Hello, all! I followed Denny here; can I keep him? g

I am the griller half of our relationship. As a rookie, I would

to talk to more experienced grillers. I'm definitely *not* looking

advice on the grill to choose; I like my Weber just fine right
now!

There doesn't seem to be a whole lotta grilling posts here. Are
there
any other grillers hiding in the woodpiles?

Thanks much,

You would probably do better here by asking some direct questions in
the area you are interested in talking about. A lot of smoking talk
here, but there are a lot of grillers as well that would probably be
glad to jump in if they knew which direction to jump.

Thanks, but so far I don't have specific questions. More like I just
need to listen while grillers chat, and see what I pick up. I'm sure
I'm have questions later, though! Thanks for the response.

OK then, for what its worth, I like to grill steaks with some wood
(hickory,
apple, and/or cherry) thrown in to the charcoal just before cooking and
still burning hot enough that it flames on but not enough to burn the
steak,
and then shut the lid, as you are supposed to do on a Weber anyway. I
coat
the steaks at minimum with a slather of prepared mustard, black pepper,
melted butter, and Worcestershire sauce. Its not a marinade, its more to
get
a flavorful char on the steak. I usually add in some of my home made
sticky
rub but its not necessary. However the wood fired part combined with the
slather gives me the best tasting steaks I have been able to make. I
cook
for what they call charred rare around here, but if you want to go any
more
done than medium rare I would suggest letting the wood in the fire burn
down
a little more so the outside doesn't overchar before the inside is done.
I
am a believer that steaks should be cooked over as hot a fire as you can
get
away with without messing up the food. That's what's great about a Weber
charcoal kettle.

Grilling is just as good as slow cooking, just different. ;-)

Sadly, I have the gas grill, not a charcoal. Hafta use an iron box to
do any smoking.

Run what you brung Desideria and don't ever look back. Check what
the other guy is doing every chance you get. You never can tell, he
might have something you like. Never, never let ego get in the way of
success. When you discover something you like, go for it.

Yep, that's why I'm peering over everyone's shoulder here. I've little
ego about grilling yet, as I'm quite aware that I'm just starting out
(though some of my results have been quite tasty!).
