Interesting eBay interaction. I reached out to Dave to see if he would fabricate a heavy duty grate for my Jumbo Joe. To do so, I had to set up an eBay account and send him a message. Somehow that triggered an algorithm and my account got suspended. I sent eBay an email explaining the...

Did a little searching and it doesn't look like he (Dave) makes a grate for the Jumbo Joe (18" round). Best I could find was one made of 7 gauge stainless steal. In the picture that doesn't look any thicker than a standard grate.

Okay, we can add that to the list. They’re in the same price range. What advantage would I get from heavy duty stainless versus the grate that it comes with? I’m sure it would last longer but would it cook any different? Any better?

I’m looking to upgrade the grate for my jumbo joe. Which would be better (I know, subjective) a Grill Grates insert or a cast iron grate. The cast iron seems to be about $20 more but at these prices, price is not a deciding factor between to two. Which one will cook better, clean up better...

Not sure about the “best”, but I’ll be using Rockwood hardwood lump because that’s what I have. (y)

After reading these posts, I’m pretty sure my first cook will just be with the gasser. I have an east west Genesis so I can set the back burner on high and maybe the middle one on low to get over 400 degrees and then indirect them for 40 minutes or so. That will give me a chance to test a rub...

I’m not sure but if they’re whole wings, I will trim them up.

This is the part that’s hard to understand. I cook a nice size boneless skinless chicken breast at 400 in about 10 to 15 min. It really takes 40 minutes to cook a little wing? I’ve seen this in other instructions but it just seems way over the top. I guess they have enough fat to stay moist?

My daughters bought me a meat box as a gift which includes wings. I like wings but have never done them at home. I have a Genesis gasser, a WSM smoker and a Jumbo Joe charcoal grill. I have never deep fried at home and do not want to entertain doing so. With the equipment I have, could...

The ground beef didn't look too outrageous. Grass fed organic ground beef at my local Kroger is $8.50 a pound. SRF waygu ground beef is $14. More, but seems within reason. However, given the feedback, I think I'll pass on this one. Thanks all.

Has anyone tried Waygu burgers? I’ve never had Waygu beef and figured cooking up some burgers would be a good place to start. Wondering if they actually taste any different than a regular burger (thinking they’d have too much fat) and wondering if you would cook them any different. Also...

Wow, no big sale on Kingsford p for Memorial Day. Just a few bucks off. $17.88 for two 16 pound bags. I feel old - “back in my day, Memorial Day was a big charcoal sale time.” Oh well.

Stir fry it is (was). Pretty good but wasn’t much different than when we use chicken. Still, we used up some of the gift box, so that’s good.

Agree. I don’t see the need for freezing. Cooling, yes. Vacuum pack the slices and put in a cooler for travel. Drop the vacuum pack(s) in boiling water to heat them up and you’re good to go.

Costco just sent me a new flyer. Kingsford Professional will be going on sale for $5.50 off. Not sure of the total price - they usually don't sent that out - just the discount. Limit 3. Looks like the 2-pack 18lbs. Starts May 15th.

About the only thing I can think of that we have is the InstaPot. We use it a few times a month. DW likes it for making rice and a few side dishes like potatoes and carrots. This will change a bit because summer is upon us, but a speciality item I like pulling out are our enameled Dutch ovens...

My daughters got me and DW a ButcherBox of meat for Christmas. We’ve been going through the various meats and one has me a little stumped. What would you do with a pound of sirloin tips? I was kind of thinking of a stir fry but I usually use chicken for that. Maybe just cut them into small...

I thought the Memorial Day sale at Home Depot was one of the main sales for the year.

The turkey breast turned out pretty good. A few people thought there was too much pepper but everyone said they were the least dry I’ve ever done. Typical of our group, no one, not even me thought they were good, let alone great. That includes me. I did think they were the best I’ve ever...

In the spirit of doing something different, I’m going to do the Franklin Barbecue turkey breast this year. I found a natural (but frozen) bone in turkey breast. I’ll butcher that today and get it ready for the cook tomorrow. This whole turkey thing is crazy. No one in the family likes it and...
