Tried this yesterday and was impressed with the flavors. I used my cast iron smoker box with apple wood chips to get a bit of a smoky flavor. Grilled on my Genesis gasser. Thanks to Bob Correll for his post about beets that gave me this idea. Beets – peeled and rinsed and patted dry Weber’s...

We are moving to Hilton Head Island, SC next week, so I changed my address in my profile. No longer a North Carolinian. My wife is telling her friends that we are "downsizing to paradise". Going to a smaller home that is all on one level. I will miss the vinegar based Eastern Carolinian BBQ...

My wife has wanted to move to Hilton Head Island, SC for many years. Well, we finally found a place we liked and have a contract to buy a place there. Will be moving from NC to SC in January. No more cold weather with snow and ice! Yeah! I will also share a nice experience with you. The movers...

I used my smoker recently to cook a turkey and realized that the last time I used it was last Thanksgiving – over a year later. Essentially all of my outdoor grilling / cooking / smoking has been on my two year old Genesis gasser, and I have been able to get good smoke flavor. My wife does not...

Was at a friends house recently and for appetizers, she had numerous cheeses and wines. She served a large hunk of gorgonzola with dried cantaloupe chips to be used like crackers. What a wonderful surprise. Try it and you will have an easy new appetizer. I had to look for the dried cantaloupe...

Over the weekend my wife and I visited a kitchen supply store and the sales lady showed us a himalayan salt block. She insisted that it was the newest fad and greatly improved the taste of any grilled items. It was expensive ($39) and I did not buy it. When we got home my wife remembered that...

I frequently see notes that folks have trouble getting smoke on their gasser. I have a cast iron smoker box that sits on one of my burners and produces good smoke and flavor. Yesterday I grilled a capon and here is the smoke I got fot the first 45 minutes of cooking. Capon was so good we did...

Our local farmers market has wonderful tomatoes this time of year, and I decided to try something a bit different. Below is my recipe that is very tasty and quite easy to make. You could probably make it with less cheese and mayo, but this is how my wife and I like it. Enjoy, Ray Tomato...

My wife wanted grilled shrimp for dinner and I never considered taking pictures as I cooked. When everything was plated, she asked for a picture to show her girlfriends what I had fixed her for dinner - so I decided to post that picture. It is grilled shrimp (marinated in tequila and spices)...

I was thinking of all the things I have learned on this site, and tried to narrow it down to the one or two most important lessons (at least to me). My top two are: 1. There are a lot of really nice folks here that can help me with just about anything related to BBQ, grilling, or cooking in...

My wife asked me to grill a chicken so she could make chicken pot pie for her girlfriends later in the week. Simply done with salt an pepper and a bit of olive oil outside. Apple, rosemary, shallot, garlic, and butter inside the cavity. Crispy skin and moist and delicious. She looks lonely...

My wife does not eat red meat and does not like the smell of bacon in the house. I usually cook bacon on the side burner of my Genesis, or by just laying the bacon on the grill. I tried something new yesterday and made an aluminum foil pan. Cooked with lid closed so it was a combo of frying and...

I posted recently that I got a new Geneses 330-S. Here are some pics showing my daughter helping me assemble the grill. She was visiting from Atlanta and we had a lot of fun doing this together. Here we are in the kitchen doing initial assembly. here we are on the deck. My WSM can barely be...

I have a new Genesis 330-S and could not find any instructions on keeping the SS surfaces clean and looking like new. I googled and got a few ideas but was wondering if any members here have a tried and proven method. Any good ideas for me? Ray

My old Weber Genesis Silver is falling apart after 12 1/2 years so I decided I needed to get a new gasser. I just do not want to have to go throught reconditioning the old grill. I ordered a new Genesis S-330 from my local Lowe's and will pick it up tomorrow. The old grill needs a new igniter...
