I was pleased with them. Wanted something with a smooth bite, so I wsed a rub mix that included apple and paprika. Smoked them over apple pellets, with apple juice in the water pan. Spritzed them heavily with apple juice when wrapping, along with some butter and apple butter. They had just enough tug when eating them, and weren't falling off the bone. Total time over the heat / smoke was about 4 hours.

They must have been good because there wasn't any left when I went snack hunting about 11:30 last night.

-Grilled steak last night.

-Left the grill on to burn off the grates.

-Remembered that I left the grill on at approximately 10:30 AM today. She's nice and clean.

This is not the first time I've done this. Gotta start setting an alarm on my phone to remind me or something. I'm off to Costco to refill the tank.

I've never done that before, but I believe my father in law does...I'm too scared to do that.

It was my intention to just leave it on for a couple of minutes and then go out and turn it off, then clean it later after dinner. Unfortunately I got distracted and forgot. The tank was fairly low, so at least it wasn't an expensive mistake. The other time I did it I was cooking multiple things and had the grill fairly low and just forgot to turn it off when I took the food off. I'm not normally the forgetful type, but when I do forget, it involves gas and fire I guess. Ugh.

I guess almost anyone with gas has left their grill on to burn it off and forgotten it. I certainly have, more than once. Glad to have seen the light again and switched back to charcoal several years ago. I have a nice Weber Genesis that I need to just put new burners in, that will probably last me the rest of my life if I do that. Haven't cooked anything on it in at least 4 or 5 years.

Love the convenience of the gas, but there is just something about that hardwood charcoal that keeps drawing me in....kinda like a hot brunette with an unopened bottle of bourbon with that "come hither" look.

Let's hope if she has that "come hither" look that you have something to "come hither" with.

That sums it up pretty well.

I resemble this remark.

Have done it about four (4) times in about the last five (5) years. Each and every time while watching a State game and drinking liquor. The times that I haven't done it, I still keep wondering if I have and end up checking the grill multiple times throughout the game, forgetting that I've already done it.

Fortunately, I have three (3) tanks that I keep full in reserve (plus you need one for the fish fryer as well). If you use it consistently, even a relatively good stainless grill only lasts three (3) - four (4) years down here on the coast (I don't have money to burn on that Wilmington Grill without the wife decapitating me, but boy... would I sure like to buy one). Last grill I bought was non-stainless and it lasted almost as long as the stainless ones.

Will have four (4) tanks next spring.

Hope I get this right; I am not the tech person to actually ask. Maybe someone else here is, and will assist you, but I'll give it a try. Go to the tab that looks like a tv / computer screen. It will say insert / upload photo. Click that button, then the select file tab. Open you pic you want to use, then hit the post button... (hopefully this works for you.





This is dinner from tonight. Top pic is margherita pizza (mozzarella,fresh minced garlic, fall tomatoes from our garden, and basil from our garden).

Bottom is meats (pepperoni, bacon and pork sausage, with garlic, mozzarella,and parmesan cheeses). Both were on a homemade, garlic dough crust brushed with olive oil and tomato sauce. Prebaked the crusts, then added toppings and finished them off over hardwood charcoal in the vortex.

Hopefully I added the picture correctly.

Here are some thick chops from Acre Station that I grilled tonight. Delicious !

And some fresh tuna steaks that I also grilled.
I cut the tuna in half because neither my wife or daughter want to see any pink tuna. I cut them in half about 2/3 of the way thru when grilling. A blackened seasoning on top. Also delicious !

You're welcome. Great job with the chops and tuna. Both looked very appetizing.

They were delicious. Extra thick cut chops. I have a Holland Grill and love it, but I also want to get a charcoal grill because I know how the taste changes when cooked over charcoal.
Bell Tower Grey
How long do you want to ignore this user?
I've never been a fan of either the Holland or Wilmington style grills. Looked at and researched them when they first became "the next best thing", but formed my own opinion that they were no more than a glorified outdoor oven.

As for charcoal, I've looked (and still am looking) at KJ's, but I'm perfectly happy with my Weber 22" kettle. I can do about anything with that than can be done with most other products, and turn our some pretty good grub.

Got a friend who also spoke highly of the Weber Kettle grill. Two endorsements is good enough for me. Thanks.

I love mine. Third one I've owned. Other than replacing the charcoal and grilling grates, they've all been maintenance free. If I don't buy a KJ, I do plan to get the larger 26" kettle.

Whatever size you get, make sure to get a chimney starter for your charcoal. Beats the hell out of lighter fluid.

Yes to the chimney starter. Worked in a hardware store for many years and we sold them. Customers said they were the only way to start the charcoal. Thanks again.

I used the Kettle for many years, and still do occasionally when trying to hide from the neighbors. I used to also take it and a smaller one to games for tailgating. My brother just bought the 26". Excellent products.

I have also cooked on my neighbor's store brand charcoal grill. The difference in quality, temp control, max temp is tremendous. Weber is a clear winner in it's market.

It arrove just fine. It was an absolute ***** to get it in the house as it came on a pallet. Took it apart as much as I could then had to call in a favor from a neighbor just to get it in. Built part of it and have a friend coming over later to help me get the ceramic bowl into the stand.

Due to weather, probably wont be breaking it in until Sunday
