Just finished the great holiday game “is there any propane in this tank?” Now onto “clean that grill”!

Always a good day when there's still propane in the tank! Enjoy the BBQ :-)

I am obsessed with redundancy so I always have a spare tank.

That means you get to play the game where you try to recall getting the spare filled when you swapped it out.

not allowed in my nanny state so I am left to the depradations and underfilling and terrible availability of blue rhino and amerigas, I am at all times so close to ditching propane entirely

If you do, I also have a Big Green Egg and would recommend the knockoff Kamado Joe which is usually being sold at Costco for half the price.

I mean I have a very.... American... number of grills; I am totally tempted by a Kamado to fill the role that propane does, which is "grill that I can cook quick steaks or fish on whenever, especially as a weekday thing" but it seems like it might not be quiiiiite as handy

Are you sure you’re not me? I have a similar number. Propane fills the niche you describe better than any alternative.

I really wish I had teed off my outdoor fire pit natgas line so I could feed a grill from it.

I think I have the grill superfecta though; Weber gas, BGE, blackstone, Traeger
Avatar
that rules. I have weber gas, traeger, weber kettle and, I dunno, I mean, you could fit a kamado right in there

I have the same collection. The Blackstone is the one causing me grief today because it got left exposed under just a cover during a PNW winter (long story) so I have to de-rust and re-season it.

I am suddenly concerned for my grill, which I have not yet uncovered this season. x:

What is this "grilling season" of which you speak? I thought it goes roughly from January 1st to December 31st, even in Antarctica and the North Pole.

I am very pleased that I have found my people On Here: the grilling weirdos. Having spent the afternoon re-seasoning my Blackstone, I’m now using it to make what we at our house call Dog Beefs: the outside edge of the steaks after I’ve cut them from our dry ager. Dogs approve.

Tonight I am making the most American food I’ve ever seen. Found it on TikTok. Grilled cheese hot dogs.

I should have taken a photo but they went immediately into belly. Cook the hot dog. Put cheese in bun on top and below. Put hot dog back on griddle in bun face down.

Mhmm mmhmm yes this is now sacred law, God bless

Thank the government of China. I get all my food ideas from TikTok.

@faineg.bsky.social ‘s dad @smokedaddy.bsky.social is a heavy duty grill guy, I am intimidated by him
Avatar
if I ever get stupid rich I am just gonna make a giant smoker and become a bbq guy
Avatar
You don’t even need to be stupid rich. It’s the ultimate way to make food when you have to do something else all day.
Avatar
no like I mean get real deep in it, just pivot entirely to being a smoked meat guy instead of this tech bullshit

I should warn you though: when I went through barbecue judge training I discovered that Barbecue People are absolutely terrible.
Avatar
Be careful with smoking advice from @legalminimum.bsky.social. He’ll waterboard a brisket for two days before putting it in the smoker. 😉

Have you been watching the BBQ championships from like 2013 on whatever streaming service they are on? I mean it's a lot to take in and live that lifestyle, but there are a lot of people doing it! Good luck!

Based entirely off the Seattle bbq scene: the bar is so low it to be the best in an area
Avatar
the best kind of smoker is a Contraption

I'm not a barbecue guy but I've got six figures in wood shop tools already in the cart
Avatar
just set some of that wood on fire and you’re there

Grill and smoker Dad, but Im here to spread the fun of putting fire, smoke and meat together. I don't judge and want to help you avoid my fuck ups! 🙏
