Outdoor Grillin :D

[Rico]

Since the topic of grilled steaks came up in another thread, I thought I'd start one on grillin in general, just to see what the fine folks at aff prefer. Keep in mind, this ain't no lib vs con thread so don't go lookin for any fights where no fights exist.


Do you prefer propane, wood, electric, charcoal, or natural gas?

Do you prefer chicken, beef, pork, frog legs, etc?

What tips or advice can you offer?


I prefer my grilling over wood, generally a mix between apple and hickory. It's pretty tough for me to choose between what I like best because there's so much I like. Of course I like steaks. But I also like brats, thin cut pork steaks, leg quarters, and fish wrapped in aluminum foil, ribs, the list goes on. Have any of you ever ate potatoes and onions, made on the grill in aluminum foil? Man, talk about gooooooooooood!

I definitely dislike propane grilling the most. It just seems to get too hot too fast and temp is everything when grilling.

I never really cared for charcoal too much, mainly because of the lighter fluid taste it can add to the meat, but I started using one of those chimneys you can get at Wal-Mart a few years ago that are fluidless, and they make a big difference. New York Strip is good eatin too.

I like charcoal but not briquettes.

I like to grill ribs (pork), burgers, pork chops & good steaks.

I told my marinade recipe in the other thread but I will repeat it here...

1 Part Soy Sauce
3 Parts Pineapple Juice

Marinade for 4 hours to overnight. The pineapple juice tenderizes while the soy flavors. You may want to adjust that mixture to your own taste.

Bolner's Fiesta Fajita Seasoning is great on almost any meat as a sprinkle on seasoning. I get the little bag of the seasoning. The canister just doesn't taste the same to me. Dunno...

The best ribs I have ever eaten were made on my dad's grill by a friend of his. What he does, rather than waiting until the ribs are done to add the bbq sauce, is that he constantly brushes the ribs with the sauce while they are cooking. The flavor of the sauce cooks right into the meat and talk about good! He could make a living just off making those ribs.

Owensboro, KY, about 10 miles from where I live, is supposed to be the BBQ capital of the world. They just had their yearly festival a couple of weekends ago and I didn't go. I am hoping to go next year.

Mmmmmmmm. those sound gooood!! Indiana's not far from here, brother. And there are alot of us who live close enough..............................

Personally, I don't think you can beat GOOD ribs - but I usually like them smoked. Second best is chicken. Cooked black on the outside while still juicy on the inside. I can't make it that way, but I love it when someone does.

I am a member of the HPBA (Hearth, Patio, BBQ, Association) http://www.hpba.org/

Even though I am only involved on the Hearth side, we have a combined trade show that brings in about 15,000 people. I always look forward to going to the outdoor burn area for the free samples from the BBQ manufactures. they showcase their best and bring celebrity chefs with them. Last year someone was doing full sized ostrich on a rotisserie... it was quite a sight and very good!
