The weber kicks ass with some accessories. I smoked the shoulders for 26 hrs using the fireboard, fan, and sealed lid. Slow n sear and rack for ribs, combo of baby back and regular. The vortex is awesome for wings, gets grill raging up to 600* and higher.

What Weber model is that?
Weber Kettle 22” Premium deluxe. Has gas enabled start to light coals, two baskets, easy sweep for cleanup, and hinged grill.

Others tools and toys like fireboard and viper fan were extra. After enough seasoning, the grill easily rotates. I also added a seal to the lid which made a huge difference. I punched a hole in back for electrical grommet for temp probes and plug it with silicon plug temp rated for powder coating when grilling.

From a dead cold grill, I can get coals ready in 15 mins. Careful though, it will absolutely ruin any chance of enjoying restaurant BBQ. Only BBQ i enjoyed eating out was the standard hole in the wall greasy spoon. Those are hard to find and even then it’s usually a draw that just costs more money.

Yea, this was one of my covid hobbies i learned. Had no choice living in KC for 4 years.
 
Thank you very much for the info!
I am a long time Weber kettle fan.
When I used to bobtail and tent camp with the Jeep I used a 14" Weber "Smokey Joe".

I had a metal oil drain pan I used under it when I set it in the back of the Jeep for transport.

Yes! I’m a fan of the smokey joe also, great portable grill. I’ll shut up now and stop derailing the thread.
 
Been snowing here almost everyday for 2 weeks. Haven't done the plowing cuz I thought I'd wait for the storm to pass. :rasta:
Finally quit last night and turned -15f. I had no choice but to do my chores today. Perfect day for a pot of red chili ala Wapiti.

That looks fantastic, but get ready for the "purists" to whine about you adding beans. :flipoff2:

1st wife… 2nd generation Mexican-American. Not a ethnic food bone in her body :shaking:

Current Mrs… German-Irish mix, cooks Mexican like she was born there :homer:

my dad is mexican, his mother taught my white mom, part of the marital agreement is she would have to learn to cook certain food.
  • enchiladias
  • chili verde (from scratch, roasted chilis and all)
  • chicken mole
 
Buttermilk biscuits & butter :homer:

Please explain this “chocolate gravy” :eek:

(raised by Okies, never heard of it)

Per the wife...sugar (few cups), Hershey's unsweetened cocoa powder (few tablespoons), evaporated milk (to desired consistency), pinch of salt, vanilla extract (teaspoon). Mix sugar/cocoa/evap milk/salt and heat until sugar is completely dissolved (smooth, not grainy), add vanilla...smother biscuits.

Adjust ratios to get desired sweetness...some like it blander.

Kinda like a hot, runny, chocolate pudding...but sweeter.

So this is a desert kind of thing ?

There is a sauce that is put over enchiladas that looks similar, but it’s not sweet, probably no good over buttermilk biscuits either 😝

Nope, breakfast for us...breakfast dessert maybe?

Not a mole' sauce.
 
Beef Wellington...relatively easy and so good!

Process and cook your mushrooms finer and longer. You really want a fine duxelle, not chunky mushroom soup.

Don't ruin your meat by cooking so long:flipoff2:

3rdly, it's easier to cut serving size steaks, wrap, cook, serve, then one whole, considering the effort and cost.

4stly, you need to pair it with this wine sauce

Other wise nice! Most guys think a wellington is 4/5 difficulty. It's worth it, and not that difficult once you do it.

Salmon wellington... well....

That statement about not knowing about certain foods because you're "not from" a certain area is becoming less and less true all the time.
It was definitely that way while I was growing up in Wisconsin in the 1950's and 1960's, but I've watched that change over the decades.:cool2:
