Weber Time!

[DARK30]

The art of WEBER

Been cooking all winter off and on but it suddenly got more fun. Gas is easier but charcoal is soooo much better.

Ah! A perfect med rare

[delcecchi]

That looks way better than what I had for supper.

A1 ???? shame on you!

[eyeguy 54]

nice pic

[leech~~]

Did you start the tators earlier?

[DARK30]

I nuke the spuds till they're pretty much done then rub olive oil on um. My wife likes Her steak marinated in teriyaki and I just go with some rib rub ... and yes, a little #1

Looking forward to playing with the smoker this year...still in the box.

[BLACKJACK]

I'll have to try that with the potatoes!! When I grill I usually do them in foil with onions but this would be something different -- and easy!!

[McGurk]

You magnificent bass tard! Well done! I smoked up ribs with some lump and pecan chunks myself yesterday, and enjoyed every minute of it.

Nothing beats the smell of that 1st warm spring day and all the Weber's firing up in the neighborhood. I have to come out of the proverbial closet on the sauce. I know it's frowned-upon, and the True Griller's mantra is that NO SAUCE BE NEEDED IF YOU KNOW HOW TO COOK IT! But I absolutely LOVE A-1 and the only time I don't ask for it is when we really drop some $$$ on a nice restaurant like a Manny's, etc. The quality of beef is a whole other level at places like that. Otherwise it's always got a spot on my plate when steak is on the menu Kudos to you, Dark! It took a lot of courage to post that pic

Charcoal is the only way to go. You'll like those steaks so much you'll throw that A-1 in the garbage where it belongs!

You gotta use A-1 if you use charcoal. It helps get rid of the burnt pine, borax, and sodium nitrate taste. If you really want a good steak start yourself a nice fire with some pieces of oak with a little cherry or apple wood mixed in, and when the fire has reduced to coals through the steaks on. It takes quite a bit longer to get the coals ready but it is so worth it. If you still feel the need to use A-1 I won't hold it against you.

That is why we have a Memphis wood pellet grill. We can use any flavor wood we want, we prefer Mesquite and get the grill up to 600-650 and let the smoky flavor go at it. I always kept a gas grill for searing steaks until I bought the Memphis grill once we used it a few time we no longer have gas. Best wood pellet grill we have ever had. Ribs, pork butts, brisket, chicken and sear a steak as well. Not a cheap grill but well worth the cost IMHO.

for years of saying tartar sauce on walleye was lame it's become a staple for me to use. Whatever floats your boat. My preference is country music but I also like Katy Perry bee bop music. Use all the A1 that makes you happy.

[bobberineyes]

Yep its all personal preference, after several decades of cooking on charcoal the only change we look forward to is the open pit...

[DARK30]

Mines full of water right now but can't argue with hardwood coals in the pit!

I also don't mind a little Heinz 57 if I have sauteed onions and mushrooms to go along with it .... and the only thing you need with the rib is creamed horseradish

[gunner55]

Weber kettle with charcoal year around for us.Even use it for smoking & it's OK to use A1

[leech~~]

I'm sure if you use it in a liberal manner, it will be OK!

[bobberineyes]

I sure hope I didn't jinx us but all the patio furniture came out today, chicken thighs are prepped and ready, Couldn't resist just way to nice. Think I'll leave the gas in the blower just in case.

[eyeguy 54]

grilled some backstraps on the gas grill again today. mmmmmmmmmmmmm! it's all good

[Big Dave2]

[DARK30]

My gas grill has seen its better days. I loved the rotisserie chickens and roasts but it quit working. Big bucks for a new (good) one too.

Chicken on my mind today as well...no talk of snow blowers on here please

I like to shut the grill up tight after I'm done cooking...it saves a lot of btu's for the next go around.
