Backyard BBQ

First try it was too hot, they immediately started turning brown. Tossed that batch, turned off the burners and let it cool to ~300, according to my infrared, and tried again. Perfecto! They took about 30 seconds to cook to a nice fluffy consistency. Just one swipe with a paper towel and the griddle was clean.

Anything that isn’t nailed down! Ya know, I’ve grilled nearly every day for years and it was basic sustenance. Thanks to all the help here, and from a few nice neighbors, I’m making food that’s not only life sustaining, but also delicious. Especially proud of my steaks, I can honestly say they’re as good as any restaurant.

One thing I want to try is a turkey, possibly this upcoming Labor Day. The next house down the lane belongs to a Mexican guy who owns a restaurant and his husband. They’re great guys. He showed me how to properly carve a turkey last thanksgiving (actually really easy) and I’ve been itching to do one on the grill. I’m a bit paranoid of ruining it, since the temperature control on the grill isn’t nearly as precise as the oven. Probably give it a go though, worst that can happen is I blow a few bucks and we’re having hot dogs that night instead. Not to disparage hot dogs, of course.

Sent u a vid. Know it's for a Weber kettle but the accessory on that grid is the secret for temp control when you want to roast on a grill like that
