Wife is out with her work folks. Daughter and son decided to head out with friends. Said F it, and bought two of my favorites.

Steamed kohlrobi in a parsley cheese sauce...and a 24 day aged, 18oz Delmonico on the charcoal Weber.

And my other girls are the real winners.

I just got a masterbuilt eletric smoker and did some ribs this weekend. Salt and pepper over night and smoked 3 hours, then added bbq sauce and some honey, wrap in foil and smoked another 2 hours.

I wasnt falling off the bone tender...what am I doing wrong guys???

Had same problem first time I did ribs with 3 -2-1 think times are too long unwrapped initially. Did you mop the ribs often during initial 3 hours as well as before wrapping?

It shouldnt be falling off the bone, fall of the bone is overdone.

Any of you have a natural gas setup coming from your house to your grill?
I'm building a new house and this is something I'm including that I currently don't have.
If so, have you encountered any issues with it grill: Setup, connections, usage?

My dad has one. The only issue I've ever noticed is that the grill has to stay in the same place all the time. So unless you include some sort of spooling and 100' hose, make sure you know exactly where you want to grill all the time.

Outside of that, it's just a matter of remembering you are using natural gas when you go to get new burners, and they seem relatively easy to find.

Thanks Wade. Now that I think about it... I will have to cut out a hole in the metal enclosure of my current Weber so I won't have to leave the door open all the time. The position of the line is correct.

Whats the advantage of connect to your gas line???

I mean propane is cheap, no maintanence, & I would say its safer than connecting to your gas...imo

As long as you pay the bill for the house, you never run out in the middle of a BBQ. It's probably cheaper in the long run too.

I have never burned myself turning my dad's grill off at the source . . .

[Alfisti]

I do and it's brilliant, never have to worry about running out especially when spit roasting.

Natural gas is actually cheaper than propane. But that's not my concern. I like the fact that I won't run out or have to guess how much is remaining. And having to deal with returning and replacing tanks.

[saeyedoc]

It's all about convenience. Although I wished I had propane when I inadvertently left my burners on high for about two days.

Well imagine this, you grilling your steak when ur about to flip it over the flame goes out. Now you have to uninstall tank, run to Home Depot get it refill or pick up new one. By the time your done its past 1hr with dried up steak ..

Or you have guests over and grilling hamburgers & hotdogs. Your guest are swallowing down the chips n dips. You start up grille and few hamburgers are done and flame goes out lol. Now you gotta race to Home Depot pick up or refill tank. when you get home your guests are now zombies

[RickFLM4]

^ I'd prefer to have a permanent line but always keep a spare tank full of propane on the patio to avoid scenarios like these.

This never happen to me as I always check the gauge...comon are our generation this dump? Just saying

[TXSTYLE]

Say what you will.... As an avid griller, this is going to be very convenient, period. Not having to jack with tanks any further.

I know you guys are gonna say I sold out...but the Weber Bullet was seeing better days. I've had this guy for 11 years now...she was good.




But, like everything, priorities hit and wanted to try a more 'set it and forget it' mode. Starting a couple pork butts at 5:00pm, adding water at midnight, coals at 3:00, water again at 6:00AM - starts to draw on you. So...that being, wife just bought me this bitch.



New to me, obviously. Never even cooked with gas damnit, charcoal and wood only. But I know there's at least better pellets out there than your standard Traegar ones. Going with these first.



Picked up this bad boy to smoke and grill in the elements too.



No worries - not going cold turkey here. While I'll be keeping the WVB, my Weber Performer and 1991 Weber Kettle will remain on staff for day to day use.
