Cool. Thanks guys.

So, on the gas grill.. what do you find is best to smoke ?

 

[LOTRFan]

Loved grillin' on the 4th.

 

[jimjimmyjones85]

Man it was so hot, I didn't do much myself. Want to try some of these smoking techniques.

 

[Darth Waller]

And you had them in a box ?

Yep, had them in a metal box. Probably had the fire too high and didn't soak the chips enough.

I did grill some brats on the 4th. Parboiled them in beer and then finished them on the grill.

Well guys I came home to a present. Mom hooked me up with a new grill. Although she didn't really know what she was buying. She ended up buying me a Weber tailgating grill. The cart and cover are coming. However, I LOVE it! How can you not love anything that your Mom buys for you? This will be perfect for a quick meal for two and when I go to a game. I can pack her up with a case of beer and bam! Tailgate time! This will hold me off until I can get my Weber charcoal grill. Thanks Mom! I used her tonight and it works really well! Made dinner for the next day as well. Cajun chicken! YUM!

Nice BM. Congrats !

 

[Darth Cruel]

No doubt that they are great to have! Moms rock!

 

[BadMoon]

Picking this up tomorrow to go along with my Weber Q.

I will make MANY man noises when I fire this up tomorrow.

 

[Darth Cruel]

Very cool! I have been slacking in the grilling area lately. Been busy. I will rectify that tomorrow.

 

[BadMoon]

Assembly was a breeze! Ready to grill up some steaks tonight!

 

[jimjimmyjones85]

I have been slacking too.

Last time I did, i did not feel my gas grill was getting as hot as it should. What do you think I should do ? All the burners "Appear" to light...

How hot is it getting? Maybe you are almost out of propane? Also check the hoses for tears. Finally if you recently exchanged tanks maybe you got a bad one?

 

[Darth Cruel]

Yep and if you don't have a built-in thermometer, get one that you can set inside to check just exactly how hot is IS getting.

Nope, have natural gas running from the house. No tanks here.

May have to do that. Maybe mine is dead. I don't know. Do you guys clean the actual burners at all ?

You should. You could also have bugs in the lines.

 

[jimjimmyjones85]

What is the best way to do that ?

 

[Darth Cruel]

Find a thin-enough rod or wire and push it through.

Edit - I finally broke my grilling drought the day before yesterday. I just made some pretty simple bbq chicken and baked potatoes. But I think that chicken was the best that I have done.

 

[BadMoon]

I think this Saturday I'm going to attempt my first slow cooked brisket.

Oh ok. so get in there and poke the wire into every hole on the burner ?

Man that sounds good. I been wanting to do that. You using Charcoal right ?

I want to get on one of those myself. But that can be a long process and I want to go all out on it. They have great flavor! What kind os seasonng or marinade are you planning to use?
