....whatever blows your dress up. I have a friend that wants his beer lukewarm...not hot or even room temp, but certainly not cold.
I would probably cook on my grill every day in the summer, if my wife would let me.
Last night I grilled some thick boneless pork chops, 2 Vidalia onions and some fresh corn out of my garden.
Life is good.
Jersey corn?!?!
You in Jersey? Exit 2 here.
Jersey Silver Queen is the BEST!
How do you make a cat go "Woof"?
Douse it in gas and throw a match at it.
Where did you buy it? HD, Lowe's? I'm thinking/hoping I might catch one at the end-of-season sale.
I got mine at Lowe's - it does a great job. If you want the version with the side fire box, I strongly recommend, however, that you let them assemble it for you. I bought mine "in the box" and the assembly was a little more difficult than I anticipated.
The main grill section only took about 20 minutes, but adding the side fire box took another hour and a half! The reason is there are tack-welded metal plates that have to be knocked or drilled out before attaching the firebox. If you're doing this in a well-equipped workshop it's not a problem, but doing it in your yard or, e.g. on an apartment balcony is a bit harder. I didn't have a drill handy and had to do some serious hammering with a punch!
Sure sounds like it.
Amazingly, my in-laws, who were over for a 4th of July picnic, had never heard of grilling corn.
Actually, I have an outside electric grill. It has lava rock under the heating element that acts like hot coals. I just drop a handfull of wood chips on the rock and it provides a wonderful smoke flavor to the meat.
Yup, Brinkmans are $$.
I've been smoking with the Aussie BBQ from the Depot. Coals & chips in front, meat in the back. Just enough room for 1 rack of spareribs. Does just fine, but I'm ready to move up into something bigger and better suited to the purpose.
I'm looking for something in the $200 range, looks like this is it. I'd just like to see it first.
>>You never have to struggle to get the coals lighted
A buddy of mine has solved that problem. Puts the coals in one of those starter chimneys, and places that over the 100,000+BTUh propane burner for a turkey fryer for about 5 minutes. Gets the coals started really quickly.
You've gotten over the terrible ankle boo-boo, yes? :D
Cool! Our "George Foreman" has a stand so we can use it outside if we want to.
Yeah, I just got one with a side-burner, so I'll even boil water for pasta outside, on a hot day.
A friend of my dad's was getting ready to go out Saturday night with his wife. Her hairspray can was clogging and she sprayed it repeatedly into the toilet to clear it.
When she was done, her hubby had to go the the bathroom before they left. He sat down on the toilet, and then dropped his smoked cigarette (still lit) into the toilet.
Launched him off the seat so hard he hit his head on the shelf over the toilet. So he had to go to the emergency room for stitches and second-degree burns on his arse.
Something you might not have tried.
I have a 'frying pan' with holes in it. Think I got it at BB&B.
Slice summer squash, zuchini, mushrooms,green peppers, onions. A little olive oil and grill them in the pan while doing the steaks. Start the veggies first.
Yummy
Thanks for the laugh!
One of the best 'balls of flame' I've seen comes from water sprayed on a grease fire. Some years ago I used to work in a restaurant which, upon request, would cook steaks in what we called 'Pittsburgh style' - steak cooked in a stainless steel pan on a gas burner, pour in melted butter and let it catch fire - the steak comes out medium-well to well-done on the outside but rare on the inside. After the steak is done, squirting the dishwasher spray hose at the burning pan results in a ball of flame rising up to greet the ceiling tiles.
It is VERY well made for the price.
Thanks!
Understand the difficuly potential with side-box assembly. But I have tools and patience. The result will be well worth the effort. Especially since Mrs. Red and the little Reds love my Q. It's good to be me :-)
See my trusty old Weber off to the side?
I didn't have the heart to trash it, so I took it down to our party cabin on the Tar River.
