Our old grill was a weber It had a work table made of wood bars on both sides. I loved it too. But it was just plain old charcoal - no bells and whistles-which I like-simple is better.
I would like to be able to bake bread outdoors in the summer.
I want to be able to smoke chickens, grill steaks and burgers, and cook pizza. Possibly need something to use to can stuff outdoors with pressure canner.
I really love my rocket stove. It uses wood or charcoal. I cooked a homemade hamburger helper style lasagne, heated rolls, and coffee using a mere handful of twigs. We usually have a homegrown salad to go with it.
sounds like fun!
