Is your bbq homemade or bought?

We have a bbq that was made by my father in his factory and gifted lovingly to his bbq loving son-in-law…
my husband too has used it for quite some years now and we have some wonderful food memories with this bbq….

So I can actually never think of buying those swanky bbqs…what about you….what do you have?

Beef Brisket?

2009-06-21T15:03:12-05:00

I’ve never tried to cook beef brisket, but I had it once and it was delicious.

When I had it, it was cooked in an oven, but I’d expect that the ripples of fat would make for an excellent cut of beef to be cooked over an open fire.

Does anyone here cook brisket?

OK Guys, your opinion is needed.

What do you think of the BBQ aprons that have funny little sayings on them? How about the one that says “Kiss the Cook”? Thumbs up or down on the apron thing?

Souvla rools ok!

Everybody knows that the Greeks are the masters of bbq food You DO know that dontcha?

When a Greek talks about a BBQ he is usually visualising at least half a sheep, several chickens and peripherals, and a dozen members of the family.. and ALWAYS cooked on charcoal. No gas here fellas… nope.. no way…

So anybody here been ‘greek style’?

What kind of equipment are you FireCookers using??

Beef Ribs

2009-06-27T08:11:03-05:00

I haven’t had beef ribs nearly as often as I’ve had pork ribs, but I was wondering if anyone here had a special way of cooking them?

I do remember having them once on vacation and they were great.

With pork ribs, I’ve had some of my best results by steaming them before grilling.

Corn on The Cob… In the Husk

2009-06-15T08:37:14-05:00

It’s been a long time, but we used to get corn on the cob, peel back the husks and remove the “silk” strands, put butter on the kernels, tie back the husks in place and cook it on the barbecue.

That was a nice change from boiling or steaming the cobs. Has anybody else done this, or have a variation of this?

Exercise

The older we get the more important it is to incorporate exercise into our daily routine. This is necessary to maintain cardiovascular health and maintain muscle mass.

If you’re over 40, you might want to take it easy at first, then do more repetitions as you become more proficient and build stamina. Warning: It may be too strenuous for some.

Always consult your doctor before starting any exercise program!

SCROLL DOWN…..........

NOW SCROLL UP..

That’s enough for the first day. Great job. You just ease into it.
Now go have a glass of wine.

FYI - Lowe’s is clearing out Weber Performer grills at $198 (22” - regularly $329). Go online and check using the “Check Availability” feature. Just search for “performer” (no quotes) and enter your zip code. Here is the one I found in Boise.
