Thanks to my awesome Papa, I now have a grill! I put a lot of thought in to which one I wanted and I ended up getting the Weber One-Touch Gold charcoal grill. I chose charcoal over a gas grill because it tastes better and its more fun to grill with and I was right! I’ve only grilled a few times so far, but I enjoy doing it and the few things I’ve made were (I think!) pretty good. I obviously still have a lot to learn before I’ve mastered my grill, but I’ve got the rest of the spring, summer, and fall to practice. To my friends and family: You’re always welcome to give us a call and come over for a meal, I’d be more than happy to grill for you!

UPDATE: I’ve definitely gotten the hang of the grill and I’d recommend this exact grill to anyone who wants to have a fun and tasty grilling experience with easy clean-up. The grilling surface is huge, the space between the charcoal tray and the grilling rack is just right, and the pan at the bottom that catches the ash makes the clean-up afterwards simple.
