'Murican Silk Pie
Weber Performer Deluxe
Hello Happy Valley Chow lovers! It's July 2nd and I am super excited for the 4th of July. The weather is looking to be beautiful and I finally convinced my beautiful wife to let me buy my first grill (Thank you honey, I love you!). I can't tell you how excited I am to finally have a grill, I haven't had my own in 4 years so this baby is definitely going to get some usage! Not only am I excited to use it, but I am also excited to share with you guys all the lovely stuff that comes off of it. I am also working on getting some grill related gadgets to demo for you, so be sure to keep a watch out for that!
But, first things first, this beautiful piece of American dream needs to be appropriately broken in. What better way to break it in than on America's day...the day that we received our independence. The day that celebrates our freedom with barbecues, beer, and blowing crap up. The 4th of July. That is correct, this puppy is going to be cranking with all vents open, turning out beautiful pieces of charred meat and more charred meat.
Something else that just absolutely screams 4th of July is pie...in order to have a legit barbecue, you need to have some pie. While this is your traditional French Silk Pie...I cannot, with my red, white, and blue blood, call it that for 4th of July. So we are going to call this 'Murican Silk Pie. So, after you chow down on your burgers and dogs...cut yourself off a slice of this delicious 'Murican Silk Pie and enjoy the fireworks! Happy 4th of July everybody, be safe!
