Official 2020 BBQ, Smoking, Grilling, Baking and Beer thread

Whenever my wife buys something new, I always check what’s in it. She always..... “forgets”..... that I can’t have certain things.

Hmm - bet she doesn't "forget" to be sure your life insurance is paid up.

Gotta get inside the female psyche for this one...... it had a pretty label with an artistic fish designed specifically to attract all the wives that were beer shopping. If it was designed for us, it would be the generic bottle that said ‘BEER’.

Right! God forbid she comes home with a cool car or a hot chick on the bottle!
I told her, why didn’t you just buy the beer called fruity Mcfruity fruits.

Good dinner! I love this recipe. Flank steak rocks.

Anyone get rid of their gas grill and switch to a pellet grill exclusively? I am looking at getting a Memphis pellet grill, but I dont want to have a gas grill and a pellet grill taking up all the space on my deck.

I have not.
However, I have considered it many times. I have had Weber gas grills for almost 30 years. Love the convince of gas. 2 years ago I bought a pit boss pellet smoker/ grill. This one has a door that you can slide open for direct grilling. It does get pretty hot. I do not know if other pellet grills have this similar feature.
I am actually selling my old offset stick burner smoker now. I haven’t used it or needed it after the pot boss.
Hope this helps

Never, ever, chastise a woman that brings beer home to you.

Yeah, she only tried to kill him just this once. Everybody gets a mulligan now and again.

Ok lots of drinking going on here. What about cooking.
I made corn pico this morning for fish tacos and flank steak tacos tonight. We brought home a pile of fish yesterday again and my freezer is jammed already with fish. Like I said somewhere else. If covid did anything to me is that my fishing game was never better. Lol

I’m smoking some wings again. Added the cornstarch dog to see if I can up the crispy game. I’m also experimenting with 4 bone in skin on thighs but smoked differently.

I have a gas grill and a Traeger on my deck, and neither are going anywhere.

We sous vide frequently (especially London broils) but we do like a seared outside. Having to bring the Traeger up to temp just to sear kind of defeats the "ready whenever you are" aspect of sous vide. Yeah, a skillet on the stove works, and a George Foreman grill works, but I have my gas grill already.

I gave my son the Masterbuilt Smoker and got the Rec Tec RT-340 Pellet smoker (could not pass on this). The Masterbuilt worked great all these years however I could not smoke a whole brisket, would have to cut it in half. Boys with their toys

Hey Kato, looking good I was given a sous vide and only used it a couple of times. You will have to give me some recipies

My bad. I drank a bit too much and went fishing at 400 yesterday morning.
Ok the wings. Still not crispy with the corn starch technique. So next time it’s to the grill to sear and finish.
The thighs were good. Yes the skin wasn’t crispy but with how the recipe makes u cool them there is no way it would be. They were really really good though!

when u enter competition skin on chicken thighs do u have crispy skin cause this is suppose to be a comparison recipe and no way u will get a crisp on the skin?

Lol that meme is pretty funny. I’m mad at Disney right now. I have a Jan trip booked but can’t buy new season passes so I can’t book park days on Monday!!!!!!!!!!! I still think it’s stupid to allow people all the way out to sept 2021 to book park days on Monday alone.

sorry that was off topic. I swear there is somewhere in the board rooms that Disney talk is the only exception cause it’s Disney. Lol

We are also mad at Disney as we had planned to go there in May. We booked rooms for July for DW birthday hoping that they would be open
