Anybody grilling?

[Bob Bailey]

Too windy to grill here lately. Had to do some kind of cook other than Instant Pot or stove top, so decided on a loaf of artisan sourdough today. Gotta keep the creative juices flowing

Too much snow here, so we baked as well. Made a dozen bagels from scratch.

I really need to get some baking skills more honed in!

So I pulled out the MM and decided to throw some sliders on it. It performed great. Even getting up to 500 deg I used the topper because the sliders were so small I thought it would be easier

The atmospheric river let up for a bit so I'm smoking some rib steaks.

I'm running low on lump so I picked up a bag of FOGO oak lump. We will see how it goes.

Added some B&B post oak chips thrown on for some extra smoke. Smoking at 250 then I'll reverse sear.



The smoke was too heavy at first to close the lid.




Smoke cleaned up, lids closed, rain is back so it's carefully rolled back under cover. At least there is no wind and it's not that cold at 52 degrees outside.


Edit. Had to adjust a probe...

These are looking good...

I think you have the smoke part figured out just fine.

We want to see the final product!

Blue cheese with a little butter for a sauce.







Paired with an Amador county Tempranillo from Jeff Runquist.

Sunday grilled center cut pork chops on the 1st gen Summit. 3 seasoned with Dizzy Pig’s “Tsunami Spin” and one with just seasoned salt for my wife:

Any observations on the fabbed in cook box panels?

I bought a paella pan a while back 17” was the largest available that would fit on the Genesis.

I used it last week with the WSC on top of the diffuser plate and it worked well containing the drippings from the pork shoulder.

Grilling steaks in a bit and made a double batch of peppers and onions- too much for the grill basket so I figured why not.

Going low and slow and maybe on the WSC for a few minutes once it cooks down.

It was good…

I guess so far, so good. Soon I need to remove the grates and flavorizer bars and do a close examination. I will post an update when I do.
A very enjoyable grill to cook on .

Some plank salmon and asparagus on my mom's E320 sidewinder.

Thankfully she has a covered deck.

What are your thoughts on grilling fish on a plank?

 

[DanHoo]

I like it. I reuse the planks so they have a char on them.

Its not for everyone. Some don't care for the flavor.

These were really simple seasoning. Salt and evoo.

Cedar planks? Do you just buy them from the lumber yard or do you buy them specifically made for grilling. I will probably give it a shot this summer

These were for grilling. I bought a 20 pack many years ago. I get at least 10 cooks per plank. I need to get more, but haven't found ones I like. Not all cedar is equal.

True! I have gotten some that were “cheap” and I got what I paid for! My big issue is I like to do bigger pieces and they do not always fit on commercially available planks, life is so difficult!

Can you call it grilling if you cook on a piece of steel?
