My little Weber is hidden behind it, actually smoked a brisket in the Weber charcoal grill yesterday, came out far better than I expected.

On to bigger things, though. The new Pit Boss is 1100 square inches of cooking space. My first experience with a wood pellet grill, opted for this over the most expensive grills to see what it’s like smoking/grilling with wood pellets.

Doing initial burn off now, loading up the grill with bacon shortly to season it. Probably doesn’t need to be seasoned, but good excuse to cook 3lbs of bacon at once.

Got some chicken legs, corn, and preparing some jalapeño poppers for later this evening.

best of luck with the new house and grill
 
1lb of bacon. Put it in a pan after done and brought it inside. Thought I would have some to eat on the way to the truck this morning.

Nope, it was all eaten by the end of Supper. I got two pieces, only because I ate them immediately after removing them from the grill.

Chicken Legs and corn for supper. Came out very good. Also cooked some chicken tenders for everyone to eat during the week.

Still using the old Weber, but looking real hard at the pellet grills.

The weber works great. I had only grilled on it though until I decided to try the brisket. Set up the charcoal using what everyone is calling the "snake method".


Mine maintained between 200-250 without much effort at all until I removed the brisket and wrapped it. While the grill was open, the coals got a little more air, and after putting the brisket back on I had to close the top and bottom vents some to pull the temp back on. The charcoal lasts around 12 hours set up like this.

Nice! 👍 I didn't know you could use a grill like that as a smoker too.

I knew you’d be along to school @Mike eventually
 
Only if you like your steak extra well done.

Thats what the Stop Watch is for..

I pull mine early ...like a little blood dripping out

Everybody else is "Propogandized" that means WELL DONE..

Nontheless doesnt mean I cant pay "Attention" Baste and rotate...

Usually mines cold by then ...though at that point and time I slammed afew "Drink" and STARVING

Hot coals/grill for for medium rare and rare. Low and slow is well.
 
Steaks go right on top of the Weber grill, with plenty heat. On and off in 7-10 minutes. Another 3-4 for the wife’s because she don’t want it too pink in the middle.
