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

I am the griller half of our relationship. As a rookie, I would love
to talk to more experienced grillers. I'm definitely *not* looking for
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,

Desideria

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.

Although barbecue is the main topic, probably every one of us here grills
too.

If you have a grilling question, we can provide the perfect answer,
guaranteed. If not, we'll make up something that sounds good.

Ah, thanks! Sounding good is so important, after all... ;-)

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.

Is that kinda like the used car warranty - 3 years or 3 miles, whichever
comes first?

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. ;-)

Hi Desi, and welcome, even if you do know Denny too well. ;-)

Have you checked out the BBQ FAQ? As I recall, it also has a lot of info on
grilling.

http://www.eaglequest.com/~bbq/

Also, for charcoal info:

http://www.nakedwhiz.com/lumpindexpage.htm?bag

Now, grill something. Start with something cheap and easy, like 'burgers,
chicken or shudder hot dogs. You'll develop fire control, etc as ya go
along. Might make a few mistakes along the way. That's how we all got so
smart. Eating our mistakes! ;-D

OK then, for what it's worth, I like to grill steaks over mesquite lump
with some Hickory and Kaffir lime wood on top, open lid. I wipe the steaks
with EVOO, then rub 'em with garlic powder, FGBP and Kosher salt. I drop
'em on the very hot grate and leave 'em for a minute or so to get some
color and grill marks, then flip 'em and do the same on the other side.
Then let 'em rest for only as long as it takes to plate 'em and start
eatin'. I like my steaks charred blood rare as it's called in
Neanderthalville.

For steaks, grilling is just as good as slow cooking, only better! ;-)

Practically everybody grills. It's the only way to cook a decent steak.
Lots of other stuff needs grilling too.

If you haven't already, check into alt.binaries.food for some more
spirited discussion as well as a raft of pictures.

Oh yeh, I have a 3 burner gas grill as well as and offset smoker
and an all-in-one vertical smoker/grill.

I have a gas grill too, but I also have a wood pit for grilling. I like to
get a few logs going and when they are glowing red, toss a couple of steaks
on the grill.

I can grill in the firebox of my offset, but I'm generally too lazy to
fire that thing up just for one steak. That's why I bought the gasser.
I certainly didn't buy it thinking it was a better machine for grilling
steaks, but it sure is easier. The offset does produce some very
serious heat though if'/when I desire to go that way. The grate is
only about 1" above the white hot coals. Charred, blood rare is
immenently possible in the offset but not in the gasser.
