Any outdoor grillers here?

What do you use? What do you cook?

Right now I

I use a weber kettle - gas is for *******.

Smoked a brisket the other day and love doing chickens, pork butts and lamb shoulders.

Will get a pic in here later.

how difficult is doing a brisket?

i use charcoal as well but i've never liked the idea of smoking something over a long period of time. basically, if I can't cook it within a couple of hours while standing in front of it, i'd rather stay away.

Just giving you a hard time. I still love gas grills for te basic stuff and you can actually do a long cook by manipulating the gas grill to smolder wood chips. Check out the YouTube page

Too tired to discuss but brisket is amazeballs.

[DukeDelonte13]

I have a $225 brinkman 4 burner grill that i converted to natural gas. It's 10 years old and needs to be replaced, as the main hood/body of the grill is starting to rust out. Replaced the burners and grates in it once. I've cooked everything on that motherf*cker.

I had a little charcoal smoker and I have an electric smoker. The electric smoker is 100x easier to use but is a real pain in the ass to clean out. Charcoal smokers, especially the smaller ones, are difficult to get a steady temperature which is key to long smokes. I have one of those masterbuilt electric smokers and the build quality on it is garbage. You get great results with it but those things are not built to last.



I'm looking to upgrade my shit though. Money is no object. Thinking about maybe one of those heavy duty units that functions as both. Maybe even one of those ceramic style units.

Brisket is the most difficult meat to smoke and the most rewarding. Love me some brisket. Haven't done one yet this year.

Outdoor grilling is a tradition in my family, so I grew up learning how to prepare meat - cut, season, marinate etc - start a fire from practically nothing, use the spare heat for baking snacks even brewing tea/coffee while the charcoal is still hot.

My favourite set to grill is chicken drumsticks, cubed breast pieces and pork chops with a couple of corn on the cobs smeared with butter and asparagus added late to the foray.

People can hate on gas but it's the best for no-bullshit quick stuff like burgers, dogs and chicken and all that during the week. Even tossing veggies in a basket and sitting that thing on the gas grill does 'em good.

Natural gas is where it's at because who wants to f*ck around with propane tanks.

But I agree, nothing wrong with gas at all.

[glidedrxlr22]

I go basic. Kingsford charcoal and a basic grill. Those gas tanks make me nervous. :hammerhead:

I like to make boneless chicken legs with bbq sauce, carne asada marinated in lemon juice and season salt...and boneless pork chops marinated in teriyaki sauce. I also sometimes throw some corn on their or some nopales. :rockon:

I love it man but I get where you're coming from. Sometimes I like just doing a chicken or a rib roast because it takes <2 hrs.

I also don't have any barbecue restaurants where I live so this is the only way I can eat BBQ - by making it myself.

I picked up a pork butt from the butcher today and going to put it on the weber tomorrow. Will let ya'll know how it goes.

The brisket I posted in the photo took my 12.5 hrs from on the grill to on my plate. Got up at 4:45 AM...the only two times I get up that early are for work or brisket.

Need to try that carne asada.

[Jasper]

I am old fashioned , and use charcoal , and a Weber , Middle size kettle.

Perfect for 1 to 6 people.

I can't imagine grilling with gas,, it just isn't grilling , it is just cooking outside.

People are scared to get dirty , and that is pathetic.

My folks as well as me - used to cook over a wooden fire.

Steaks, brats , burgers , veggies.. bread, all done.
I also grill wild pheasants, but they are cooked inside , then the on the barbie
with Baby Rays for 2 minutes/

Anyway, pork butt I did over the weekend was fantastic. Was on the weber slow cooking for about 9 hrs - rested for 2 hrs. Friends I had over loved it. Got leftovers tonight.

Gonna take a step back from the long cooks I think and get back to maybe tasty burgers, tasty steaks etc. Or shorter cooks. Can't be spending every weekend doing long ass cooks. :lol

Thinking maybe some skirt steak or tri tip.

[Smoke117]

90% of these retards can barely type their own names, but they are going to be able to grill and season a piece of delicious slice of meat? Ugh. GO fukk and kill your mother, OP. Or better yet...stand in the corner and watch like the little cuck puss boy you are while I do it.

the thread inspired me. i made my first brisket this year and it came out incredible.

11 lbs, trimmed down about 2 pounds worth of fat. Smoked for roughly 12 hours.


Anybody here ever mess around with a kamado style grill? They seem interesting.

What does this thread even mean in the first place? Doesn't grilling imply you are outside in the first place? Where are all these indoor grillers, straight_altin?

Nice. Pork butt is traditional for Carolina BBQ. I also use a webber kettle. Here's a tip I learned a couple of years ago: The smoke only penetrates the meat for the first hour or so. So if you don't have time to hang around to keep adding charcoal here's a shortcut:

Get the coals going and pushed to one side. Add soaked hickory wood chunks. Smoke the pork butt for 1-2 hours then transfer to a roasting pan with a little water or cider in the bottom. Cover with foil and place in a 200 degree oven for 8-10 hours.

I've tried this method as well as traditional smoking and I can't tell the difference.

Finished off the leftovers last night - think I got a lot of cayenne pepper seasoning in the last of the leftovers based on what I had to do this morning. :lol

I love pulled pork and ashamed to say about as much as brisket. Putting coleslaw on it ruins it though - that's some carolina nonsense.

I never really had to add too much charcoal to my grill. I use the minion method and use kingford professional charcoal which burn for quite awhile. That brisket I did for 12 hrs and only added more coals once.

What I do is, I put a bunch of unlit coals on one side and put a 1/4-1/2 chimney of lit charcoal on top. This 1/4-1/2 chimney will then get your grill to the starting temperature real quick (250-275 F) instead of fighting to try and bring the temperature down after. Although, I do try to ramp it up as hot as possible for hygienic purposes by leaving the vents wide open. It's just easier to get the temperature down after this by closing the bottom vent and cracking open the top vent a little.

These coals will burn and light all the coals beneath it slowly so you can do long cooks. It was cold the other day so I added about five coals twice at about 6 and 7 hrs which wasn't an issue.

Plus, I don't know if this matters in an oven, you don't get the benefit of using a water pan which will create moisture in the air and keep the meat juicy. This is huge for chicken and briskets - any meat really. Gotta keep everything moist.

Just doesn't feel right putting it the oven at all from an aesthetic point of view. :lol Plus, can't share photos of that on instragram.

From a logistics perspective as well, you can cook in the weber and the oven at the same time. Get that meat ready and that dessert going later. Or whatever else you wanna put in the oven. You can even do potatoes during the cook or do husked corn immediately after.

Although, you are the king chef on ISH so I mean all this with no disrespect.

Just bought this guy... I prefer charcoal but needed something for convenience. Awesome thing about this besides the price point is that it has a smoker tube (I plan on using an a-maze-n) and a griddle that comes with it. The lid is def. unique with the see-through and it's insulated for better heat retention. Couple other things that I like are that it has a stainless grate and burners (inferior to cast iron but honestly, they rust out for me since I'm looking at the ocean when using the thing). Pretty awesome setup for about 300 bucks.

My wife also makes some smelly food every so often so the side burner will come in handy.

Mine wont be here until next week... stay tuned!

[petezahut]

gotta go with charcoal.

Lamb shoulder I did the other day. Came out amazing. The bone pulled right out.

Shredded it lightly and made it into sandwiches and tacos. I find lamb a nice alternative to brisket when you want that meaty flavor but not as heavy. It also doesn't take nearly as long as brisket.

All done on the weber charcoal kettle indirectly. 250-325 F shooting for about 205 F. Threw in some wood chunks in the beginning to give it a slightly smokey flavor.

[Norcaliblunt]

Better for you if you eat meat raw. In fact if you don’t cook it, it’s a super food that can heal and support your body. Grilling is horrible.

[DoctorP]

fock yeah. outdoor grilling rules

https://i.ibb.co/Ks5k63H/0-F8-A83-EA-6269-4-FA6-8871-B8423-B283-CBB.jpgWife and I put it together Friday... took almost two hours but glad it’s done. Suppose to be in the 80s today so it’ll get it’s first use today with veggie skewers and Asian marinated chicken breast.
