Off topic...grilling
Posted: Apr 24th, '07, 19:13
We grill a lot....usually 4 times a week, year around (the other nights it's leftovers for the kids and we skip, or pizza).
Lump charcoal (Wicked Good Charcoal is the best....order it by the flat) on our HastyBake has served us well for the last 10 years, but it was a little lacking in the long roast category....brisket (for you Texans), Boston Butt (with a vinegar sauce) for NC BBQ, and ribs...oh yes...melt in your mouth ribs.
We got a wood pellet feed grill now (Trager)...and it is the kitties titties.
Load it up with the wood of choice (mesquite, hickory, etc.)...set the temp and the auger feeds the pellets into the burn chamber so you get a pretty constant temp....low for the long stuff, or higher like I've got going for the two birds I've got on now...
Just wanted to share...the thing ain't really cheap...but it works, and we use it all the time. I'd like to taste some salmon that was smoked on one sometime....
