Perfect grilling day in Ohio (Picture Heavy)

This morning I decided to make a breakfast hash on the Spirit.
I started out by cooking some bacon.
I figured I'd use the bacon renderings:p to cooke up some garlic, onions, mushrooms and peppers in one CIS, and some baked potatoes in the other CIS.

Then I moved all the peppers onions and mushrooms to an aluminum bread pan.
I cooked up about 6 eggs and added the mushrooms onions peppers and potatoes. To this I melted in some white American cheese and crumbled in the bacon.
Missed my opportunity for a photo of it, but it rocked.

Then for dinner I made some more of my rub.

I rubbed down a couple of yard birds and set them up for beer can chickens in the Performer.

I like using my extension ring for beer can chickens because it gives some room between the bird and the lid.

Before I started my vegetables I made a loaf of cheddar beer bread on the Spirit.

I figured while I was cooking I'd clean out the garage where I keep all my grills. I pulled all of them out and decided to get them all in a picture.

By the time I got the garage swept out it was time to start the vegetables.
I sauteed garlic onions and peppers. When the onions started to turn translucent I added squash and zucchini and mushrooms to the mix.
I liberally seasoned this with Old Bay.

The timing was perfect, and the vegetables and chickens came off the grills at the same time.

And after all this I forgot to take a picture of my plate.
It was perfect. The Old Bay in the vegetables worked perfectly with the rub I put on the chickens. I pulled one of the chickens for sandwiches, and the other one I saved for tomorrows soup.

Today was so nice to be able to cook like this with leaves on the trees instead of 8 freezing degrees like I cooked in so often this winter.
 
Wow. Very impressive display of tools , and some nice looking food as well. I would dearly love a slice of that cheddar beer bread ....if you could just slip that in an envelope. (I'll butter it when it arrives.);)
 
Great looking cooks Mark....I love the smell of breakfast being cooked outside. I appreciate the picture of all of the grills.
 
First I'd like to thank everyone for the kind words. I do love having an arsenal of Webers to choose from.

My rub recipe is as follows.
1 Cup Smoked Paprika
1 Cup Chili Powder
½ Cup Light Brown Sugar
½ Cup Sugar (Keeps everything from clumping)
½ Cup Granulated Garlic (dry)
½ Cup Granulated Onion (dry)
¼ Cup Kosher Salt
¼ Cup Cain Pepper
1 T. Dried Oregano
½ T. Cumin
½ T. Cinnamon

It's a simple but tasty rub that I use on pork and chicken.

It's not even funny how easy that beer bread it to make.

I use
2 cups Self Rising Flower
2 T. White Sugar
Mix this all together
Add a BIG handful of shredded Cheddar Cheese
Mix again.
Now add 2 Cups good beer.
Mix together (it's going to be gooey)
Liberally butter your 4 X 8 bread pan
Put gooey mix into bread pan (the only one I use is the ceramic one in the picture)
Bake for 45 minutes at 375
Let cool until it releases from the bread pan. (see if you can keep from picking the top I can't.)
That's it. Easy as baking bread. You're going to love it.
