    The Grilling and Cooking Thread

    in The Tailgate

    Posted

    This was from twitter, didn't want put the persons info out there.....but I felt a great deal of sadness looking at it....like watching someone not crossing meat and then turning it, but just flipping and mashing it down....my buddy who can't seem to learn anything continues to poke holes in the meat and seasons it,,,,,all the juice gets to run out....I never eat at his house, he wonders why.

    Well done steaks are for heathens. 

    Like what you like...pfft. 

    Today is gonna be a good day...

    For me, any kind of dog, brat, etc is a waste slow cooked.  My grilled links destroy anything you smoke, or slow cook.  I would argue the same for burgers.

    Slow cooking is for slabs of meat.

     

    I hear mostly what you are saying, but two thoughts on that, smoked sausages are killer- just not a 4 hour deal, slow roasted chicken- split, beer can, whole are really awesome.

    5 hours into the cook.  

     

    Smoked 'em 3 hrs.  Smeared a little bacon grease and Tabasco Pepper jelly on 'em, wrapped in foil with a splash of apple juice and cooked for 2 hours.  I just unwrapped them, and they'll go for another hour to firm up.

     

    There's still a lot of charcoal left, in the SnS

     

     

     

    Looks delicious!

    Is that an older Genesis?  

    I have a Genesis Silver B, from 2001 that's still going strong.  I had to replace the cooking grates last year and the flavorizer bars are shot, but those are easily replaced for ~ $40.00.

     

    Yup, I just recently had to replace it, will post pics of the Brisket I got rubbed down tonight.....Ribs on Monday.....the burners on the new one are from front to back and not side to side.....Hoping I can get and keep the temp down for the duration.

    UHm, yum highlighted for effect.

    I will gladly eat anything from a charcoal grill, but I'll always channel my inner Hank Hill and am a propane guy. It's so much easier to cook burgers and steaks. Dealing with charcoal for that would be a PITA.

     

    I have mastered my gas grill, I can smoke on it and keep the temp indirect low for the duration....

    I strongly disagree, its been a part of football since its inception and provides an element which provides an additional level of skill and risk.

    You are a "chef"...let's say you don't like tomatoes and milk. Are you going to eliminate Bechamel and Red sauces from Escoffier's five "mother sauces?" But your clients do not feel the same way as you do, so? I think not.

    It's not called pass, run and block? Punt, pass and kick...no? :)

     

    You lost the crowd at Mother Sauce.

    No ****... those guys are reaching. 

     

     

    I am out of likes, imagine that. Also I think the NFL is getting it's hand slapped for reaching in the cookie jar too many times. I notice more and more empty seats especially in preseason. Has the NFL reached it's maximum customer price points?

    Nope. No account. No downloading. Just click on the link, close down the ads, expand the screen and there you go. 

     

    Usually a good selection of links per game too. 

     

    Hail. 

     

    *Edit* Only two up at present for the Lions game. But near kickoff they'll doubtless be a lot more.

    Yeah I had DirecTV for two years down in Florida, and we always knew if it was going to start raining soon because we would lose reception.  Never had a reception problem with cable.

     

     

     

    Yeah DirecTV fans always pretend this never happens.  It's common.

     

     

    Yeah and they act like it never happens either, I get outages all the damn time. 

    DIY Home Improvement Thread..

    Thanks for the info.  That helps a lot.  I have an air hammer with a 1" chisel bit.  I think I will bring that in and send my wife out.  How important that I get every little scrap of thin set up?  Should I rent something to "sand" the floors to make sure they are perfectly smooth or is "pretty flat" good enough and the mortar will cover up tiny bits?

    Not perfectly smooth, flat is good, even if you have gouges.  Now if you have cracks running, you can use the Red guard to isolate them from transferring to tile, mostly used in newer construction, but won't hurt for any cracks. Make sure when you are setting the tile..don't use the cheap thin set, use the proper trowel-it matters, don't press the tile into the mud. 

     

    Most people don't know it but it is suction that holds the tile down, the contraction of the air pocket between the troweled channels creates a vacuum when the cement cures and shrinks.

    Get a can of this stuff. Just be careful when spraying it as it will really expand (a little bit goes a long way). You might want to spray some on a piece of cardboard to see how little you actually need to spray to fill a gap/hole. 

     

    Also, wear disposable gloves. The stuff is impossible to get off your skin. 

     

    Dow Chemical Co. Gaps & Cracks Insulating Foam Sealant

     

    Just remember there is three versions of this expanding foam, it is important around windows and doors to use the lower expansion product and not bow the frames, also don't over use it, let the stuff fill the gaps before you spray too much of it. Otherwise you have a large mess to clean up. Helps to put oil on your hands before using. I think I remember lacquer thinner cleans it up, but it burns on cuts really bad. 

    Someone posted about this stuff earlier and I was planning on putting it down.  Thoughts?

    So if I can't get all the mortar off and the floor completely smooth, can I just put a floor leveling compound down over it and call it good?

    Where are you using this? This is meant for water tight applications, such as shower walls. Don't recommend it for floors as they need to breath, unless you are talking wood underlayment? 

    The tile was all right on top of the concrete foundation.  I figured I should be able to tile right back on top of that.  I have an air compressor and air hammer but my wife says its to loud in the house so I'm looking for other options.

     

    If you hand chisel this up it will take 5 times longer, air or rotary hammer chisel is the only way to go. Plus you can get all the thin set up.....over concrete you don't need to a water guard. 

    What's the easiest way to measure out recessed lighting for cuts before applying drywall?

     

    Wax marker, furniture touch up stick. 

    So I just became a homeowner a few months ago and am gutting the hall bath as a test of my DIY skills and the strength of my marriage. Today I was busting out the ceramic tile and making quick work of it with a 4 lb hammer and a wrecking bar. The room is about 7x5 and I removed most of the tile in about 2 hours. Issue is getting the mortar off. Any suggestions other than chipping it away by hand with a cold chisel? I did a little of that and it took forever. Can I leave the mortar and apply a floor leveler over it and tile right to that? We plan on putting in travertine tiles. I'll try to attach a picture so you can kinda see what I mean. (Notice the rockstar trash can.)

    You can rent a chipping hammer, will be done in 1/2 hour, saving time and money, put a mask on and cover that door way with plastic. Wish I could lend you my Bosch rotary hammer...with a wide blade.
