Still going strong with my Weber kettle. Got me a beer can chicken stand and gonna start doing it that way. Been pretty bad by going to Costco or Kroger and getting their roasted chicken for $5. Makes two or more meals for my wife and I.
Also, gotta try ribs. I know it can be done, just gotta figure out how to regulate it down to 225 and cook and add coals at the proper time

Re: BBQ Grills and more specifically, Kamados
Great thread! Thanks to all for the input.
Always interested to learn new ways to BBQ.
I have a standard Weber kettle and it does OK for our seven member family. I haven't done anything long cooking on it though and have always wondered about other methods - for Summer and all. One day I'll step up, probably when the wife and I are empty-nesters.

We have always had gas - and currently own a Weber Genesis with a direct line to our natural gas hookup from our home. Very economical, and much cleaner than a grill. Our oldest son does wondrous things with charcoal - smoking, slow cooking, the lot. We are fans of heavy-duty marinating and get good flavour with slow cooking on the natural gas that way.
I must admit every once and a while I have this hankering for a charcoal grill --- then I watch my son cleaning and tending to his and I think --- "Naw".

Re: BBQ Grills and more specifically, Kamados
Couldn’t agree with you more. I too have a Weber Genesis and occasionally get a hankering for a charcoal grill, but that soon passes. A friend of mine has a Green Egg, but after watching him grill on it I’m not convinced that it’s worth the price or the effort. It’s somewhat the same as wet shaving: some people like cartridge razors (gas grill), some people prefer DE/SE (charcoal grill) and a few people go for straight razors (Green Egg grills). As for me, I’m a cartridge razor and gas grill man all the way; both get the job done to my complete satisfaction with little fuss or ceremony.jww wrote: ↑Wed Jun 27, 2018 8:22 am We have always had gas - and currently own a Weber Genesis with a direct line to our natural gas hookup from our home.

Re: BBQ Grills and more specifically, Kamados
So Bryan -- what does a natural gas grill and a DE and SE razor tell you about me?????
Re: BBQ Grills and more specifically, Kamados
Hmmm, let’s see now...having your cake and eating it too? The possibilities are limitless.

I highly recommend a Kamado style grill. I have both a Big Green Egg and a Kamado Joe and use them for everything from smoking to searing to baking.
In regards to meat thermometers, I recommend both an insta-read thermopen as well as a chef's alarm thermometer. With the chef alarm, you set your desired internal temperature. You will receive an alert when you hit it.
