A little bit of a hijack here.. sorry.... but Hey.. grillings a necessity. Ya cant start BBQ'in at 5 to have dinner for the family at 6. Tonight, I fired up the kettle, threw some red oak(thanks richie) on top of the hot coals(lump) and made some grilled chicken boobs and wings that were great, and done in 45 minutes.
Oh.. sorry.. didnt use any propane though.. thats ok when its rainy amd I'm lazy. I got 2 gas grills, both hgh end, but one is used to store my BBQ tools, hasnt been fired up all summer, and we busted the regulator at Bash II.... thats still broke. The other(the DCS) is a a great grill, but to me its $4000 rotiserre. I believe that since I can fire up a chimney of lump or charcoal with some chunks of wood in it, in the same anmount of time it takes to prehreat the gas grills, Why not just use the kettle for grilling??? Like I said, propanes is convienent, great when its raining.. but i still like the charcoal and wood better. But In the house of Brethren.. if it gets some smoke on the meat.. It counts!!
