You know all those nice and shiny all stainless steel ones in all the stores ? the ones that glint prettily in the stores lighting begging you to take a closer look, and asking you to take it home. ?
They can be a real pain to keep clean and shiny, better off with a painted one.
If you want fantastic smoked chicken, ribs and roast beef, nothing beats a big green egg. Great for sausages and burgers too. If you have a lot f people at your BBQ, pan fry the burgers and put them in the big green egg to smoke or keep warm. Nothing beats a big green egg, it is slow and you have to know how to use it. I slow cooked a turkey for 8 hours, I will never use an electric oven again.
Good stuff...I knew I could count on you folks for sometimes contradictory...but always useful advice.
Thank you...I have a good ol'charcoal burner....and do like to use it when I can be more leisurely in cooking. However, want gas for convenience....so, the quality of a Weber is begining to tug at me...now just have to decide on the grill...stainless steel or coated cast iron...lots of people on both sides of this equation. My father had a charcoal burner and a stainless steel grill that I am still using today; good history to follow.
Thanks everyone...good cooking this summer!
