Finally upgraded to a new gas grill

The steaks came out great for a change.:thumb:

Nice to have a grill that makes me feel like I can cook again.

Enjoy your flare ups.

When are you cooking me dinner?

I think it's been a year since I last used my gas grill. I'm not even sure if it still works.

Not on this puppy.

Enjoy, dude.

Any grill can have flame ups, so don't let that bother you. I prefer gas to charcoal because of immediacy of heat and convenience, and I don't think you sacrifice shit in terms of flavor.

When it comes to grilling a high-quality steak, temp. is the single most important factor. If you cannot seal in the juices, your steak sucks ****ing shit. Period.

Yep, I made steaks the first thing I grilled on this and they came out perfect. Just the right amount of pink. I could never accomplish that with charcoal because it would take so long to do anything on charcoal.

Gas grills suck. Sorry for the opinion. The fun of grilling and smoking stuff is that it takes some effort to do it. I can make a mean steak on a Foreman grill in reality.

Yeah, no you can't because it can't get hot enough. The fun of grilling is that it produces good food.

Grilling and smoking are two totally different things. You want to grill? Get a high-quality gas grill. You want to smoke, get a high-quality smoker.

You can actually throw wood logs into a weber grill and use it as a smoker. If you have a gas grill you have to some bullshit pan with "wood chips". That's not smoking IMO. I'm a charcoal man for life.

There's truth about conversion to a certain extent, but I'd prefer to purchase a Weber Smokey Mountain and keep my Spirit.

No, the fun of grilling is making good food. Doesn't matter how you get there as long as it tastes good and my gas grilling is tons better than my charcoal grilling.

I'm curious at your statement though. You talk about putting effort into your cooking then you mention the Foreman grill? Seriously?:doh!:

Why not just get a big green egg?

It gets much hotter than the gas grill in the op in just a few minutes and smokes better than the Weber bullet.

You also don't ever have to replace it

I bought a Weber because "you can't do it wrong on a Weber" yet I still did. No, I'm done with charcoal.

I have the side grates to hold the charcoal to each side and smoke in the middle. Love my webber.

If the gas grill fits your need then you win. Enjoy your new grill!

That thing is over priced and overrated.

What was your problem with charcoal?

Damn straight!!! I will!!!!! :thumb:

I already have a couple threads out there about this that I am sure you participated in so I am not going to rehash my problems with charcoal in this thread.

something I need not worry about anymore. ;)

Impatience usually does it. Get up early, start the fire up and go mow the yard or something.

I have a weber chimney starter and it literally takes only 8-10 minutes to get the coals red. I don't see how anyone could have problems with charcoal.

Point being, grill with what you prefer to grill with. Some folks like Charcoal. Some folks like gas. Glad you found what makes you happy, Guru.

Hootie mult.

You've obviously never used one.

$700 for a charcoal cooker shaped like an egg? No ****ing way would I pay that.

For the record, I am holding on to my Weber for running out of gas issues and when I am cooking for more than just my family.

If you are good cook, and know the characteristics of the cut of meat you are using, you can turn out incredible food on either a gas or charcoal grill. Anyone that says otherwise simply doesn't know how to cook on one or the other properly.

FTR, I have both. I prefer my gas grill on weeknights after work, but enjoy cooking on the weber kettle as well. I also have a WSM, and use it to smoke all the time. Smoked trout today. Having said that, a weber kettle is a very capable smoker if you know how to use it.

You can also smoke on a gas grill. Simply place wood chips in foil, poke done holes in it, and throw it over the burner.

My thoughts exactly. My WRM only costs $100 at Walmart. I'm not gonna attempt to spend an extra $600-$700 on that shit.

Charcoal all the way.

Most gas grills don't get hot enough for exceptionally well grilled steaks/burgers.

you got herpes bruh?

That's why steaks should be baked on a cast iron skillet.

Fyp

I don't care taste difference is minimal to me. If its a good cooked steak I'll tear it up

Char-Griller makes a knockoff kamado. But it's not ceramic, it's insulated steel. It's about half the price.

Burgers? Propane gets plenty hot.

Ban

The cut of meat, and how you treat it before during, and after grilling are much more important than the mythical "sear to hold in juices".

I wonder how many charcoal vs gas thread there actually are here lol.

Yep. A good cast iron skillet steak will rival a good grilled steak. If you don't agree, you simply don't know how to make it well

My opinion too, but I understand those that like the convenience of a gas grill.

Personally, I use a different grill depending on my mood. In a hurry, I use my Weber spirit gas grill. Have extra time and want a little better flavor, I use my Weber kettle. Spending all day drinking beer and smoking meat, I use my Yoder Smoker.

Enjoy your new grill, Guru.

I could see searing a filet on high heat and then baking it the rest of the way due to the thickness of the cut, but I don't see the need to do that with a rib eye.

A properly baked steak blows away a grilled steak.

I got destroyed for saying gas tastes different to me. You better be careful.

Opinions vary.

Enjoy... There's a whole world of grilling out there, and it's awesome!

Yeah, if people like gas go for it. I think the food tastes superior over coal though. Personal preference.

I hate charcoal grills unless im eating a hot dog. It makes the taste of the meat grimey and its steaks never taste as good. On top of all that, they are a pain in the ass.

I use lump charcoal, and personally I can tell the difference in flavor. I'm not a charcoal snob, but I do have a preference when I have the time.

Same here.


Agreed

Even using a cast iron skillet on a grill is better. The sear makes the steak.

I heard Sous-Vide was top of the line for steak cooking.

Lump charcoal absolutely, positively makes a difference in flavor.

It's one way to get a perfect internal temp. Another is to use the oven in cast iron, another is to use a meat thermometer. Regardless, A shitty piece of meat will be shitty no matter how you cook it though.

I don't believe that the sear is a myth. 810 does a grilling segment with the dude from Smoke 'N' Fire, and he claimed that if you can hold your hand over your grill for more than a couple of seconds without having to pull away because of the heat, your grill is incapable of producing a high-quality steak.

This seems legit to me.

I actually don't mind the cast iron way, but it's a rare for me to coin a steak like that. If it's a bad day outside then the kitchen is where I'll be. Basting a steak in butter is phenomenal.

It can go either way bro. I made some killer filets a few weeks without the temp being real high. Rare and MR. Great stuff. There isn't always just one way.

Whether it's gas or charcoal, the key to excellent results is knowing your grill.

I just don't see how the gas lovers don't have a 100% clear picture from the start. It took me several years to get cooking temps, indirect heat and shit like that down. Charcoal rules. Go **** up some chicken on a gas grill because you are so impatient that a half hour is all you have. I don't even see how it's an argument.

30 minutes is even an exaggeration. If people are impatient because of coals, they really only take 10 minutes to start glowing.

Well, I've had a stainless steel seven burner grill for a decade. It also has a wood chip tray that I use on occasion as well.

I take my time when grilling food, whether it's chicken, dogs, brats, burgers and steaks. I make sure that everything is properly seasoned and prepared before it goes on the grill and the results have always been excellent.

Now, I can't claim that my food is the "best in the world", nor can I claim that it couldn't be improved by cooking on charcoal. But I can claim that it is very, very good and that inside my circle of friends, I'm considered the grill master.

Haha. True, when I was younger I would just burn shit up by feeding fat to the fire.

I always closed the lid and left the top and bottom vents wide ass open. I ****ed off all kinds of money lol.

I always let my charcoal go for a few a hours first and gotten pretty good at guessing the right amount to use. Get a bag of Matchlight and a couple pounds of filets. Magic within 15 minutes when your grill goes up in flames.

All you need is this do-hickey. Fill it to the top and it'll last you hours. Take 10 minutes for the coals to turn read. I can cook ribs for 2 hours and they're still hot as hell.

Grilling for me is so much better now that I've made the switch from match light to regular coals. They seem to burn 10 times longer.

you still should sear the out side (on a grill etc) when using sous vide, but after it is at temperature...i think...

i still dont have my own

That method isn't for me. The way I cook a steak is simple. A couple pinches of Kosher salt and coarse black pepper. My favorite cut is the top sirloin, I like a chewy steak. I put the steak right on the flames to char up. About 3-4 minutes on each side until both sides look nice and charred. Then I cover the BBQ and set my vents 1/4 open. I cook for about 8-10 minutes for medium rare. The steaks are about an inch thick. Costco is pretty consistent with their sizes.

you got destroyed for saying you could taste the gas


you dummy

you can taste the coal smoke

propane has no taste

what sous vide machine do you have?

its ****ing fool proof

:LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL:


holy shit and you claim you can taste propane gas on your food


wow


youre a ****ing winner bro

Might as well get a gas grill bro. ha

It surprises me to see you of all people arguing this point. I use a regular Weber grill to make some damn good stuff,

So, "you dummy"

The reason you're surprised is because you read whet I wrote wrong.

I love charcoal flavor. I have charcoal grills.

Sometimes I don't want that flavor though or I want to use gas.

This other guy tried telling me he can taste gas.

Yes the same guy who likes chewy top sirloin.

If I had to pick one grill it would be gas with a smoker box.

I love charcoal. I just love gas too. And use it more....you can add smoke....if u

want

I can make a mean steak on a gas grill. It's all about getting that searing temp high, and then moving it to a lower temp part of the grill to finish.

Congrats on the new grill, man!

Sucks for you that you cannot properly use a charcoal grill.

Gas grills suck . No they don't. He called me a bad name. No I didn't.
