Our House

Summer is hereish! With a backyard, we knew it would only be a matter of time before we started grilling out - but having lived in an apartment so long we didn’t own a grill.

We could have bought a new grill, but there are always a ton for sale on Craigslist, plus the US already buys 15 million grills a year (!) so we thought we’d buy used and try to reduce our footprint a bit.

The grill we got (dirt cheap!) needed some work:

It all held together fine, but it was pretty ugly, had surface rust, and needed a good cleaning. We cleaned out the inside as well as we could, and then taped down some of the metal vents and legs to repaint it:

A few coats of Rustoleum high-heat paint, and it looks (and cooks) as good as new!
