You betcha. Chunk Charcoal > *
And flavor woods.
Burgers last night. Maple-soy-glazed wild salmon the night before. Tri-tip sirloin and chicken are on deck for the weekend nights; we'll probably go out tonight.
My wife god bless her sucks at grilling and bbqing... she's a great cook.. but something about putting it on the grill totally perplexes her... her attempts always wind up as Carbon on the outside, cold and raw on the inside.
Now, whether its because she can't figure it out? Or just prefers that she doesn't have to do the cooking when the grill is in use and sabotages herself intentionally I don't know.
I had the honor of watching her and one of her girlfriends light a gas grill once.... they both were lucky to escape with their eyebrows in tact... So for the safety of all involved, if a grill or fire is involved I am the one cooking the main course.
You know how to cook.
It's been over 90 deg. here for several days.
To ease the air conditioner burden in the house, I've done much of the cooking on the gas grill.
With a little experimenting it makes a good oven.
Haven't tried a cake yet though. :)
LOL!!!!!!!!!!
I hadn't thought of THAT movie in years!
I never understood the point of gas grills - it's like cooking on the kitchen stove. Charcoal grills are where it's at - I love pouring gallons of lighter fluid on the briquets,touching the lighter to them, and WHOOMPH - flames shooting ten feet into the air. I know that's manly because my son and I love to watch this and my wife and daughter stand well away worrying that I'm going to blow myself up!
Awww yeah! It's all about the smoke!
Did my first-ever brisket on July 4th. Started at 3:00AM, done at NOON. Seriously good eats!
For those NOT in the know...it's like a 5 lb slab of beef jerky, except it's tender and juicy!
You ain't all man if that there don't speak to you in places in your head you don't tell no one about :-)

Back in the day, my old man used gaosline on the charcoal. Talk about a fire.
That's the BEST description of a FOON BALL I've heard in years.
You Navy vets in here know what I mean.
My neighbor once asked me to light up her gas grill. A freind of hers just blew one up and she was scared to light it. I went into my house to get some matches and stopped at my small stash of M-80's. I lit the M-80 and tossed it on the ground, as I leaned over the grill pretending to light it, she came out on her deck. I've got my head down over the grill and BOOOOOM! I grab my face and start screaming.
They were good neighbors, I wonder why they moved?
Dude, what the hell is wrong with you!!!
LOL
A slight case of total insanity?
Sure you can. I smoke pork on my gas grill all the time. You just use indirect heat and have some hickory chips in a tray smoking. Takes about 7-8 hours. Granted nothing beats charcoal but you can do pretty good with gas if you know your stuff.
We might take a grilling on this thread. But weber or not you agree with it, you must admit, it does get to the meat of the matter.
