Although if I had the money I wouldn't hesitate to buy one of those $1500 stainless steal weber grills at Home Depot. 😉

EDIT: And no tongs, A real man uses his bare callused hands to flip. 😛

wow if your walmart has webers for $20 thats great! i havent seen them that cheap ever!

Little tabletop ones that are rated for 8 burgers I think.

the little smokeyjoe? hmm when i got mine it was like $40 ro so

Year round... though I really don't grill on a consistent basis. I may grill several times in single week and then go a month without. But, yeah, I will grill in a foot of snow.

I think we got our Weber Smokey Joe for around $20-$25 at Target. That's all I've used until this year when we go the Weber Smokey Mountain. I'll still use the Smokey Joe for steaks, burgers, chicken, pork chops, and vegetables. As for only flipping the steak once...you've got to turn 45 degrees, flip, turn another 45 degrees, and then be done. Perfect grill marks, all your friends then think you are some fancy chef. 😉

So far with the smoker I've cooked ribs (Alton Brown's rub recipe...slightly modified), ham, turkey, and standing rib roast. THAT is some of the best meat you will ever have.

BTW, I think I am going to have to grill tonight thanks to this thread. I'm kind of in the mood for chicken. Anyone have any good grilling suggestions for chicken that doesn't require any sort of overnight marination (since I obviously can't do that if I want chicken tonight)?

for years all i had was the small smokey joe or the huge 22inch one. the 22inc was to big when it was just me and the wife and the smokey joe sits to low to the ground.

but they have one in between. a 18inch grill that is just the right size for 2-4 people.

We live in an upper and if we ever need anything bigger, the neighbors downstairs have the 18" and a big 24" Charbroil grill.

Does anyone use the chimney starters for charcoal? I got one last summer and now I have 2. I haven't bought lighter fluid since getting them, so I have an almost full can sitting with my grill stuff.

i love my chimney starter. last time i ran out of paper so i used a little starter fluid to get it started. only took 10 minutes (or less) to get the charcoal ready.

I needs some details.

Take chicken, put your favorite rub on him and good portion of the rub into a half drinken can of your favorite beer.

Shove beer up chicky butt, chicky is now sitting on his beer throne.

cook at 350, coating with your favorite homemade (or store bought) bbq sauce the last 10-15 minutes. Even better if you have some smoke wood handy.

Don't use soap and water! The oils in the foods you cook are what season the cast iron. Soap and water removes those oils and then the grates can rust. Just scrape it clean with a grill brush at the end of the season and before you cook the first time. Preheat it for a bit longer the first time you use it to kill off anything that may be harmful.

Yes the link you posted was exactly it.

Save yourself the time and trouble and just buy the match light kind (BJ's has a great price on two bags), one flick of a match and the whole thing catches and within five minutes you are good to go.

i love doing two things as "additions" to eating MEAT...
1) Take a whole clove of garlic, cut the top 8th off... put it in a tinfoil pouch with a bit of olive oil and salt and drop it in with the coals. Let it cook for about 30-40 minutes. It will have soft cloves of garlic that are extremely sweet to spread on fresh french bread.

2) Take corn, removing the husks most of the way (but do not tear them off). Brush corn with olive oil and seasoning salt and put husks back over cob of corn. tie husks at the top of corn cob and let grill until nicely browned on the outside. The inside will be very tasty.

I don't like the flavor that the matchlight charcoal imparts to my food. I use hardwood charcoal in the grill and standard briquets and wood chunks in the smoker.

I would like to apply for the position of king grillmaster. I need to provide photos to you guys but I have a computer controlled kamado like this. It makes the *best* food. My ducane is next to it. 🙂

If anyone's interested I have a kabob recipe that's a huge hit amongst my guests.

when i make burgers i start with big ball of meat, and as it cooks i squeeze it down to a thick burger shape with a spatula

You shouldn't do that, it squeezes most of the juices that flavor the meat out of it, and also can make the grill flare up.

Nice grill, although the color could be different. 😉

Blasphemy! I love the blue! It looks like something you'd store your cremated elephant remains in.

Kamados are amazing, I made corn on there after kabobs, people were amazed at the flavor it imparts.

Post some tips to quickly and easily get a charcoal grill lit 🙂
