I can respect what you stated. I’ve gone from “cooking” a lot of food over broken branches, cut up pieces of wood, even lighting C-4 while in Vietnam and cooking out of my helmet while sitting on a stump, broken chairs, the ground, in wet jungles, to different BBQ type grills, up to three different Treager grills and now my first Weber. Personally, I’ve had it with anything that is electronic and smarter than me. I highly respect all who has mastered these metal, electronic pieces of work and the many enjoyable meals that they’ve produced.
I’ll continue onwards with my new Weber EX6 and hope I can somehow produce an enjoyable meal. If not, I’m reverting back to the older and somewhat enjoyable method of eating burnt meat, under the stars while savoring an ice cold beer with smoke surrounding me.
