    1st attempt at Pulled Chicken

    Some one on here years ago suggested a mixture of cornstarch and flour to dust on the skin before letting it dry out in the fridge. It works well and can be combined with any dry rub as well. I scoured my recipe box but I cannot find it. I think it was a 50/50 mix though. Awesome looking bird...

    I prefer the front legs!

    I'm gonna get a nose bleed laughing. We are dumbing down at an alarming rate.. No nitrates here..

    Well… Gonna Be A Fun Spring!!!

    I saw ZZ Top on their Recycler tour in Phoenix, AZ. There's a really good documentary on Hulu about the band. It's worth watching.

    Speaking of Kettles - cast iron grates ?

    Of course you could always put a small CI grate on top of the standard grate and achieve the same result. Just another cool thing to try on a kettle..

    Speaking of Kettles - cast iron grates ?

    That may be something to ask Weber. If there's a demand, maybe they would resurrect it. I for sure would buy that.

    Freezing Propane Tanks?

    @noboundaries could explain the thermal dynamics here, nine years ago or today. Old thread but might come in handy in a search.

    New pit new opportunities

    Welcome in! Nice looking rig on the website. Let's see some Q with it! Smokers can be like bass boats. I've yet to see a largemouth jump into a Nitro nor a good q come out of a pit without someone knowing how to use it.

    I'm going pro!

    Good on you. If you go to work doing something you like, you will not work a day again. After retiring from the military and civil service, I was struggling to find something I like to do for an income. I went back to aircraft maintenance but my schedule and age / stress drove me into a heart...

    Speaking of Kettles - cast iron grates ?

    I'm a no vote. Clean grates do just fine for sear marks. Oil the meat and not he grates and cook on.. I would be more concerned about the higher center of gravity there. You try to move anything and you just might be tossing dinner, hot grates and burning coals to the ground. And for the...

    "Tri tip" help.

    You did well pilgrim! The first and foremost thing to know about a tri tip is it's a cut from the round. The muscles are not used as much so they tend to be on the tender side. However, they are lean and any over-cooking will render them darn near inedible to eat like a steak. If you do cook one...

    Grill buddy.....or enemy?

    I have to agree with everyone else. That just looks like a bad idea from the get go. I'm a scrape, water to deglaze and cloth towel clean to dry and then a recoat of canola. My BS is covered with an aftermarket metal lid. No problems.

    Weber Kettle 22" ?

    I got the one with the coal dump basket underneath. I didn't go with the Performer as Dave mentioned simply because I keep all my Webers in my shed, space is limited. The very bare bones minimum is fine to start with, get some experience with it and if you think you need the upgrades, then go...

    Not every swing...

    That's a pull hitter with legs smacking a line drive into the right field corner when the outfield has the shift on..

    Time to make some sauce.. I hope.

    It's a inexpensive setup from park seed with a heating pad under it. I's around 80 degres and humid in there. You can germ seeds in a week.

    Daytona 500

    Nuff said.. Pulls and drag races are ultimate display of raw power .. outside of rocket launches.. Bernstien and Force fan here.. I think it was art alfons? that screwed two turbine engines to a puller. I do love the Cummins powered 4x4s in the sled pull though.

    So now you don't have to cross the finish line to win.. I say no yellow in the final 10 laps.
Great deal on LEM Grinders!
