Should I add a gas grill to my fleet?

[Timothy F. Lewis]

Scott, that’s the whole point!
It’s always about taste, texture, appearance and MOST of all those memories!
I cannot cook a pork steak without thinking about my Dad with a glass of beer from a “Hamm’s tapper” sitting at the “Buddy L“ brazier with the warming oven and the aroma.
Honestly, I’d give anything for one more summer afternoon eating one of those with Dad!

I like cooking with lump, but when it's late and you are in a hurry to eat...

7.11 light the grill.



Freezer is set to - 9 F. Not as cold as it is in Canada, but the patty was frozen solid.



7. 14 it's over 400F. Lets cook.


7.20 flip and cheese.




Temp check to keep me honest.



7.23 let's eat.



Are the coals ready yet?

Well played, @DanHoo , well played.

Dan is the master of photographic proof before you even thought to ask him to prove it.

I could mention anything right now and he'd have pictures up in like two minutes of it.

Like, I wonder if you can rotisserie cook two chickens at a time?

 

[Ed P]

I say, this looks like a challenge to me! Two challenges, even!

I have an outdoor range and I can start a chimney full of briqs (I don't have any lump at the moment) in very short order. I'll time it next time, but I don't think even that can top your 12 minute speed.

As for the duplex chicken Tim mentioned, well, maybe after you finish your samon burgers...

He's probably restoring this Spirit he picked up like seven minutes after he showed us a picture of the "free mystery Weber" ad

 

[Jason Godard]

Of course you should, but will you?

 

[Ed P]

Eating a salmon burger in one hand, cleaning the new grill with the other, getting ready for poulet double...a true multi-tasker. Pictures to follow soon!

 

[DanHoo]

I should add that I use the side burner on my gasser to light lump charcoal in a chimney more than I cook food on it.

When I have the time I'll cook on my BGE or kettle or both.

I woulda done that in a CI and beat that time. And stayed warm

I am waiting with bated breath! Do you have a temp controller on the BGE?

I'm gonna have to see that one to believe it...

You almost had me looking at getting a gasser Dan, till I saw that you put cheese on salmon. Dodged a bullet there.

Yup. Billows and smoke x4.

Try it. Sonoma pepper jack.

I didn’t know any BBQ-gurus used frozen patties anymore.....

 

[Kyle TX]

Well I picked this one up for $125. It looks in really good shape. The guy also said he never registered the grill with Weber, so I think I will be able to get parts for at least a while if I need to.

 

[Timothy F. Lewis]

Another tool! You will have fun with it!

Looks good.

appears to be an E 310 special edition with SS grates. I've cooked on a LP E 310 with CI grates and it is a decent cooker. I suggest checking both sides ( inside top, and underside) of the lower shelf for rust. My 2016 E330 has a slight amount, and a friends 310 has early signs. Both need attention this spring.
