Show us your BBQ Grill!

I'm thinkin I'll try to do a steak, egg and baked tater camping breakfast tomorrow on the griddle to try it out for egg cooking tomorrow morning.

I really do love how you can take all the parts out so easily for cleaning though. I have the grills, the atomisor plates soaking and the grease tray cleaned.

scrambled eggs

[Lady Di]

Actually I'm doing taylor ham and eggs over medium





One thing I could see would be handy would be if it had a split hood so you could close one half and leave the other half open.

[Lady Di]

but of course that would mean you would have hood lip down the middle too which wouldn't work for full grill grilling.

What is the quality like on this bad boy? Does it pass the "bang" test?

If by "bang" test you mean throwing it around, only time will tell, the legs and shelves are plastic, but that doesn't necessarily mean it won't stand up to abuse, but being as it has only been sitting there in our yard for a couple days now till we get it on the road and see what it can do in 'real life tests' I won't really know.

I should fold it up and see how it is transport and store it.

I'm thinking about making my own grill. I'll post pic's once I start..

thinking of doing it out of a keg or something..

[Cheesemaker]

Glen, I've got the same BBQ!  And I love it.  I'll post up some of my pics later, I've got to get them into photobucket!

Here's my family of BBQ's.

My first grill and its gas.


My next love, the one that introduced me to briquets.


And my newest toy with the fire side smoker box.  Which I love the slow traditional bbq flavor over the others.  But you have to have patience.  But I can grill if I want to just grill with it too!


My first attempt at slow cooking, and it still turned out good!

[fordh8r]

I had that exact grill (like your first one) only mine didn't have the side burner. It wasn't a bad grill at all. I did love that thing. But on to bigger and better things I guess. 

[Cheesemaker]

I still use it, but I have spendt more on replacing the burner, the lava rocks, deflector shield, and the igniter every couple months.  So, I only use it in the dead of winter or for ??  I use it to heat the water for my smoker.

I just purchased one of these 2 weeks ago and I love it a bit pricey but very nice. http://www.traegergrills.com/grills/lil_tex.cfm

heating water   

[Cheesemaker]

Yeah, if you look under the meat in the one picture you will see a large roasting pan.  And if you put water in it, (beer, wine or whatever) it will help with keeping the temperature in the cooking area at a more even temp.  Instead of fighting the fluctuations in cooking temp everytime you add more coals, or wood for smoke.  It also helps to keep the meat moist, by not drying it out!

If I use the side cooker to heat the water, it takes alot of the heat out of the smoker box, and I have to use twice the amount of briquets, and wood to cook my food!  By heating the water on the gas grill, I am able to start cooking alot earlier.

[Lady Di]

Yeah, I had one of those tall smokers and it had a pan for water too.
I never thought about pre-heating it though. Great idea.

[79coyotefrg]

  um ok,  never had that problem,  but i always have fresh cut green hickory  wood  to put on,  i'm guessing thats  not a  option  out yonder

[Lady Di]

If I had a hickory tree I image that would be an option, but I don't, so no, not an option.

I got one like MWM...the Thermos Grill 2 Go...this is a bad ass grill...whoever designed this thing was really thinking...its perfect for home use, camping, wheeling, tailgating.... we even made Smores on it last night.

I am very impressed with it HIGHLY RECOMMENDED...

[Lady Di]

Nice, where did you get it?

[DTB]

I'm really glad you're pleased with it, I thought it was really cool too. I just love that it's got a place for everything, the design is very well thought out. I have got to get a car window flag made to put in the slot in the right side tray. I think that is so cool.
Very versatile and cooks really well to boot.

[Lady Di]

Best thing... I went out to baste my tenderloin, got sauce on my hands... oh man... I could really use a paper towel.. oh my, I have on right here... and a trash bag to toss it in!
I love the amenities of this grill!

[Lady Di]

Of course if it rains my paper towels are going to be a bit soggy if I forget to take them off the grill, which I probably will but it's cool having everything you need right there.

X2....I caught myself walking back in the house to get a paper towel

Then walking out back to throw it away..... its pretty amazing really......


mwm, maybe we could go into business together selling grills?

[Lady Di]

how do you get grills at cost?
I already have a decent ebay rep.

[Lady Di]

and because the paper towels and trash bags are under the shelves they are a bit sheltered from a light rain. GENIUS!

[Tice]

Not my grill but if I were rich this would be AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!
