I've Got Gas........

[kundalini]

I've been grilling since I was a teenager and finally broke down and bought a $100 gas grill........

​

What the hell was I thinking all this time?








Oh yeah, now I remember....... it was all that drinking while I was waiting for the coals to get hot. :cheers:​

 

[mishele]

LOL.......just start drinking earlier w/ the gas grill!!

 

[Derrel]

You bought into that whole briquet line of thinking for oh these many years...

what a shame...

I myself like to also have a lava rock option, so if you do not have any of those, I'd consider buying about 2 gallons of them, and 'seasoning' them a bit...

GAS!!! BAH HEATHEN!

It's not a proper barby unless you use proper coals (though I'll let you use the ones that light easy because it gets things going a lot faster!) and slave over a torrent of smoke and heat!

I hope you're not one of those sorts that likes to ramp up the heat - throw on the meat - and cook it super fast

Many a year I had burnt sausage with a rather undercooked middle till I took over and perfected the art of making everyone wait for the slow - proper - cook - getting that nice golden colour and the meat cooked proper!

(curse now is I hate cooking them... but if I don't I have to put up with substandard cooking.......)

Hey, propane is the way too go. Support the oil and gas industry. Lol or something along the lines of Hank Hill.

Lol or something along the lines of Hank Hill.

I think it's "Taste the meat and not the heat".


Like I said, I've been cooking with charcoal for nearly forty years. It was damn cold a couple of weekends ago and the damn coals just wouldn't light. For a C note and five minutes later, I can throw a chook on the grate..... not too bad, methinks.

Don't worry Overread, I still have my tried and true measure for when the weather is a bit warmer.

I've never mastered the gas grill, coal for me

Gas is soooooo pedestrian.

Mesquite. :thumbup: Burns slow, very hot, and adds a flavor to die for.

But, gas is easier to get.

I'm sorry....are we still talking about grills?!!

 

[rabman]

Hardwood charcoal for me, but I did buy a Thermador range for the kitchen with a gas grill for indoors. I ordered my outdoor grill from Texas. I recommend apple or pecan wood. MMMmmmmmmmmm!

 

[kundalini]

Gas is soooooo pedestrian.

Beige or vanilla would've cut just as deep.

Kundalini doesnt mix well with other people :lmao:

 

[Overread]

But we're photographers - do we really count as "regular people" anyway?

 

[kundalini]

My school report cards were pretty consistent...... "kundalini doesn't use his time wisely". As far as mixing.... you can have all the chasers if you want, I'll have mine chilled and neat, thank you very much.
