SCode Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 For grilling, a good quality gas grill will be great and last for years. I have a nice Weber. Put wood chips in aluminum foil pouch and set next to burner. Adds a bit of smoke flavor to anything grilled. For the smoker, I have a Weber Smokey Mountain. Uses charcoal and works great. It is a good compromise between the purist BBQ snob offset stick burner and the set it and forget it Traegers. 1 Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 (edited) @GSG I think it’s safe to say, you are embarking on an adventure where you will end up with about 5 outdoor cooking devices and people will be happy that you do. Enjoy!!! just understand it’s an addiction. And....if you boil ribs, terrorists win. Edited April 7, 2018 by BigRedBuster 3 Quote Link to comment

How to immediately lose credibility...brought to you by Al Queda err grouprecipes.com The only thing it is okay to boil in conjunction with grilling (correct me if I'm wrong) is to boil brats in beer with onions before grilling them. It gives them a slight beer flavor and helps prevent them from splitting open while grilling. Then pour off some of the liquid, add butter and reduce until the onion is translucent and tender. Makes a great brat topping. Edited April 8, 2018 by Comfortably Numb 1 Quote Link to comment

knapplc Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 I have a Weber and I like it a lot, but even using the extra "sear" burner, it doesn't get hot enough to really crisp up steaks. Maybe I'll have to try the cast iron pan method on the side burner. 1 Quote Link to comment

Here's one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000CPPZ6W/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=sousvideevery-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B000CPPZ6W&linkId=81778f34426f92a1134ca598fa74bb5f 1 Quote Link to comment
GSG Posted May 1, 2018 Author Share Posted May 1, 2018 Thanks to everyone for your recommendations and sharing your experiences. I think I +1ed every post in here. I went with the Camp Chef Woodwind with the sear box on the side. Came with a cover, free shipping, and a bag of their "Competition Blend" of pellets which is maple, hickory, and cherry. Supposed to be here tomorrow, so I'm hoping I can use it this weekend. Has anyone made their own jerky before? 1 Quote Link to comment

I remember my grandmother would put a 1/4 rack of ribs in her pressure cooker for her dinners sometimes. Is that allowed? Quote Link to comment
