner? The only use I got out of it was as a beer holder because the middle of the coil was the exact diameter of a can. Beer cans rested perfectly on the burner of no use. The grill we bought as a replacement does not have this useless accessory. The only accessory that the new grill came with? A bottle opener. Perfect.
