Your favorite outdoor cooking method ???

j.nc · 01-01-2008, 11:38 PM

Nothing on the gril had tasted good of late so...

... ditched the propane grill for outdoor cooking and got me a Lodge habachi.

Not big but can handle cooking for four.

Outdoors bought indoors: Also have taken to using a sort of Ruth Chris method: cast iron skillet indoors for steaks to sear it and then pop it into the oven with a dollup of good salty butter (as our New Yawk neighbor, she says, "it's da butt-ah").

We still have the Cajun Cooker for slow stuff, but the crock pot is also great for (indoors) non - smoked fare.

I had that exact same tiny Lodge grill in college.

I've got a Weber gas grill that I'm about to replace and I've got one of these:

...I almost never use even though it's really easy. I'm not very good at planning ahead.

I'm a Weber charcoal grill fan. Been using them for decades... I also have a big smoker for smoking turkeys etc. but for grilling, the weber kettle is the best!

I had one of those in college too. That might be the way of the future seeing that we have a empty nest now. One boneless skinless chicken breast for the wife and a good beef steak for me. Joepole how much meat does that meat locker of your cook at one time ?

I use one of these babies with my Weber Grill... I'm a true-blue old-school purist, what else can I say?

I have the small model, not one of those crazy $7,000 jobs. Mine holds a few chickens or maybe three briskets, it was well under a grand.

I saw a show on Discovery (or FOOD) about these BBQ cookoffs. These guys spend $10,000+ on BBQ pit/trailers then drive to contests around the country to compete.... Some trailers are insane.. Ricky Bobby would be proud! Shake and Bake!!!
