charcoal grill, not gas, this is a little high-low, but mostly low that’s why it tastes so good. this is when you’re surprise cooking for your favorite person bc you love them

1 stick of butter
1 bag instant light charcoal
1 small wedge of real gooey almost yellowy blue cheese (the stankiest you can find)
1 piece of fatback

1 bag of the crustiest onion rings in the freezer section (alexa’s are good)
