Showing the Redhead some Love

I don't fire up the kettle very often these days, but a recent vacation grill experience reminded me how much fun it is to play with charcoal! :) So, tonight, my redhead Mastertouch got the called in from the 'pen! I had a rib roast "cutoff" that needed to get eaten, so got after it! Seasoned the steak/roast (she was big!) with MC Holy Gospel while my coals got hot....

After pouring the chimney of coals into my baskets nestled on the far side of the grill, I commenced cooking indirect. No thermometer, just some time and my experience kicking in. I flipped the steak every 7 minutes or so. After 28 minutes, she looked like this.....

At this point, the IT was still low at 78° due to a late morning decision to defrost, so kept going. After another 14 minutes, she was ready to sear, so went over the hot side with vents wide open for about 3 minutes per side (coals were still hot, but not super hot.) I deemed it was done when it looked like this....

Rested, sliced, plated, and ate.....and it was GOOD! :)

Basically an oversized ribeye?

Looks delish

Yeah, a thick cut off the "long" end of the ribeye roast. Small eye with more of the surrounding cap that is oh, so flavorful! :) I like the "short" end when I cook an actual standing rib roast, as it has a larger eye, and usually less of the large fat pockets. Grilling like this, though, long end for me! :)

I can't disagree, Brenda, I love the look of a red kettle. One of these days, I will get a pic of the red kettle, red Genny 1, and red Genny 1000. Then again, I haven't done it yet, so it probably won't happen! :)

This kettle was a freebie "rescue" that only needed a bit of elbow grease and a new grate to be good as "new'!

Just like with dogs - I love the rescues. 😊

Enough procrastination, you need to take that pic!
Just teasing. I am the worst at following through on that kind of stuff. 🙄
 
looks great! that's a nice hunk o' meat there.... It does bring back memories of our Red. (Sadly, ours passed peacefully several years ago - Gone but not forgotten! :p )

Yeah, this old gal is getting wobbly in the handle weld area, and I need to work on the lid fit a little. But she cooks just like she should! :)
