Grills

Well I picked it up and I've prepared it per manufacturer. I just put a couple bone-in chicken breasts and an andouille sausage on there and when that's done these are going on. When you buy yourself a grill on Valentine's day you gotta cook the old lady dinner.

For me it is the Marsh Allan Hibachi 17” x 10” grill. I remember long days at the beach from noon until sunset eating hotdogs and cheeseburgers with the family growing up.

...

oh my god, absolutely this. wow.

Weber kettle master touch 22" with slow n' sear.
and a weber q mid size gas for burgers.
I also have a couple of bullet water smokers that i've acquired for free. they pretty much covers all I need.

Portable Kitchen (pkgrills.com) make their grills from cast aluminum. I have one from the mid 1960s that I still use all of the time. They are basically indestructible and cook really well.

Here are the breasts

Thoes look pretty nice. Is yours gas or charcoal? Pic is a deer I processed this year.

Charcoal. I do not believe they ever made a gas grill. There is nothing fancy to them, but 1/4" thick cast aluminum is not going to get hurt like the sheet-metal stuff most people buy.

can't talk about grills without mentioning the breasts

I use a Weber Kettle grill for everything. I've owned various other grills in the past, and nothing gets better results.

Eh they rust away so quickly here. My in-laws gave us a brand new one in June and it's already showing rust at the fasteners. We live at sea level on a saltwater creek. It's rough on our cars and trucks too. Pic- venison brats I made last season.

Don't get me wrong, they're the yard stick for charcoal. But gas and all stainless construction are what I've been lusting after and this Holland is a fuckin Cadillac.

Yeah. I don't have to worry about salt up here by the great lakes. I'm sure I would change my mind fast if I did. But there's just something about smoking on a kettle that I just love. Probably the attention to detail it takes to get the best results. Makes me feel vastly superior to my buddy that paid 70 for a propane smoker that produces inferior results.

Those brats look great.

damnit. Paid 700 70 would make me the fool.

Thanks man! They didn't last long. Growing up here in eastern NC we love cooking over wood and charcoal we just usually do it in really big pig cookers, or ground pits. Whole hog BBQ is an art form and damn if it isn't fun. Pic- Venison Italian sausage

Nice. We basically have one whole hog setup that gets carted around to every wedding and graduation party in the community. Up around here, very few people have a passion for BBQ, and those of us that do end up becoming fast friends who take turn throwing all of the parties.

I use a traeger. Ive had mine about 7-8 years and I love it and use it all the time. I had to replace some wiring in it ( for the hopper box) but that was cheap and easy. Whenever this one craps out I'll get another.
