My father in-law got me a Weber Kettle grill as an early birthday present. I assembled it yesterday and plan on using it today for some burgers. It's being baptized by a thunderstorm right now.

I got a small(It's about a 15cm square) dehumidifier, I don't expect it to help much with the heatwave but I can see results of it in the collection tank already after only being on for a few hours.

I've spoken twice since I last mentioned the no speaking so that's an improvement.
