Got my first grill, and although they weren't perfect, I did manage to cook some burgers on it! Definitely a learning curve.

Is the bluish hue on some of the charcoal a sign of something I did wrong? I bought a stainless trash can and lid from Tractor Supply, drilled a small vent hole. It was filled with 100% Rock Maple that had been dry and stored in a garage for 15-20yrs. I’m wondering if the blue hue to some of it is because I didn’t burn out the pail first or is this normal? Thanks for any feedback or advice

$1500 for a what's essentially nothing special at all. Might as well slap a Supreme logo on it too

Very rarely am I able to get these damn string stitches out of the bag without resorting to a knife or scissors. I'm 1 for 1 on the year. Sweet!!
