My shiny new Charcoal Grill

Set, hike!

Coming along nicely...

WANT BURGER!!

Special thanks to iamwiz82 for the awesome grilling tips! The only grill I've ever used is my George Foreman, so I was a little nervous but they came out great! It was pretty easy, too...light the charcoal, wait 15 or 20 minutes for the flames to die down, put the rack in and close the lid for five minutes to let it heat up, then start grilling. I found a neat trick on Good Eats, too - coat your buns with mayo before putting everything else on. Since mayo is fat, it creates a waterproof seal so that the burger's juices don't soak your buns and make them soggy. Thanks Alton!

Gimme my dang man card :laugh:

They were pretty decent I used Mrs. Dash, Kosher Salt, and some freshly-ground pepper. Any recommendations on a good BBQ sauce?

Bleh, burgers.

Go get a few good sized t-bones.

I'm not a big steak person. I only have them a couple times a year...I prefer chicken actually. Got a good recipe for a T-Bone tho?

yeah throw it on with a little salt and fresh ground pepper until med-rare.

i think burgers are the best. there are so many things you can do. ground it up with a little cheese and bacon..yumm.

good to see you got a charcoal grill. gas is for women!

Well chicken is fine too, i'm just not a big fan of ground beef.

T-bone, soak in a hickory sauce/Heineken beer (pretty much 50/50) over night, oil up the surface and don't let it get burned, high heat, no lid, i prefer it pink but if you want it bloody then use a lid on your grill and only turn it once.

Chicken breasts marinated in a couple of teaspoons of worchestershire sauce, some authentic chinese soy, a couple of tablespoons of sweet and sour sauce and pinapple juice to just cover the meat, let it soak over night, mix some of it with oil and use it on the chicken while cooking it.

Oh, and salt and pepper i didn't mention, just use white or black pepper as you like but don't be afraid to add both salt and pepper in the marinade AND while you're cooking, just taste the edges where it's already cooked to know what to add and put the salt and pepper on the table rather than adding too much if you're not eating alone.

What kind of grills do you have? I'm looking at a Char-Griller next and perhaps a Weber Smokey Mountain for smoking next summer.

i have 3 diffrent size's of webber. a smokey joe, 18.5 inch and a 22.5 (2 of the 22.5 inch) thinking of buying a nicer "performer" ones they have adn a smoker.

 

[JohnOfSheffield]

The smokey joe is great for cooking a hot dog or two, for anything else, it is miserably undersized, get a deep grill, don't use briquettes, use real charcoal, electric lighters are great, get yourself comfortable with your grill before you start cooking larger steaks (and especially steaks with bones in them), know your way around your kitchen and what spices to go with what and...

The most important part of cooking is made in the preparations, when the cooking begins you have little time to change anything besides pouring too much salt on it (and that won't change it for the better).

Oh, and if you want to do some smoking, you can either go the hard way and think it will taste better and get yourself a tall charcoal grill (that will just not do it right 90% of the time) or you use a gas grill and second hand heat.

I don't like huge burgers. In fact, I just finished watching a Good Eats on how to make those mini burgers like White Castle makes

 

[iamwiz82]

Congrats!

Don't be afraid to grill everything, even dessert.

 

[drnickriviera]

Some of you should look at the Big Green Egg. Just bought one a week ago and it's wonderful. Holds all the moisture in. Works great as a smoker too, did a pork shoulder a couple days ago.

 

[Syrch]

omg dill pickles pls!
