Welcome Chi. Lots of folks from here in Georgia on this site. Looking forward to seeing how you do with the restoration.

Parboiling is partially cooking them in boiling water before putting them on the grill something like this. Great looking food.

Great cook. I see a kettle grill in your future.

I had mine on a B&D Workmate before I found a folding cart on CL for $20. The cart really makes moving the grill around so much better. To me the cart is great but wait until you find one on sale or on CL. IMO it is overpriced.

That's my kind of food, especially the chuck eyes. Just need to keep the goodness of the chuck eye steaks to ourselves or the prices will go through the roof like they have for tri tip.

I also have a Summit S-420 and I have observed the same drop in temperatures that you describe. I personally have never worried about it because it recovers within a few minutes and it seems to have absolutely no affect on the cooking itself. I think it has to do more with the positioning of...

I have seen this discussed numerous times and the consensus is that it it really not practical. I really love the gas assisted starting, but it is not a show-stopper to me. What you will learn to really appreciate is the work table and the overall height of the grill.

I would really encourage you to spend some time online and look at some of the various cooking possibilities that Weber kettles offer before you give up on the Performer. If you get a chimney starter and some cube starters, they will make your charcoal experience much better. It is pretty...

How did the fish work cooked on the two levels on planks? It is giving me some ideas.

Had a big day of grilling today. I decided in preparation for the upcoming Grillfest that I wanted to make everything for a three course meal using a grill. It was a pretty ambitious menu and I used four different grills for cooking. Here is the layout of my grilling area for today. Sorry...

Actual warm up time is not all that much different. Depending upon the conditions and your particular gasser, it will take an honest 10-15 minutes to get it up to temp for cooking. !5 minutes is probably the norm for me, although if I am doing something really quick like brats or dogs on the...

You need to buy a lottery ticket. You're on a roll. Better watch out with this buying grills to flip. It is like fostering puppies. It's too easy to fall in love with them. Pretty soon you will have more grills than you can count. Don't ask me how I know. :rolleyes:

You definitely nailed the tenderloin. Cooked perfect.

Although most of us were always taught to never use soap when cleaning CI, I was surprised when I looked at this video put out by Lodge. It indicates that you can use soap if you want.

I agree. It rocks. I got one as a Christmas present and absolutely love it. I use it much more than I thought I would. It is perfect for starting both the mini and my 18.5 WSM using the Minion method as well as doing a "hot refuel" for both. Another use I have for it is for lighting lump to...

Chris - I think we all are assuming you are talking about beef back ribs and not short ribs. Both can be done LNS, but the short ribs really benefit greatly from placing them in a braising liquid as part of their preparation. As Gary mentioned, for beef back ribs you really need to ensure that...

Definitely a nice looking area. As far as the thermometer goes for normal grilling, I use it for general reference to measure how my fire is today rather than trying to dial in an exact temperature. The only time I really pay attention is when I am smoking something to make sure I am somewhere...

Big Mike - better watch out when you go down the cast iron road. If you are like a lot of us, you will find that you will soon be looking for more storage space because they can multiply on you very quickly. ;) I love using CI for making hashbrowns. Just remember, bacon fat is your friend...

Couldn't ask for anything better than that. Looks great.

Tony - awesome looking food. I am sure it tasted just as good as it looked. Great job.
