Weber Q 220 Grillin'

I bought my first grill earlier this summer and I've realized that I have a long way to go. I've already downloaded a pretty cool app for my iPhone: On the Grill. It wasn't free, but it seemed like a fair enough deal for the information and feature set.

Review of the Q Grill: My Grill (Weber Q Grill)

Indirect Grilling:

Cooking indirect on the Q is a simple task there is several different set-ups that can be used you, once you understand the basic method you can come up with different ways to meet your requirements. The basic method is to place a doubled over sheet of foil on the grill ensuring that you have an air gap between the edge of the foil and the sides of the Q of at least 1” on the long side and 1 ½” – 2 “ on the short sides. Then place a roasting trivet or a wire rack on the foil, which sits at least 3/4” above the foil, providing an air gap between the foil and the food being cooked. article

Trout fishing links and info

I haven't had much luck fishing for trout this season. I'd better study up and get out as much as I can before the season finishes up.

Home Improvements

State College exists as an anomaly in these turbulent economic times. That's not to say that we've been immune to the crisis going on around us. President Graham Spanier did announce that there would be a pay-increase freeze for 2009. This area is called Happy Valley for a reason. Being able to weather the Depression and recessions in the past is one of the area's greatest strengths.

So, we are very happy to be relatively secure here. We are very happy with our new home and have already begun talking about improvements for this summer. Painting, planting, decorating, upgrading and furnishing... it sounds like a lot, so we'll have to do things little-by-little.

Before I forget, one of the things we're looking for is an awning for our deck. I found this company, SunSetter, and will have to look into their options in a little while.
