    Chili

    Stout went into the chili. Brown ale went into me. It was a fun cook and a good day. We followed it up later in the evening with some S'mores.

    Chili

    I hope you all will forgive me this cook isn't on a Weber, but I just had to share. With a high of 67 and sunny, I figured this was the perfect time to give this a shot. Preheating the dutch oven. Onion, garlic, and jalapenos... A pound of ground round and a pound of chorizo...

    Poor Man's Burnt Ends

    I keep buying Chuck Roast to make burnt ends, but end up making a smoked pot roast meal with it instead. I'll have to do this sooner or later. Not to take this further off topic, but I sliced some up and boiled them, added them to some refried beans (they curl a little and look like night...

    Best Accessories For 22" Weber Kettles

    I got a 16" carbon steel with two handles, round bottom. Here's the post for when I seasoned it.

    Football?

    Snuck up on me as well. Honestly, I've been watching less football, outside of the Colts, and more English Premier League (Go Toffees!) and Big East basketball (my daughter is a student and member of the pep band- Go Dawgs!). But I am looking forward to seeing how the Colts do, start out...

    What are you cooking on Labor Day weekend?

    I have only been able to find brisket at one local store, and only the flat (to be honest, there is a local butcher that has it, but every time I think to go there, he's out). But yesterday I stopped in a different grocery, that has a great beer selection but is typically short on other items...

    Best Accessories For 22" Weber Kettles

    A nice, big, carbon steel wok. Turn the vortex upside down (wide side up), fill it with coal, slip the wok on the GBS opening over the vortex, and stir fry.

    On the Vortex train... And I'm a believer!

    I love my vortex and it makes great chicken. I also have two other uses for it. I turn it upside down with a disposable pie pan under it when smoking meats using the snake method (coals around the outside, meat over the top, the pie pan filled with water). And I turn it upside down, fill it...

    Weather proof?

    Probably really stupid question. I'm trying to make some more space in the garage and attached work room and am considering what things I can simply move outside. I have gaps between the boards on the top of my work table. If I simply build shelves on my work table, maybe add some wood on...

    Very nice.

    Hello (again) from Indy

    Hello from east central Indiana and please post pics when you get it and show us your cooks. This post has been quite helpful for me as I've just been using my kettle for smoking, had been thinking about a WSM, and it's nice to see this discussion of the sizes. Thanks.

    Steak

    That looks great. I cooked up some rib eyes this past weekend on the kettle, only to have the rest of my family complain because they prefer sirloin because it doesn't have as much fat. I initially started to explain to them why they're wrong, but then thought it'll just be less expensive to...

    Look what I found!

    Of course. Though the crank got stuck on the plywood surrounding it, so only once. Then I had to find a pole to free it up. The only one I have where it is visible (that I took) is this one at night. You can't see it real well, but it is to the right of the chimney. Forgive the step ladder...

    Look what I found!

    You are not the only one to mention that since I found the bell. We are in a historic district and there is a lot of information about the houses in the neighborhood in a book. So we know it did not used to be a school or church (heck, I think it lists all of the owners in the home's history)...

    Look what I found!

    No, not some antique Kettle or anything like that. And this has absolutely nothing to do with grilling or smoking. We've been in the new house (new to us, it was actually built in 1938) for a little over a month and yesterday I went through changing the HVAC filters. One unit is in the...

    Birthday Drums

    Found 12 packs of drumsticks on sale last week and picked one up. My daughter's birthday was Friday and she wanted to have a couple of friends over for a bit Saturday for dinner and ice cream cake. After discussion regarding being smart about distancing and eating outside, and putting out hand...

    Kettle Roast

    That's one of the Weber foil pans.

    Friday 7/24/20 National Tequila Day

    I once put some tequila in a pot of chili I was making when I was out of ale. It was not bad, per se, but it wasn't that great either. Maybe I used too much. That always seems to be the problem with tequila.

    Kettle Roast

    Grillvana I believe. I got it from Amazon.

    Kettle Roast

    My first recipe post. A little history for this one first. A while back, our local Meijer had some nice looking chuck roasts on sale, so I grabbed a few and chucked them in the freezer, planning on making faux burnt ends. But after doing that with the first, which turned out great, I...
