Alright.... these turned out REALLY good.... even tho I may have over cooked them more than I wanted... all noted for the next cook. Attachment: 20230603_190204.jpg Attachment: 20230603_191312.jpg After eating one.... I realized (I am this many years old today) that the sliced sirloin is actually a PORK T-BONE!!!! Beautiful!!! It was tasty as HELL! Nothing lef t but the bone.... I was bummed that I didn't grab the chops.... but not anymore.... the extra fat inside the cut was so much better than a rim of perimeter fat.... That said - I'm still gonna grab a flat of chops before they are gone. The rest will be cooked accordingly... and it WILL be good! SPG is all that is needed - but I have other seasoning to try. I also threw three Ball Park Angus dogs on there too.... now I won't feel bad about just nuking them for a lunchormunch when needed.

The ribs turned out great! I got a two thumbs up from wifey, so I'm happy. So much smoky goodness, I was almost thinking it was too much using the Oak chips. I have missed using the Weber for smoking, I will be using it more often.

I've had my two Recteq pellet grills (RT-680 and Bullseye) for a while now, and I enjoy them both. But for the last few years, I've had a desire to play with charcoal; something about the taste of meat grilled over those coals, I guess. I had hoped that the Bullseye would scratch that itch with its higher temps, but it really didn't. So, for the first time in my life, I bought a charcoal grill. I went for the Slow 'N Sear Deluxe Kettle, which is basically a Weber Kettle with a bunch of built-in upgrades: https://snsgrills.com/collections/kettl ... ttle-grillThis last week has been fun . . . a couple of steaks, a couple of batches of chicken thighs, and today I did two racks of baby back ribs. I'm still learning how to run this thing, but so far I'm impressed with the food (minus my fuck-ups, of which there have been a few), and I'm having fun.

I think you will find yourself using it a lot. Charcoal is the closest thing to burning just wood, and the flavor you get can't really be beat by a Pellet grill IMHO. Meat+Fire= goodness. Some nice looking ribs right there.

Those Bone in Ribeyes at Costco looked too good to pass up. Couldn’t resist.
Probably needed to rest a couple more minutes.. but I couldn’t help myself. Pics don’t do the size of these justice. Reverse Sear to 125* then flame on!

Those Costco Tomahawks are huge! They need to be cut in half length wise after cooking they are so thick. Yours look amazing.

cmica wrote: steve get rid of that thermometer There are two thermometers there, one to measure grill temp and one for meat temp. I know that with the kettle I need to "chill" a little when it comes to grill temps; it's not like with the pellet grill, where we all freak out if the grill is set to 250 but it's at 256. However, I want to get a feel for how close the dome thermometer is, and it's also nice to be able to monitor the temp remotely so I don't have to walk outside all the time. By the way, it appears that the dome thermometer reads about 80-90 degrees low . . . which I don't like, but I know it's still better than the Weber thermometer! But as long as I know that, I can use it in the future. As for the meat thermometer, I use that one to roughly monitor the meat as it's getting up to temp. Once it gets close, I use the Thermapen to check. And yeah, I know I could learn to be close-ish without the thermometer . . . but I think it's better to use the thermometer and get it right.

Steve gets a nice little 'colorful' star sticker on his man card for using thermometers on chicken... I kinda wish I had a SloNSear coal basket for my kettle --- I think that using the weber coal baskets is what complicates things for me --- they gather the coals too much and don't really provide a big enough area to 'sear' -- and when I do sear, its too much concentrated heat. I'd probably be better off spreading along one side... Yeah - its hard to replace the taste of charcoal.... The offer still stands --- if you or John make it up Bothell way, your welcome to some plum chunks. I have more than I can ever use... Attachment: 20230605_094208.jpg And thats not even all of it...

LOL . . . I'm going to call this Thermometer Pride Month. I overcooked WAY too much chicken in my past life, trying to be 100% sure I wasn't going to kill anyone!

When I do Thighs on the blackstone I always use a thermometer. Chicken is one meat you need to be sure it's done. Thighs can be funny too. 6 pieces side by side and the temps can vary 20 degree's. I temp every piece before pulling to be sure. Hey! I want a sticker too.
