We had a mass quantity of home grown asparagus today with grilled burgers.
Some of the spears were bigger around than my thumb. Yum !

btw:
I cook asparagus in a wire fish cooker on indirect charcoal. Turn over at 8-9 minutes. Sprinkled with water, olive oil and a bit of pepper. Plus, some sprinkled jalapeno pepper that I dried and ground into dust with a blender.

Killer !

That sounds good, I’ll put that in my recipes to try file.

Not sure if we will get to grill this year. I have a 17.5” square Sunbeam Patio Master with the wooden/slat tables attached to both sides. Perfectly fine except for the charcoal tray which has totally disintegrated.

Last year I was able to use a disposable aluminum oven drip tray to help, but this year, I don’t think there is enough of it left to do that again.

I have searched for a replacement part, which is supposed to be inexpensive, but have yet to find it. I have looked at some new stuff, but don’t like them.

I have an electric ceramic grill for indoor use, that I could use for the asparagus, but wouldn’t get that smoky flavor.

Sounds excellent! We had a huge crop of it this year and one of my favorite ways was to grill using coconut oil. Some doesn’t have much taste but I use the stuff with a distinct coconut flavor. Funny thing is I’m not much of a coconut fan with the flavor on asparagus (and popcorn) is one of my favorites.
