    I have a recteq and weber genesis, and wanted something with better direct heat where I could manage the fire. Bought a Weber kettle and have really been enjoying it.

    I love how it seems many people have been backing into grilling from smoking with a pellet grill.
    Used to be it seemed like people went from gas or charcoal to smoking, but now the trend has reversed

    probably because once you get into it you realize the best food comes off an offset or “real” grill. I’d love an offset at some point…

    Does anybody have a suggestion on a seasoning for chicken? I tried Dan-O’s and it’s alright. I’m sure there’s better though.

    How are you cooking it? Chicken is honestly the best vehicle for flavor. If you’re looking for something a little bit different try a Mojo marinade for grilling.

    2 Tablespoons salt
    2 Tablespoons sugar
    1 Tablespoon chili powder
    1 Tablespoon garlic powder
    1 Tablespoon onion powder
    ½ teaspoon ground cayenne (red pepper)

    The baste with your preferred BBQ sauce at the end.

    Saw this on a Blackstone page I follow on FB. Can this be the new steak pic? Lol

    Apparently the poster wanted to try a medium rare steak (on a Blackstone for whatever reason). She said it was disgusting. Well no fucking shit lol

    Total experiment tonight
    Tri tip cut into bite size chunks, covered in peanut oil and salt and pepper, then thrown into the cast iron to sear 20250426_204550.jpg

    While searing in the cast iron I made a garlic and herb butter thing in the smoker, and after searing I tossed the meat in the butter pan on the smoker at like 300 for maybe an hour. Stirring the meat around in the butter several times

    Anyone have a preferred online vendor for steaks? I’ve got a friend getting married and would love to send him something since I can’t attend the bachelor week. I’ve been unimpressed with anything I’ve ever received as gifts from Omaha Steak or Kansas City Steak Company especially for the money. Snake River Farms seems to get hyped the most in BBQ groups. Anyone have experience with them?

    Sounds expensive. Every once in a while I see a tent driving back form the lake that advertises 20 ribeyes for $29.99. Have yet to stop to check out the product, though.

    We have those guys locally once or twice a year at the mall. I’d waste $30 just to see what they look like. I’m sure the 20 steaks weigh 2 lbs total.

    Prime NY strips from Sams. Should've pulled them earlier, to be honest. Can definitely taste the difference between charcoal grilling and the gasser but I'm not sure if the extra time and cleanup is worth it. Jury is still out.

    looks good! The extra time doesn’t seem that bad for me. It’s more lead time just with a few min to light, if I’m already around the house not a big deal. I wfh ~3 days a week though so that helps.

    I love both of my Thermoworks thermometers. I’d love to have one of theirs that has wireless capability but I’m an idiot and bought the wrong one. I haven’t used the smoke X to give a review but based on my experience with two other devices, I’m confident it’s great.
