Grillin Time

[CCR]

Been thinking about getting a new charcoal grill before the busy season hits (when the A/C gets turned on). Got your standard dometop Weber right now but the coals are about a mile away form the food so you either cook it longer or burn up the charcoal. Just wondered what everybody else likes.

I had a Weber that I built into my BBQ Island. They work well but don't allow for slow cooking as easier as others. After a couple of lucky trades I now have a Big Green Egg. http://www.biggreenegg.com/

Oh yeah ! A buddy from work bought one of those when the hardware store started selling them around here, bit spendy for my needs but I will admit I'm jealous

I went through several charcoal grills before I found the Char-Griller Pro sold at Lowes. I am satisfied with it. Good value for the investment. uh-oh is this the start of the ratrod grill off ?

Might wanna cut the grass too

A bit different than just grilling , oak pit bbq's are built out of steel and can range from a small 2x3 ft to a sometimes 5x8 ftx 3 ft deep pit with a grill that you can raise and lower to adjust the heat , here in Ca. its pretty common to see them on road side eatery's or back yard functions , people here cook with Oak, Almond wood and also some fruit wood varieties , very very tasty !! mmmmm good

Do you want a Grill or a Smoker?

If you want a grill, I suggest that you find one made with at least 1/4 inch steel. Pricey, but last a lifetime, and you can control the heat with thick metal. I have an early model of an Oklahoma Joe's horizontal smoker which I use for my grilling.

For smoking, you can hardly beat a UDS. I built mine. I smoked a turkey on it for Easter. Here's my blog with step-by-step build.
