Best Friday Night Dinner

[over the mountain]

man a broil on those coals? thats asking for trouble. i didnt know about them either and figured id give it a go. im a kingsford man.

i would have seared it, done some in-direct heat cooking with maybe a tin pan on the bottom next to the coals with some beer or water/vinegar mix. but, until you cook with them coals, you dont know what your dealing with.

funny, i had to close the vents to try and slow down the heat/fire too which i didnt mind b/c i had hickory chips in there. but i was cooking 2 filets, etc, not a freakin broil!

and charcoal starters? man that stuff is for single moms.

you should try those natural charcoal chunks i grilled with last weekend. ALOT OF FUN if you like playing with the grill like me. they have some french writing on them so that kinda sucks right there. takes a good 30 mins or more to get it going, needs constant supervision but burns like a champ and you can always add more as your going so you can bbq all day, not just a one time window like with briquets.

those competition briquets are for straight steak cooking. burns hot and hard so you get a great sear to it, grill marks.
