OT: Anything Goes 39

Not really. If you're flipping your steak more than once then you're probably doing something wrong. Cooked wagyu a bunch of times over the last year on my Weber 2-burner and it's basically just med-high heat for 7-8 minutes on each side (depending on the size and desired temp).

Cooking steak in a bag sounds a little gross though

Not talking about gas grills.

Grilling talk is as good of a reason to make it a new topic, so spinned this over from here:

OT: - Anything Goes 38

And charcoal is clearly better, but it's hard to downplay the convenience of propane. Still nursing an eye injury that precludes me from being near smoke, but I'm going to eye patch it up in the spring ad I've been pushing off grilling for way too long.

What you guys use as a grill/smoker these days?

Need to buy a new one. Kind of want an egg, but I get 40% off if I buy directly from Traeger so that’s a little tempting.

Propane not even worth a consideration.

I have an egg but still use my Weber kettle from time to time. Wife got me a Blackstone for Christmas, definitely worth for different things

Weber 22" Kettle and I have an MES 40 for smoking. Yeah, yeah. Electric smokers are cheating. I couldn't care less. I don't have the time to babysit a smoker for 20 hours when I smoke a big brisket. Hell, I've had them take almost 24 hours.

I set the temp and pop my A-MAZE-EN AMNPS in there full of wood pellets, and go about my business. I started smoking on my Weber, upgraded to an actual charcoal smoker, and now use the electric. I would never go back to babysitting a charcoal smoker. I just don't have the time. I can start a brisket at 6-7 PM, go to hockey, sleep, work, go to more hockey, and then come back to a finished brisket. There's no replacing that convenience.

Enjoy watching your meat for 12+ hours

I have 2 charcoal Weber grills, a gas propane grill and will be getting a smoker this summer for the lake house. Looking forward to that.

Steaks don't take 12+ hours to cook.

Lol. All I said was that we weren't talking about gas grills, because we weren't. I own a Weber gas grill, and use it pretty regularly for different stuff.

And yes, like my bro said, steaks don't take 12 hours to cook.

You wanna eat that brisket or pulled pork, right? You like that kind of BBQ? Someone has to watch all that meat for 8+ hours. Don't hate.

They do if you like them WELL DONE AS f*** (the way they’re supposed to be cooked)

 

[CourtneyDagger50]

I want to learn how to grill. I think I'm gonna make my dad teach me this summer.

With ketchup.

For the first time in over three months, I actually could smell something pleasant for a handful of seconds.

Baby steps for my smell/taste recovery.

I still only smell mostly unpleasant stuff.
Occasionally I get a whiff of my mom's cooking.

Grilled some burgers, on charcoal, last night now that I can access my grill again. Missed it for the last month.

Burgers on charcoal are so damn good.

Burgers and brats, my friend. The first grilled brat of the season is always the best.

 

[ChiHawks10]

Just put together a new 22 inch WSM and fired her up nice and hot for a test run. Can't wait to use it. Now I need to thaw a pork shoulder. The family is complete.

I prefer both grilled Polish, and grilled Italian to brats. Ainec.

I probably should have just said sausages in general but brats are at the top of my list on the grill.

Hey, to each his own. For whatever reason, I've never been a big fan. I'll eat them. I think they're solid. I just prefer the flavors of hot Italian and Polish sausage. Brats are my 3rd, and maybe even 4th behind a good all beef hot dog.

Went with the 22" WSM @RayP

Embarrassing to admit as a 31-year old but I didn’t realize how much you actually end up paying when financing a car. Wife and I bought a used car last week or so.

The car cost around $21.5k. With financing and only making the minimum payments we’re going to end up paying an extra $8.5K. WOW. Definitely know where our stimulus checks and tax returns are going this year...

Bad credit?

What kind of rate did you get? I would think on a moderately priced use car like that and decent credit you could have gotten A LOT better of a rate than you did.

702. Not proud of it. I raised it up from 640 though when the pandemic started. I’m more shocked about how dumb it is to only make the minimum payments tbh.
