Weber is pure and utter overrated garbage. Nothing different from your ordinary 1967 backyard BBQ except the over exaggerated price.

I guess if you're cooking ALDI'S SWEAT SHOP BEEF from the "Use Today Or Freeze" section then I guess its ok.

Choose that kind of beef because it doesn't require too much sophistication.

I make my own lump charcoal. This way I can make bigger pieces for longer cooks.





STAY POSITIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You aren't being truthful. Very few people have as many lumps as you.

Fuck.....Old people are depressing. They can literally talk about anything.

Who gives a shit. Either you can cook or you can't. Stop acting like you guys are the wizards of flavor. You just come off as trying too hard.

Your desire to be acknowledged must be metered by actually thinking before you post.

Imagine these people were standing around in real life, discussing their grilling.

Now imagine you burst into the group, tell their they're fucking depressing and stop talking about rubbish topics.

Do you think that would go well?

This website doesn't work that way. I suggest Pintrest.

You have to be fucking retarded if you are going to cook your dinner in a sand castle. Just think, the neighborhood cat comes over and shits in your sand pile. So the first time you slide your rump roast in (no pun intended Vince) the heat melts the cat shit and it drips down on your rump............roast. Now you end up with a shit glazed roast. No thank you!  :-X


Did I not just say to watch the entire series on the ovens.... ::)

Big Green Eggs are great.

I have owned one for 7 years.  I cook on it every week.  At least once.

Best buy. I just BBQ'ed lobster and shrimp to make Mac and Cheese. I have one at home and one at my beach house in Rodanthe. The one in Rodanthe is locked up and never used by Tourons.

The one problem or gimmick with the egg is they get you on everything. You have to buy the legs, the indirect heating plate.

I just bought the Kickash basket. That was a good buy since you can shake your lump charcoal and not waste any or plug up your air.

I also purchased for about $400 was a digital air damper fan, pit probe and meat probe. It connects to the phone and it regulates oxygen to help with longer cooks. You NEED this because just screwing around with the damper doesn't help...you'd be going insane trying to cook a brisket for 10 hours.

All in all I'm very happy with it.

I've invited True Adonis and Vince G to my house for a BBQ but they never answered me. Of course I know the teacher for licensing electricians in NC and heard about falcon...I posted that last year...too long to rehash garbage.




STAY POSITIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Once you learn about your egg, smoking at 215-225 for 12 hours is a breeze.  It does take a couple tries to figure out the dampers and the amount of charcoal to use.  Now I can get to temp in about 20 minutes and just slap my meat and leave it to smoke all day.  I have a dual probe remote thermometer and it just shows 210-220 all day.  The breeze can affect it a bit but otherwise it's so fucking steady.  Once the brisket is done, I open the dampers right up and get the temp sizzling up to 600+ and roast the fuck out of the corn and get a great crispy chicken.

This and a Weber is all that's needed for perfectly grilled food.  You just have to learn how to play around with the heat & vents depending on what you're cooking.

A whole turkey slathered in peanut oil & seasoned cooks in half the time of a conventional oven and the smokey flavor goes all the way to the bone. Tender and juicy, Betty Crocker picture perfect.

Agree 100%. You can cook anything to perfection with charcoal and a decent grill.
