outdoor cooking

Very nice Joe!

Old reliable gas grill.  Broilmaster gas grill.  Owned since August 2004.

Off the Traeger and then on the gas grill for some char.  Baby back ribs fall off the bone since all my friends and family like them that way.

Those ribs look fantastic Joe!

Scored me a little Traeger from my dad. It's old but still works. I found it's best for smoking. Maybe if I updated the controller but I have other grills for actual grilling

Hope everyone had a great summer with family and friends.  I used the Traeger pretty often.  Not as good as a real smoker but it’s good for what it is.  I did learn that Traeger pellets suck!  I now use Bear Mountain brand.

I don’t have the time or patience for a stick style smoker.  The only thing I might get next year is a Weber kettle.

I ended up buying a Weber kettle.  It was on clearance at Lowe’s for $143

I bought 2 of them.  I haven’t cooked on charcoal in over 30 years.

Webber kettles are the best. I can remember my dad grilling always having one since I was little

Outdoor cooking season is almost hear even though  I’ve been cooking outside very frequently (even in the snow).  The Weber kettle is my favorite cooking “tool”.  Wings and party ribs are a hit every time I make them.

I really enjoy the Webber kettle myself. One of my favorite things to cook in it is a prime rib. Just coat it with sea salt and set it on. I actually put fire bricks all across the grill then put the prime rib in a cast iron skillet. The bottom of the prime rib gets the most delicious bark.
