Happy Birthday to me!!!

[JeffJ]

Over the weekend my Mom gave me this (I picked it up yesterday):


I took a stab at seasoning it and failed epically. I didn't let the fire properly set - didn't have a big enough bed of hot coals. I'm going to take another test run tomorrow. I'm pretty sure I know what things I did wrong.

Today is my actual birthday and both me and my wife had the day off work. We went to the Metro Park nearby and took a long walk and had a picnic lunch:
