Hi Jyaku; I put my coals to one side and use a couple fire bricks to hold them there. This really creates an intensely hot zone over the coals as well as a relatively cool side for indirect. Trying to corral them in the middle would be fine and you might consider using charcoal baskets to...

Needs a bit of TLC. http://monterey.craigslist.org/for/5175795907.html

Welcome Gill!! Please send wine. Thank you. :smilekettle:

That had me laughing pretty hard Dustin! I've tried a few of their recipes and they can be just over the top in a lot of work and prep... That said, the chicken roulade is just outstanding! Best I've ever had. Of course it necessitated me buying meat glue (Transglutaminase) and skinning a...

John; it's on my list of must dos as well. It opens at 11:00 and the lines are always long and sells out everyday. Consider hiring this young entrepreneur to get your place in line. http://www.bonappetit.com/entertaining-style/pop-culture/article/bbq-fast-pass-desmond-interview

Hi Mark; I'm a fan of ATK.... but am skeptical of this method of cooking a steak. I much prefer to use my Weber and have had excellent results using several different methods - reverse sear, sous vide, etc. Like Len, I can see where a lot can go wrong freezing meat and then attempting to cook...

I second or third Robert's set up; great way to have different zones. Those bi-metal dome thermometers are just guides to go by - not known for accuracy or reliability. For less than $30, you can get a really good "instant" read digital thermometer. I gave these away to friends last...

Beautiful Geir; dramatic and winter is still a long way off.

I follow Alton Brown's recipe except that I add Spanish Chorizo and shrimp at the very end (the residual heat is sufficient to cook the shrimp). I find this is also tastier if you have your own chicken stock - a good reason to save those bones! Anyway, the prep takes about 30 minutes and the...

Nate; that is excellent! Beautiful crust.... Fantastic job.

Rich; looks great! What temp was the water bath?

I did these some time ago for a good size party and just recently did 4 tritips for another party. Frankly, this Anova is a great little machine and has no problem heating up the water in this cooler to temp quickly and holding it just fine. The cooler holds just about 6 gallons of water as...

Hmmmm..... I'd get the rotisserie for sure. Until Weber comes out with a 26" performer, I'm sticking with my 22.5" performer and I've got a couple kettles for extra room/company if necessary. I've picked up more than one used kettle on Craigslist for next to nothing. Some guys here have both...

Hi Peter; I've done an Atlanta Brisket which was featured on Cooks Country... an affiliate of America's Test Kitchen twice. It uses 2 cups of Coca Cola and delivers a wonderfully flavored meat and a rich sauce to serve with it. I'm copying the recipe I used below. It really is a nice...

Thanks Jose; I've been to Tampa and dined at the Columbia restaurant. I had a great meal and wonderful experience there! Really, if anyone is ever in the area, they should do all they can to experience their wonderful food, ambiance and extensive wine list. I have been in California all my...

My wife and I hosted a small gathering of like minded steak aficionados for a tasting a week ago.... I grilled some wonderful choice cut top sirloins I cut from a whole loin about 2" thick and seasoned with salt. No pictures of the cook, but what we also wanted to do was taste test a variety of...

I've got one of those Weber helmet grills in the garage and have rarely used it. A good friend and Charger fan gave it to me several years ago. Pretty good looking.

Hi Kevin, Hopefully someone will chime in here.... I did pick up a hinged SS grate from Weber direct probably a year and a half ago, but I don't see it offered at their site. You might give customer service a call to see if they've got any in stock. Good luck and Merry Christmas!

Too funny! Nicely done Phil!

Great looking meal Bill! The hens, soup and everything looks fantastic! I haven't tried that soup and will book it soon. I just made 3 qts of chicken stock from the bones of three chickens and soup is next up.
