bcl05 Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 I think its a bit more nuanced than that. The very best steaks are corn fed, I think. Average grass fed steaks are better than mediocre corn-fed supermarket steaks. Both can be excellent, but the very top of the pyramid is a perfect prime corn-fed steak. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freezer is near full, and we don't eat steak that often anymore, so I didn't pull the trigger.. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinsfan1311 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Citrus herbed chicken. Not the best pics, (recovering from an epic bachelor party weekend), but this is one of our favorites. 10 minutes to prep, 1 hr to cook. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fergasun Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Bought a Weber Gas Grill (Spirit II) on Memorial Day. I have been grilling my entire adult life on CharBroil and other community grills which were not Weber. First time doing chicken on the Weber. Previously required a wet brine for 2 hours on "other grills". Only had 15 min to let chicken breast marinate in olive oil, paprika, garlic, cumin mix. Cooked it and it was perfect. With the Weber it wasn't burned on the outside, pink in the middle! Cooked burgers... same thing. I think Weber uses lower total BTU.... this allows more consistent cooking. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busch1724 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Got a Traeger Pro 34 the other week. They're on a steal of a price since they're coming out with the new Pro Series grills. Excellent so far! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PleaseBlitz Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 One of my top 5 days of the year is Saturday after my wife and daughters bday (July 8 and 10 respectively). We have an offsite party for my daughter where we invite our crew and their kids plus the kids and parents from my daughters daycare. We invite our friends (but not daycare pol) back to our house for the “afterparty.” I bought enough beer that I used a blow up kiddy pool as a cooler. I also cook enough BBQ to feed an army. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not that the BTU's are necessarily lower, it's that they heat more evenly, and the flame controls are superior. Good call, buying a Weber grill. I love 'em! I own 5 kettles and two gassers. It's an obsession. Edited July 14, 2019 by Skinsfan1311 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been REALLY tempted to pick one up. I want to use it for low-n-slow smoking because the Weber kettle is just painful to keep a balanced temp, but I've heard the kamado style grills are a pain if they over heat because they take forever to cool.

It is a kamado-style smoker, like a green egg (but cheaper). It does take forever to cool if you overshoot, but I cheat and use some technology to regulate the temperature. Overall I really like it, it gets the job done, holds a lot of food, and will stay at one temperature for hours if you add enough charcoal and wood at the beginning (I've done overnight 20+ hour cooks).

It is a handheld device that has an input for a temperature probe to put inside the smoker and to a fan that you connect to the air intake at the bottom of the smoker. The device senses the temperature and blows in enough air to keep it at the temperature you set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to spend a lot of money. Get yourself a "Slow n Sear" and you won't have any problems holding temps with your kettle. I easily get 10+ hrs out of mine and the temps hold steady. The rack of ribs that I smoked, (pic a few posts above), took 5 hrs at ~ 235°. The SnS held that temp, easily. https://abcbarbecue.com/product/slow-n-sear-2-0/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
