Unless you have a set-up that makes it too much trouble. Mine is fairly basic and I was going by that.

It's a rub from a grilling book I have. It says it takes 6 to 8 hours. You have to add wood and coals every hour and mop for the first 4 every hour as well. So beer and cooking will start the first day of my 9 day vacation. I might try pulled pork as well.

That is nowhere near as bad as one that I was reading about...it was a two-day affair with 24 hours of marinating, 1 hour of rubbing (WTF?!), 12 hour smoke and a 3 hour "rest" (WTF again?!).

I bet thats really good. However, it would be a real art to keep the fire as low as that must need to cook that long.
I don't even rub myself for one hour.

LOL...the dude said you have to tend the smoking in the middle of the night to have it ready for dinner the next day.
I may try this some time when I have two days to kill.

I think I can do that. Will rub it down with a wire brush first then try to find an appropriate wire.

I need to save some money and get a charcoal grill. I want to try brisket and pork too.
I think dry rub is the way to go. I have been trying to do that more and more. Mixing it all in a big bowl. All the spices I like.
Damn hungry for bbq now !

I have discovered my favorite grilling steak.
Simple top sirloin for 3.99 a pound...but specifically the stuff from Costco. I have only picked them up twice...but both times they have been my 2 favorite grilling experiences. The cuts are thick, one I had was just a little tough...the other was nicely tender. The flavor was awesome...these things bled forever. I feel a carnivorous euphoria at the thought of the next experience.

Nice. I may have to try this... grilling on charcoal or Gas ?

Charcoal.
I forgot to mention...I had frozen the second set of steaks and thawed them by putting then in round cake pans, covering them with tin foil and leaving them inside the covered grill in the sun for somewhere between 6 and 8 hours. They actually cooked just a tiny bit that way and I don't know for sure if that went toward affecting the tenderness or not. But I intend to use that same plan (minus the freezing) the next time I grill them.

My son made a family crest in school today. The family motto he made up is "bar-b-que every day".
I love my son.

The local grocery store was running a killer deal on London Broil (which I normally detest) but wanted to try my hand at what can be a very difficult cut to grill. I made a nice peppercorn, lemon pepper and rosemary (fresh of course) rub and then marinated them in red wine for about 6 hours .... delish!

Sounds great! I use london broil to cut into country style strips. Then I do a rub and cook them slow. LB can be made useful...it just takes effort as you mentioned.

I just made one of those last night!
There is a really good marinade made by A1. It's found near the barb B Q sauce. It's the "Chicago" style one. Its roasted peppers and something. The trick to london broil is to make sure the grill is really hot. Use the direct cooking method about 10 to 15 minutes a side. when it's done let it sit for about 5 to 10 minutes before you slice it. Then cut against the grain as thin as you can get the slices. Enjoy!

OK...I am three for three with the top sirloins from Costco. I am all but sold on them now. At 3.99 per pound...I can justify more grilling!
