We’d come home from the Fish Depot with a gorgeous pure white fillet of Cod so fresh it was likely swimming happily off the coast of New England just the day before . As I popped it into the fridge I thought it an appropriate time to finally get off my ass and install the new charcoal tray on the grill that has languished in the garage since I received it months ago .
I’d been putting the chore off but the time had come , it just needed to be done . I’d purchased the new tray direct from the manufacturer of my grill and frankly was quite surprised how much better of quality it seemed to be over the original part. Who’d have ever guessed something manufactured as a replacement part might actually have been improved upon ?
Removing the old one was relatively easy though it was a dirty job performed while the little Yorkshire yapper next door stood at the chainlink fence watching every move . Any movement towards a grill sparks his interest and I doubt he realised it was being readied to grill fish . I hooked one side of the tray to the appropriate attachment point and then started to work the other side …. that’s when the little Yorkshire yapper recognized the look on my face having witnessed it more than once in the past. He instantly high tailed it for the doggie door at the back of his house and hid out inside.
Being a replacement part of higher quality is rather a moot point however when the manufacturer is provided both model of the grill as well as the dimensions of the needed part ….. and it still is 1 1/4 inches too wide …..
