Top 10 Steak Grilling Tips

[Peelz]

I didn't know you lit it w/ paper. I thought it was just a quicker way to get teh coals started.

Anyone have some good tips for lighting charcoal?

I've found that dumping the charcoal onto the grill and then stacking it up pyramid style works very well.

that's how I do it. But thew chimney thing uses no lighter fluid. THe heat of the flame pruduces a vent to keep air flowing through, and it heats up quick. Never saw one work before last week

Alrighty, I did my first shrimp a few days ago on the grill. Are there any tips for that? I deveined and shelled the shrimp, seemed to go good. I just threw them on, brushed on a little olive oil/parsley/chili powder mix. only thing I'd change is skewer them. But.

I have a good tip for the shrimp: Use the same Olive oil, parsley and chili powder mix (you can also add some crushed sundried tomatoes to this mix). Then cut the shrimp in half longitudinally (butterfly cut shrimp), cutting from the side they have their legs on. You do this even with the head and do not deshell them. Once this is done you put the mix on the meat part of the shrimp and just grill them like that. I usually dont even turn them, just let them cook in their juices with the grill cover on so they cook thoroughly.

Hoping to give this a try tomorrow.



Got some habanero n the garden. 9 on 1 plant. Can't wait to cut one up.

Take that or even a jalapeno cut it up into TINY pieces. like.. maybe a bit bigger than 1/8" square. It take a while, but well worth it. then mix it in w/ your hamburger and toss it on the grill. I've even cut up cheese into tiny squares and mixed it in. You get some run off. But most stays in the burger. It's delicious!

All this steak talk is making me hungry again

Here's my Brisket I did for the 4th. Start off by making a package of bacon, take the greese and rub down the brisket with the bacon greese. I used my step dads AMAZING BBQ rub and put it in the fridge over night. 6 hours in the smoker at 220ish over a bin of beer and applejuice. I sprayed it with beer/apple juice ever 45 minutes. Wrap with foil twice and put in oven for 4 hours at 200*. I had some buddys over that night and everyone thought it was the best brisket they'd ever had!


Couple of months ago I did some pork butts in almost the same manner. Rub down with step dads seasoning, set in fridge over night and smoke for 14 hours at 225*. Spray with beer/apple juice every hour. It litterly takes a twist of the fork to pull it apart

Hour 4 in the smoker:


When all done. Note the smoke ring.

If anyone want some REALLY REALLY good seasoning let me know. My Step dad has his own BBQ restaurant and makes his own seasonings. He's won countless local BBQ cookoffs with the same seasoning. I've tried alot of different rubs and did a blindfold taste test and every time this wins HANDS DOWN! He has a tucson chicken, a BBQ rub, and a steak rub. He sells the hell out of them at the restaurant at 6 bucks a pop. Surely I could get them cheaper.

You can adjust the opening on the top and the bottom of the smoker to control the airflow. Its litterly set it and forget it.

Getting ready for tomorrow.

right now its got chopped up onion, jalapeno peppers, and lime inside the chickens. I'm thinking about 400* for two hours with cherry wood.

[preddy08]

Started off with this in a white wine sauce.




And the chicken when all done. 160 in the brest and 180 in the thigh.

I like Shrimp rapped in bacon, stuffed with cream cheese and jalapenos. Simple as it sounds. Clean, peal, and devein shrimp. Place on half slice of medium to thick cut bacon. Add 1/2 pickled or fresh jalapeno and small slice of cream cheese. Wrap bacon and stick with tooth pick. Sprinklie with favorite seaoning. Cook till bacon is done.

Normally only half of them make it from the pit to the house.
