I have had this current grill, a Huntington Rebel Made in the USA for probably about 13 years or so. I have had to replace a lot of parts inside over the years. Heat diffusers. Burners. But every year I start off the grilling season cleaning her up inside. I scrape her inside and use the Shop Vac to get all the rust and other garbage out. Then I turn the dials to the highest level and cook it off. Well, she's cleaned up and ready to go and I was pleased when I opened her up. Replaced a bunch of parts last year and I think I have at least one more good year out of her. Going to grill some chicken thighs tonight on it. Grilling season is officially open and ready for business.

I think I need to change my glasses. It's good that I saw the picture because what I seemed to have read with the title was "Girly season" huh.

@porwest I can say you are right with that matter. It would be great if there were some side dishes that would go along with them.

That sounds yummy. My husband has a birthday next month and I bought him a new grill that he picked out. He grilled some steaks and shrimp that were good.

At least you let him pick it out. I would love anything my wife would decide...but there is SOMETHING about a man and his grill.

I have a huge stainless steel NexGrill that I bought about three years ago. That thing has gotten a lot of use over the past couple of years. My grilling season began about 2 months ago! I love barbecuing on the grill. I think the next thing I buy is going to be a smoker to compliment my grill. Hope you enjoy the start of grilling season!

That Huntington finally bit the dust a few years ago. My last "rebuild" would have cost as much as a new grill, so I just got a new one. It was due anyway, and the new one, which I have had for about three years or so, has been very good so far, although not made in the USA. Oh well.

@porwest My favorite is legs and thighs too - dark meat.

@just4him Yep. I do like the white meat, but sometimes it just has a tendency to dry out a bit more than I prefer.

The chicken was delicious, and it felt good to finally be able to get out there and clean her up and get her fired up.

@porwest I am happy for you. So glad it is ready for you to do your grilling. I have a little thing I can put on my stove and grill things. I have never owned a grill and am envious of those that do and know how to use them.
