Grilled Monday evening, did burgers and sweet corn. took the husks off the corn, brushed on olive oil and sprinkled with basil. I also put chili powder on mine. was freaking awesome!

Here's a few grilling tips...

Never have your grill to close to your fence... they seem to catch on fire.

112 octane fuel is great for getting the coals started and gives the grilled items a nice flavor.

Preddy is an expert in starting the grill and cooking on it... just stand back 20 feet when he is lighting it!

My tip...let someone else other than me do the grilling...cause I use the smoke alarm as a timer.

Well, peelz, preddy, and myself have been filling shout w/ grilling pics. making my mouth water.

I've got a couple questions.

so this year I've been grilling at least once a week since summer hit in full swing.

been doing sweet corn a lot. husk it, brush on some olive oil/basil/chili powder.  cook for about 8 mins while turning it. om nom nom.

Ive been grilling lots of brats and chicken, Steak kind of intimidates me while looking at all the cuts. I did a new york strip about 2 weeks ago. What are good types of cuts to grill?


With charcoal. Can you put wood chips over the coals also to give it the smoke? or do you need a special grill for that?

Yeah mano!  Wood chips in the charcoal simulate smoking. The tri-tip I was mentioning, use a small amount of charcoal, and indirect cook it. Might be a big cut of meat for just you and the mrs.... but totally worth it.

A big fat ribeye is pretty good too, kjust can't overdo it, it gets dry easy. same with the tri-tip

I am starting to think about going back to charcoal. THough I love the gas grill!

Man I am starving.

[Krandall]

I like gas because it's an easy quick thing, but The more and more I use charcoal. It tastes so much better.

[rappyfreak]

What kinds of charcoal can you get at the states? Normal wood charcoal or brickets? I usually use the Kinsford match light and once it is really going I put the normal charcoal on top. Charcoal tastes a ton better than the gas grill, I like the encino charcoal.

[Peelz]

charcoal, then some applewood or hickory wood chips in there. FOr flavor.

[Krandall]

I had a bad experience back in the day with the match light stuff, so always use plain ol' kingsford w/ lighter fluid.

I'll have to look into wood chips. That sounds awesome.

[Peelz]

you ever heard of a chimney lighter? put your bricquets in it, some paper under neath it, then pull off the chimney when bricquets are gray. Then you are ready. No lighter fluid. Pretty slick.

[Krandall]

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.
