My balcony is 13' x 6', and I'd like to use the 6' width at the end of the balcony for the grill. I know I can fold down one (or both) of the side tables, but I don't want it to be too tight of a fit. I don't imagine wanting to bring it anywhere, though.

What a drag. They force you into propane... that sucks. I used to be a propane guy, but unless I must (like grilling a couple whole turkeys or something) I'll never go back to propane. It just does not compare to charcoal.

Yeah...propane or nothing at most newer apartment complexes. I don't mind all that much. I'm not that advanced.

Amen!

I would also add that lump charcoal is vastly superior to briquettes (aka Kingsford).

I got a smoker for Father's Day. I have never had one before and have always been a propane guy. I'm very excited but also nervous about fucking up a meal that takes 6 hours to make.

get yourself one of these bad boys

one end probe goes into the smoker to monitor temp inside, one probe goes into the food itself

remote monitor so you can put it on your kitchen counter and watch inside

Grilled up some chicken breast for a salad last night...normally I find chicken tit meh but I marinated these in a mixture of lemon juice, soy sauce and extra virgin olive oil for a few hours and they were wonderful.

I'm doing some shrimp on the grill tonight and they are getting a nice soak in the very same mixture as well...

...alas, there is another...but that will get it's own post later.

Grill some boneless chicken thighs, and put them on your salad.

I prefer to have the bone when I eat my dark meat.

<insert gif of choice here>

I prefer thighs to breasts, as they have more taste. They are cheaper, as well.

You eat dark meat!

Got some chicken getting drunk in the fridge as we speak...normally I only let them drink on the grill but the theme of the weekend is "everyone is getting fit-shaced" and I don't plan on treating my food any differently.

Can you grill me a siracha steak melt?

Beer, some scotch and other stuff.

are you making haggis ?

No. But I am making a heaping pile of awesome.

A heaping pile of awesome will also be in my toilet shortly after.

My old man had a grabber a couple of weeks ago, and then a sextuple bypass. So I'm on a white meat kick for the time being.

I grilled me some walmart imitation bubba burgers, not too damn bad, half the price, and close to the same quality, highly recommend. It's called Sam's choice or something like that, cook from frozen...

Ha. Too smart for a republican. The dog just turned 12 so she can't jump to the table anymore. I steal her pain meds though. Which helps with the pain.

"Smiles with Nostrils"

"...no Hmong, go find some blacks"

I smoked some ribs tonight. Usually, I would do a dry rub and hang them in the smoker, but I wanted to try a "competition" recipe today. So what I did was fire up the smoker as usual, then cut the ribs in half slab portions... I did them up in Famous Dave's dry rub (grocery store had it -- I would like to do this again with a "better" rub) and then put them on at 225 for about 2 1/2 hrs. I threw in several chunks of cherry wood to do the smoking. After that time, I pulled them off, and then wrapped in foil packets, slathering both sides in apple cider, brown sugar, and a pineapple/ habenero glaze for half of them, and just cider/sugar/clover honey for the other half. With those wrapped up, back on the smoker for 1.5 hours. I pulled them off after that and did they ever look gorgeous. I threw another sprinkling of the rib rub on them, put them back on for 15 minutes, then applied some BBQ sauce for another ten minutes. Pulled and rested for about 10 minutes, and served them up. I have made ribs many times before, but the extra labor involved in the competition style is really worth it -- these things were AWESOME. I think maybe you could get a similar result from vertically smoking for the first 2.5 hours, and then wrap and finish in the oven. The main problem I had with my tools is that I don't have room to lay a slab of ribs down flat.

Did this today and it was wonderful.Mrs.Scooter put my dry rib rub on before the coke and crock pot and used Sweet Baby Rays BBQ sauce.

Save yourself a couple bucks next time just use straight HF corn syrup.

OMG blasphemy.


Ribs are only dumb when you are out to eat. Too expensive and never as good as at home.
