Grilling

[marketdawg]

Y'all could use turkeys.

This thread inspired me to bring home a good ole classic Weber home with me from Wally World.

All I cook on with all-natural lump charcoal. I do have a side-box smoker I picked up at Academy years ago. I'm not sure of the brand but it works just fine.

I was going back and forth between the Weber and a side-box smoker. I love to BBQ (even though I'm not that good at it). We've been a gas family for a while and while I love the convenience, I could never get it hot enough to sear a steak the way I like it. I can do some indirect grilling and get a decent smoke flavor with the Weber. Can't wait to put it together and get to work! In-laws are coming in tonight and I think I may have to show off a little.

What everyone else said and I use crushed up Saltines, CheeseNips, or bread. This helps out big time.

CheeseNips? I gotta ask how you thought of that one.

i hope you're doing that with a sirloin or new york strip. that would be sacrilege if you did it with a ribeye or filet, but it might make a sirloin worth eating.

i love to grill ribeyes, and i keep it simple. get the coals really hot and close to the grate. then cover both sides of the steaks with kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne. rub it in good and throw it on until each side is charred. should wind up about medium rare. the perfect steak.

then if you want to get fancy, toss some quartered zucchini in olive oil, salt, pepper, and minced garlic. then throw them on the grill while the steaks rest. sweet squashy goodness.

Nah. I don't do that with Ribeyes. They are fine by themselves.

The drunk chicken turned out GREAT! I seasoned it with Tony's and garlic salt.

Here is the finished result:

Yes, interesting minds want to know....

It does sound good though

Tried something different (for me) this eve.

Made a couple pizzas over charcoal on my kettle.

Discovered I didn't have any mozzarella on hand, so made do with some Parmesan and cheddar. Mostly like LOTS of toppings on my pizza, anyhow; not so particular about the cheese.

Used a homemade rig for indirect heat; had to scrounge to find some 12 oz. cans (32 oz. wouldn't fit under the lid )

How did they turn out?

Did you take pictures of the finished product? How did they turn out?

Used Cowboy lump charcoal 'cause it burns really hot, but forgot how quickly it burns up. That, coupled with the fact that the rain came blowing in, and the outside temperature dropped like a rock => couldn't keep the cookin' temperature up as high as I wanted.

Crust was not quite brown enough, not anywhere near brown enough on the 2nd pizza.

Needed MORE FUEL; MORE FIRE.

Next time, I'll def. do better. :icon_wink:

Stole it from my cousin. My guess is that he didn't have any crackers or bread.
