I confess, I have never understood the obsession with grilling, smoking, bbqing. I have a weber propane grill that I use regular to cook, just to keep the heat out of the house, but forget, special feature, smokes, sauces, rubs, etc. Just sounds like too much work to me.

I think there is appeal in taking a cheap cut of meat and turning it into something delectable.

It takes a lot of time.

I had an electric smoker back in Cincy, you set it and forgot it, which was kind of boring.  It worked very well though.  It had a thingee for wood chips.

Put T probe in meat, turn it to desired heat seating, and go drink beer for 12 hours.

Are you normally a foodie or cook?

You don't really need all that to make good bbq. I've never tried to smoke something using a gas grill but it's fairly easy on a kettle charcoal.

The key is to have low heat, preferably offset rather than direct, and time.

I mean, you can cook a brisket on a kettle charcoal grill, it's just a lot more work.  And it's still not going to come out the same as an offset.


Like anything, having the right tool for the job makes it much easier and the end results are better.  I can pound a nail into a board with the side of my power drill, it's something I've done before, but a hammer works a hell of a lot better, and the end result is superior.

I dunno about that. Brisket is about the easiest thing on a kettle grill. Especially if you find one that's shaped like the side of the grill.

Man an absolutely perfect evening in Ohio.  Kids are in the pool, I'm having a drinksi and watching the Reds on the back patio.  Warm enough but with a little breeze, feels awesome.

In the 90s here. But that means it's hot enough for A/C so using the oven tonight won't kill us all.

What's your go to sloppy joe recipe?

I had some gnocchi that got shipped to me, so I made sauteed some shallot, garlic, carrot, and prosciutto in olive oil and butter, then put in some cauliflower and white wine and covered until it was cooked.  Finished with some more butter and lemon juice and oregano.  Not bad at all I thought.  Been trying to cook more vegetables, which causes massive complaints among the family but at least if I screw it up they won't eat it anyway.

Yeah... no.

I've "smoked" brisket on a kettle grill.  It's not the same.  Like I said, it can be done.  But it's not going to come out like Central Texas BBQ.

Nah.. but it will be barely distinguishable. That's the thing...all the equipment in the world will maybe get you a 5 percent change in quality. In any event very easy to make very good brisket on a kettle grill. That's the thing about most foods - people argue about steaks, chili, bbq, but you can almost always deliver a very high quality product with minimal investment. It's that last 5 percent people go on about, but most wouldn't be able to tell the difference anyway.
