Present plans for a day it’s just the two of us:
Baby backs on sale here for 1.99, so at least a couple of those.
Grilled corn and squash
Grilled shrimp & scallops

A day the grandkids come will have to include cheeseburgers, dogs, corn, and ice cream

I picked up some "Buy one get one free" Baby Backs at Kroger yesterday and I'm hoping to do a couple on the Highland
on the 4th, but now they're forecasting temps in the low 90s (again) and thunderstorms.
I may have to punt....

Same boat here Sunday and Monday … think cooking early and a late lunch / early dinner time might skirt any storms

Just dropped $500 at a steakhouse in the last hour for 4 of us....ouch. Think I am going to change up on Monday and go to our local high end butcher and pick up 4 of his dry aged fillets and do a comparison......I already know the answer but will be fun anyway. Need to decide o cooking them on the kettle or griddle?

I did the other dozen wings from last week on the pellet grill.

Was just under $400.

Our get together will be next weekend due to people traveling. I am preparing:

1. Pulled pork
2. Smoked baked beans
3. Maybe ribs
4. Hot dog burnt ends from Hey Grill Hey

I'll be celebrating the Fourth in the San Juan Islands, but you had me at "beer". Grumpy Griller's smoked Chex mix sounds pretty good, too.

My vote is Definitely for the kettle! In my opinion the flat top is great for smash burgers but steaks need charcoal and fire that meal costed more than the pellet grill you were looking at.. lol.. happy wife and kids are cheaper than a divorce

 

[Gonna Smoke]

I don't have to cook this weekend. Saturday evening is the big fireworks show and we've been invited for a late lunch and to watch the show from a friend's boat. Not real sure what's on the menu, was told to just show up and eat. Wife has made a big bowl of Texas Caviar to take, though.

Monday I'm cooking. St. Louis ribs may be on the menu, but also considering beef ribs.

Stay safe out there this weekend my friends...

yeah I probably will use the kettle. It is funny you should say the cost of the meal is close to the grill cost, I was thinking the same last night. I do this all the time, mull over buying something and research for months, at the end of the month the visa bill comes and it is $4500 of just life. The smoker cost is a drop in the bucket compared to other things that I will use much less. Anyway still in the research mode....lol
