Got the family together .

[chopsaw]

Well I was looking for something to do today , so I was gonna clean up the grills . Did the Genesis earlier in the week , but the rest need a little TLC .
Kind of warm out there , so I changed my plans , but figured I'd snap a pic while I had them together .

Temps gonna be back in the mid to high 90's all week . Using the Smokefire today on a whole chicken . The rest will get covered up .
Genesis and the Smokefire will handle the load during the week while the temps and humidity are high .
I love having options .

Gorgeous set of cookers Rich, best to take it easy in the heat for sure. RAY

Nice looking arsenal of Cookers Rich. I'd say you're ready for any cooking situations that may arise. Impressive. I agree with Ray, take it low and slow in the heat. It's already a heat index here of 91 with 75% humidity and lots of rain expected.

Nice arsenal right there Rich. Somehow I get the feeling that somebody is a fan of Weber products I will say that I absolutely LOVE my Performer Deluxe and it's become the most used of any of my cookers. Weber makes some good stuff. They should pay you to be a spokesperson for them being that you represent them very well.

Really nice grills. I put off cleaning the kettle and last week right after putting bunch of Hatch Peppers on to roast had a grease fire. That a first for a charcoal grill for me. Usually the gas.

Gorgeous set of cookers

I got that smokey Joe new in the box at Goodwill for $12.00 Almost felt guilty ,, almost .
I saw Walmart had a $99 deal on a 28" Blackstone . Not a place I shop , but for that deal I got my PJ pants on and went in . On the way out I see a NIB 14 " WSM for the same . $99 . They also had a Kettle pizza kit for $75 .
I passed on both . Bugged me for 3 days . I went back , the kettle pizza kit was gone , but the WSM came home with me .

91 with 75%

That's brutal Mike . The humidity kicks your backside .
How did I do on the photo ? LOL . You would have been proud of how many times I moved them around .

I will say that I absolutely LOVE my Performer Deluxe and it's become the most used of any of my cookers.

That performer is my work horse . Wife bought that new for me in 2006 when we moved in to this house . It's one of my most prized possessions .
I was going to buy the Camp Chef pellet grill , but liked the looks of the Weber .
You and Ray know from being Carpenters for half your life that aesthetics is everything . If it's not right it can drive you to madness looking at it everyday .
I know this is about cooking , but still . I've had good luck with the Weber pellet so far . Only one hiccup .

Wow! That is a one nice arsenal right there, Rich... You have a quite of options there... What about Blackstone griddle to complete your setup???

 

[JckDanls 07]

They should pay you to be a spokesperson

I was thinking the same thing ...

Nice looking bunch of kids you have there ...

I too have been cruising the Walmart discount site looking for a flat top ...

Great looking family you have there!

I still have the first 22" kettle I ever bought at my Mom's house . 1983 . The first kettle I ever owned was a gift . Early 80's 18 " one touch . I know where it's at too . Gave it to a buddy . I hint at it every now and then . He still uses it . I won't ask for it back , but if he ever offers it up ,,,

That a first for a charcoal grill for me. Usually the gas.

I've had grease fires with charcoal , just not very often .
I know you said you didn't care for you Genesis 2 . I just put heavy gauge flavor bars and heat deflectors in my 310 . Made a big difference on searing with that thing .

What about Blackstone griddle to complete your setup???

It's out there . Look at the right side of the picture . You can see the cover . It's sitting next to the Chimney chase . Then look under and past the control panel on the Smokefire . There's what left of a 1973 Happy Cooker . Looks like a 22 " Weber Kettle .
The MES 30 is behind me in that pic . Under the covered section of the patio .

Nice looking bunch of kids you have there ...
I've had 2 or 3 fired up at the same time . I could never get by with just one .
I too have been cruising the Walmart discount site looking for a flat top ...

The one I have was the first one . Front grease drain . When I bought that one they had nine on the shelf . I almost bought 2 .

The photo is very well staged and lit well, considering there's some sunlight to battle and some shade as well. I'd hire you for my Company as a Photographer.

Think you or someone mentioned that. I will have to get some. I actually used couple days ago. It works great for chicken!

Nice collection of cookers and smokers for sure I bet you have room for one more. What would it be.

[chopsaw]

room for one more. What would it be.

I'd love to have a offset stick burner again , but would like to have a Baby Stumps .
Honestly , I can do anything I want with good results with what I have .
That pellet grill turns out some great food . Had a " situation " with it a week ago .
I'll see what it does today . I have 100 days to send it back .

 

[motocrash]

HAH! I've got 3 of your 6 and love'em too!
The 26" will be next.....
