When the children have flown the nest and a slow, cosy life in retirement is just a few years away, many couples start downsizing. The house is far too big for just two people so the search for something smaller and easier to maintain begins. The car, once the much loved people carrier is exchanged for something smaller and more economical… or perhaps better still, a sporty two seater!
Well we still live in the same house and unfortunately I still haven’t bought that much dreamed about two seater, but I have just taken the first step on the downsizing ladder…. a new grill.
For years I have been a devoted smoker user, indeed I still use it fairly regularly on those family get-togethers when quantities of roast meat, several chickens and all manner of things are cooked for hours to feed the starving visitors.
But for just a couple of sausages or perhaps a spontaneous steak or two for Darby and Joan on a balmy summer’s evening the smoker is simply too big and clumsy.
So, we decided on a “LotusGrill”. A table top, charcoal grill which is ready for action in just four minutes! Actually my first attempts took a good five minutes, but still quite speedy. It has a fan which blows air where it’s needed and therefore the heat is quite adjustable.
The smoke produced by it is minimal, so it can be used easily without coughing, and the outer case stays nice and cool so as a table top grill it really is ideal.
