Had been wanting one for a long time so when the infamous nod from the misses happened, I started looking around. I looked at (semi-)local guys to build me one but then was pointed to BBQ Mates in the UK. Their BM G-3 was exactly what I was looking for but getting it from the UK could have been an issue post-Brexit. Turns out, they also have a Spanish store so I got in touch with them. I asked for 1 modification (4 instead of 2 wheels) as I´d be moving it around on the patio. Mod was no problem so I put in my order.
When it shipped mid last week, the tracking showed it was coming from Lithuania. BM have their shop over there, I must say that from the pics on the site, these guys know what they are doing. It was delivered yesterday afternoon, it came neatly packed on a pallet. I had to put the cart together and with the help of a neighbour, loaded the grill on the cart. Solid build quality, 4mm steel all around, good welds. The grill grate is 65x45cm so that´s a nice size, above it sits a 2nd grate to keep things warm. There´s a slight-out shelf that is also nice to keep food warm or heat up plates etc.
As it was a nice dry day, I fired it up right away and did a 2 hour low burn in, season the grates etc. We had anticipated it´s arrival so I was gonna do burgers as a 1st test cook. I spend about 3 hours playing around with it and boy this is gonna be fun to use. Discovered that the shelf is also nice to defrost burgers. So I cooked the burgers on it and already had some learning experience (don´t try to turn them to fast :icon_shy). But in the end, they came out great and very juicy. Realized there´s a cheeseburger TD on, so made a quick pic of my burger before digging in.
Can´t wait to play more with this but I´m sure it´s gonna be a LOT of fun.
