Title: Grillin'
Post by: bojanglesman on March 28, 2020, 03:59:24 PM
Cleaned up my Dad's old gas grill today.  First time firing it up since he passed.  A bit sad and happy.  No matter how much I power washed, scraped and cleaned it, it still smells like someone just cooked on it when I heated it up, which is awesome. Guess I'm getting a good whiff of Dad's cooking. He was a cook in the army, so he couldn't scale down a recipe to save his life.  Mom said he still cooked grits for 900 when it was just them.

Anyway, gonna cook some burgers, dogs, maybe some veggies. I'm no chef, but I have a good gas grill, might as well learn.  At least my kids can learn what not to do from their old man.

Yeah, Mom passed 7 weeks after him, so he didn't get much of a break up there.  Pretty sure I heard him cuss. Haha.

Nice. I grilled ribs yesterday, but first I stripped the grill down and gave it a good clean. The base is starting to rust out and the shield over the drip tray has disintegrated completely, so it's time for a new one. Given I'm not spending any money on gigs or sport or travel or pubs, figure I'm going to buy myself a fancy one.

Go crazy with a new grill.  Get some excrement you need a truck to move.  Naaa, kidding.  I think I cooked this fish a bit hot and fast.  I'll cook it a bit lower next time.  I'm still figuring it all out.  Amateur.

I’d recommend chopping off an inch or two from the base of the asparagus as well. They’re usually fibrous and bitter tasting

Propane is easy enough to change out.  Yeah, I lose a little cap space, but it's minimal.

I still have a tough time balancing cooking things well enough vs. burning the outside. Still figuring this grill out.  Seems to be hard to get the heat down lower without the flame going out.  I guess I'm supposed to sear things first and then turn it down. I'll burn some excrement a few times and eventually get it right.  No Bo cooking at the tailgate yet.

You’ll want to setup a two zone grill. One side would be high heat and the other side low (if space allows)

All grills are different so most of this will come with trial and error: basically figuring out your burners, keeping grill and ignition source clean, avoiding flare ups, etc. On a grill over the same burner you can have a difference of a couple hundred degrees in a span of 12 inches just due to the burner spitting out a stronger/weaker flame or different oxygen flow from the vents.

Going back to the two-zone thing I said, there are two trains of thought but the general concept is the same. You can go low and slow to bring the proteins/veg to temp and then hit it on high heat (smear with oil or butter if needed to char) until seared to your liking. This method is called reverse sear. For example if I’m cooking a ribeye to medium doneness (let’s say 145F) I’ll go on low heat or wood smoke (300 to 350F) until internal temp registers 135F then finish on as high flame/heat as I can get it to sear it to my liking. That 3-4 minutes or so sear will register another 5 to 10 degrees and get you to desired temp.

The opposite method would be to start your proteins on high heat to develop a nice crust and then once satisfied with how it looks, you would move it to a colder zone on your grill until it reaches temp. Both methods work well, mostly personal preference.

I would suggest a ThermoPop or comparable accurate thermometer. It’ll pay for itself by saving you from under/overcooking an expensive meal.

I’d suggest googling two-zone grilling on YouTube and some basic maintenance for a propane grill. From there it’s just practice really. Always remember, your worst bbq is basically as good as your chili recipe

I'll try the two zone thing.  Grill has 2 burners, so easy enough.  Makes sense.

Got some big deer steaks from a friend who hunts.  Almost like roasts.  Marinated them in italian dressing overnight.  Trying the reverse sear thing since these things are thick.  Probably should have done that in the oven, but oh well.  Keeping the grill between 250 and 300 until its getting near final temp and then I'll sear it at the end unless its already looking done.  Hopefully it isn't too dry.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200510/0a1365dce401793fccac43896c9d8fd5.jpg)

Maybe I can trade some for maple whisky.

Yeah they were good.  Not dry.  Should've marinated them a little longer, but still good. I've got another 3 frozen, maybe I can bring them to the tailgate this year for someone to grill up.  Have some deer burger too, that's a bit harder to figure out. I made some spaghetti sauce with it, it was fair. Maybe that's just OK for burgers.  Or we can throw it at Puck if it isn't good.

Trying my hand at making smoked chicken wings in my new smoker/grill. 

Split the wings into 2 batches because I wanted to try 2 different dry rubs

30 mins at 200 degrees, using hickory for the smoke

15 mins at 330 degrees

Flip wings

Then another 15 mins at 330

Profit

There are two things you need to know about OLD BAY® Seasoning: 1. It’s great on seafood. 2. It’s great on everything else!

It's OK but it's a bit bland, it's pretty similar to Montreal steak seasoning. I don't understand why people buy spice blends when it's literally the easiest thing you'll ever make in the kitchen.

Level 2: tell people in Montreal that their bagels are overcooked spindly cardboard garbage. For some reason Montreal bagels have this reputation of being something special and they're really not.

Considering getting a smoker.  Any ideas on a what to get?  My buddy has a Pit Boss pellet grill, electric.  Not too pricey, excrement tastes good on it.  I have no idea about smoking but willing to learn.  I don't want a piece of excrement but I'm not looking to drop a grand on it or anything.

Really I just want a reason to drink all day and look like I'm busy doing something.

BTW, smoked pork butt:  gaddamn it's good.

I have a masterbuilt 1050 charcoal smoker. Easier to maintain and you don't have to worry about pellets getting jammed in the apparatus.

And you can control the temperature from the phone app.

The app beeps at you to remind you to get more beer and produces fake alerts to make it sound like there is something important going wrong that you need to attend to with the smoker so you can get out of whatever it is your wife is talking to you about or trying to get you to do.

"Sorry Baby, I'd love to hear about the lady you think is a bitch at work, but there is a critical pellet humidity alert that could take down this whole flank if I don't go do something ASAP."

Yes but also no. Smoking isn't about cooking food, it's about introducing flavour. You need to figure out the right type of wood and the right amount of smoke to complement whatever it is you're smoking, and it's very easy to get either or both wrong.

Grilling is just cooking food over a flame rather than having a pan in between the meat and the heat. It's nothing like as difficult to do well.

Planning on smoking a few racks of baby back ribs on Saturday...using cherrywood. Weather permitting.

Turns out the weather is perfect today. Sunny and 23 degrees.

Firing up the smoker in about 90 mins.  Using natural lump charcoal w/ chunks of hickory.

3 racks of baby backs
rubbed with a honey chipotle rub
spritzed with Dr.Pepper every 40 mins
then sauced with Maple Bourbon on 1 rack, another with an Asian sticky glaze, and one with a Carolina tangy bbq sauce....during the last hour.

time: 6 hour cook

So sorry. We're "dog people" in my house (wife allergic to cats) but have experienced similar sorrow over the years. I've mourned my most recent dog's passing more than my own grandparents.

As a kid, though, my family had cats. My cat Rusty would sleep on my bed every night and was the pet we had the longest.
20+ is fantastic; Jaguar had an awesome, long life!
