On vacation with the family this week in Myrtle Beach staying at one of my favorite places on earth at a beach front campground. I came as a kid and now bring my family down. I got my first brand new Weber grill before and for the trip, a Smoky Joe Premium.
The quinasental meal from my childhood beach camping days was bbq chicken, corn on the cob, boiled potatoes in butter, and those Lipton Chicken Flavored noodles (this is one of the few times a year we eat those packaged noodles). So after putting my new grill together yesterday and going out to eat last night at my son and my favorite bbq joint in the world, tonight was time to get to using my new grill with that classic beach meal.
Time to start getting her dirty, went with 20 briquettes.
Stopped at a local produce stand today and got some corn, shucking it as the coals heated up.
I created a two zone heating area, but primarily used the direct side. I do not usually drink soda, but when I come down south we get Cherrwine. What a great life, setting outside grill at the beach house with I Cherrwine in hand and 90's rock mix from Spotify in the background.
After I sauced them I let them all go on the indirect side for a little while. Then I throw them back on the direct to finish up.
And plated.
That meal brought back so many great memories as I make some more.
I was a little worried about being able to cook on the Smoky Joe. I read a lot of it won't stay lit, to you can only go at warp temps. Today with 20 coals and full vents open and the lid cracked it cooked near perfect. I will go a few more coals next cook and keep learning. I have a few other simple meals planed for this week. I am looking forward to getting to cook on the little grill some more.
