The First Practical Application

I wanted to grill out for New Year's Eve but didn't have a grill! Well, I had the grill grate but not the rest of it. I realized I could use some of my new blocks to make it happen and Bam!, chicken...It only took five minutes to assemble and I can move or reconfigure it as needed (no mortar). Myself and guests were all impressed at how well the blocks shielded the heat from the coals. The outside of the blocks at the hottest places were still completely cool to the touch. Actually cooler than the ambient air temp, amazing.
