2022 Official Gratuitous Grilling/BBQ/Cooking Thread

[Timjoebillybob]

I almost picked one of these up from Bailey's. Let us know how it runs.

Sure will, now to find a heat deflector for it. I was thinking of trying this one. When I pick it up I'm going to take some measurements but it should work.

Robot or human?

After buying the grill and checking out the accessories, I think I'll end up having more wrapped up in them than the grill. But I'm sure I'm going to enjoy it, can't be any worse than an old Brinkman offset that you have to babysit every hour or so, and just eats charcoal if it's cold or rainy. I will say in decent weather I've been able to stretch it out to 2-3 hours between tends doing the charcoal snake method though. I can't really complain about her too much though, almost 19 years and all I've had to replace is the charcoal grates and thermometer. It needs all new wood and a good refinishing which I figure I'll be able to do a tear down and rebuild after I get the new one up and running.

I've pretty much only ever used an offset or a weber style kettle so I'm sure there is going to be a heck of a learning curve.

Fixed up some THICC chops this evening. Seasoned them and put them on the pit with some apple wood. Pulled them when they hit 138. Finished them off on the Blackstone with some butter for that sear/crust

I meant to post this several days ago and forgot. I didn’t take any pics but I believe I’ve cracked the code for making the best chicken fried rice on my griddle. If The surface isn’t so hot you cook the entire thing in a frenzy afraid it’ll burn, you’re not doing it right.

So I take it you want a hot ass griddle and cook it quick like a Benihana chef.

Don't know if it's all Meijer locations, but my local store has the double bag (40#) Kingsford charcoal for $17.95 this week

Just ordered a Camp Chef SG30 pellet grill. Never smoked before so this should be fun to start with. Planning on getting some grill grates so maybe I can get hot enough to sear steaks too. If not I can always fire up the charcoal kettle.

Getting a brisket dethawed so I can get rubbed with fresh cracked pepper meddley and smoked sea salt for overnight.

We enjoyed these filets on Saturday. It was a beautiful afternoon for grilling.

Did some more bacon yesterday, did a chicken a couple of days ago.

Finally broke down and shelled out for a Big Green Egg. Had a friend over for steaks to try it out. I was a little nervous about operating the thing, but it worked exactly like I had read. Light. Wait 8 minutes with lid open. Lid closed. Vents open. 15 minutes later. 550 degrees. No problem. Steaks were amazing.

That first one you did looks a little undercooked.

You haven't lived until you tried chicken sushi. Don't worry about salmonella because it's not salmon.

Why are you re-freezing it?
