I'm on a diet. It sucks. I had a physical. Not so good. 20 lbs. over 5 years ago. High blood pressure. High lipids, cholesterol etc... All the bad stuff you don't want to hear in your 50's. Entered a body transformation program which unfortunately does not include barbecue at this time...

I always love Memorial Day weekend. I guess its since its the first holiday off work since New Year's Day. And we dig into the memories and remember loved ones we miss so much. Started the weekend off with some cheeseburgers. Not sure if this is even post worthy but here are some pics of our...

Does anyone have any experience taking a bag of wood chunks and pouring it into a chimney and using the coals to cook steak over? It sounds really good to me but a little expensive. We used to eat at this steakhouse when we lived in Missoula that cooked all of their steaks over wood coals in a...

There used to be a thread of charcoal pics that everyone contributed to and I wanted to bump it but i'll be darned if I can find it. It was one of my favorites. Anyway here is an entry.

First I have to say the inspiration for this post came from Rich G's excellent brisket post a couple of days ago. Kim and I were looking at the pics and she asked if I would make a brisket since we haven't had one since last summer. So I bought a brisket at Costco and last night trimmed it up...

There's something about Fridays. After a long week of work its just nice to relax with a good dinner. Steaks are always good. I was pretty busy with the cook so I didn't get very good action shots but here is our Friday dinner. Seasoned with simple salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion...

Maybe to those who buy brisket a lot this is normal. I went to Costco after work to buy a brisket flat to cook on the kettle tomorrow. I found a flat I liked but the price was pretty high. They were choice flats. Then I looked in the next bin and there were prime whole packers for a lot less...

Hello all. Snapped a few photos of tonight's steak dinner. We haven't had rib eyes in quite a while. I used the griddle to try and give them a good crust. There are so many great steak posts on the site that I feel a little lacking in this cook. But this was our dinner and...

We wanted to cook something easy that would allow us to watch the great hoops on TV. We haven't made spatchcock chicken for quite awhile so we decided to give it a go. It all starts with Kim making campfire potatoes from some red potatoes we had in the pantry. I cut the backbone out of...

We had Kim's niece in town tonight for her daughter's dance recital on Saturday (ah the memories!). Of course we had them stay at our house and of course I want to make some good barbecue for our guests. Luckily I had this week off work on vacation so I was able to put a whole day into it. I...

Hello all, we had our first nice day in awhile so I wanted to cook outside. Cooked a simple meatloaf. Here are the pics. Diced some onions and seasoned the meat with a recipe I got online. With the lit and unlit coals, about a chimney full. On the grill with a ketchup based sauce from...

Can anyone recommend any knives that are good quality that won't break the bank? We've been using these Sams Club knives for about five years and we would like something better.

Its been since October since we have had ribs. We have been trying to carve out some time to cook them and today was the day. It was worth the wait! I spread mustard on the ribs and put our rub on them. Prepared the grill and put the ribs on. Bone to fire and apple wood. At two and a...

We haven't spun a chicken for a long time so tonight we decided that it sounded really good. We made an herb butter that I spread under the skin as well as all over the bird. I got the grill fired up and into action. Kim got the red potatoes cut up and ready for the grill...

We haven't had steaks for a very long time but Sunday we decided to splurge for dinner and have a great meal. It was really fun to grill steaks on the Weber again. I marinated the steaks for about three hours before grilling. Potatoes on, mushrooms started inside later. Seared on...

Hello! Its been a long time since I've posted a dinner! I wanted to share our meal today. Every good meal starts with great ingredients so here we go. Grilled the chicken and Kim made wonderful Guac. She changed into some more comfy clothes for the cooking, We diced up the...

Hello everyone. Its been awhile! Due to life's crazy way of happening we haven't even been cooking outdoors much. I regret this and have missed all of the great people on the forum. But today everything worked out. We got some chicken quarters on sale and had some time to cook outside on...

I wanted my first cook on my new to me grill to be ribs but due to time constraints I had to grill rather than barbecue. I am a believer that if grills could think they would want to be used to make great meals. So I broke out my new grill with some chicken. It was really nice getting the...

Kim has been wanting a gas grill for a long time for quick after work cooks. We only have charcoal at this time. I saw this on craigslist for cheap and told her. She took the bull by the horns and went out and bought it. It needs some rehab. From what I have read Weber does not sell parts...

Kim and I were taking the dogs down by the river for a walk when Kim saw this grill at a garage sale. We stopped and for $10.00 is was ours. I have been looking for different grills at garage sales and craigslist forever and finally found one. Its got some definite rusts spots and I don't...
