Making some Poor Mans Burnt Ends on the smoker today. Started them at 6 AM, using cheap Chuck Roasts. These are going to be decadent, they should just melt in your mouth. Lots of seasoning, butter, brown sugar and sweet BBQ sauce. 😋

How are you making your marinade?

How are you making your marinade?

1Tbs Honey
6 Tbs Soy Sauce
3 Tbs Sherry (the real stuff not cooking sherry)

Score the steak in a crosshatch across the grain of the meat. Sprinkle with some meat tenderizer and garlic powder on both sides. Take a fork and poke a bunch of holes in it on both sides. Put it in the marinade for 45 min to an hour turning it a couple times.

Awesome, thanks!

I’ve never had sherry. Honestly I thought Fraisure Crane and his brother Niles were the only people who drank it 😝

Would never drink that Sh!t. It is basically the worst of the worst dry white wine you could buy. But for cooking, that is a whole different game.

Little over two pound tri tip on charcoal tonight. Went a bit over temp because the thick side wanted to stay at 115° while the rest was already at 140°, still delicious.

I know the red plate isn’t aesthetically pleasing, it’s my cheapo grill plate that can get trashed/cut on, so try to ignore it!

Can one of you talk me out of buying a blackstone please? I've been looking at them for over a month and keep going back to them.

I’ve been planning on getting one too but the $400+ price tag sucks. I’ve seen a few used on KSL for around $100-$150 though.

Sorry I couldn’t help!

Do they have one that is not griddle only? That is all I have seen so no point imo(unless it is to keep the heat out of house in summer), I like the flame grilled more than smoked or griddle on my burgers/dogs.
My bil has one and loves it though, likes the easy clean up and says the griddle is heated even.

Anyone know of a good open flame natural gas outdoor grill, I have a ng hookup on the back of the house and my old grill.....is well, old.

I have a griddle on a slide outdoor kitchen on my trailer. It's ok, but a pure stove is more versitile to me. It's ok, but I don't love it.

I have a Weber Genesis I bought 12 years ago when we bought our current house with a NG hookup on the patio. I'd certainly look at any of the major grill makers, but the Weber is pretty sweet. Even an older propane grill can be fitted for NG.

My dad put a giant black stone on the houseboat this year. The plan was to replace the grill, but after a week of cooking we decided they each have their merit.

The highlights of the the black stone are:
1- cooking for large groups. We typically have 20-30 mouths for every meal so the giant griddle makes things easy.

2- consistent temperatures. We cooked everything chicken from pancakes in there and never had to worry about uneven heat.

3- easy cleanup. It’s like cleaning a giant cast iron pan, super easy.

Reasons why it won’t replace the grill:
1- the griddle cannot get searing hot temperatures like grill grates. I think this is because the burners are 3” or 4” down from the griddle itself.

2- nothing can replace that char flavor and texture you get off the grill. We cooked carne asada and it didn’t take long for me to move it over to the actual bbq grill.

I've got my propane Weber grill and my Yoder pellet smoker. I certainly have cooking options. I suppose I should get a cast iron griddle or something similar and just cook on my grill or gas range inside my house. Yet I still desire a Blackstone...

 

[UNSTUCK]

Love our blackstone. It’s just a different way to cook. We got the small table top one as we had no need for bigger. We had ribeyes that were easily #1 or 2 that I’ve ever had.

If you don’t expect it to replace either of those two then I say DO IT! It’s definitely better than a griddle on top of a burner because it keeps temperatures so even.

Prawns sauteed in butter on the right, shrooms sauteed in butter on the left!!!!!

Followed up by a dark chocolate sea salt caramel and a Coke chaser

Walmart discounts the Blackstone's around Sept, Oct if you watch I bought the small table top one for 60 percent off last year as did a couple buddies

BBQ Pit Stop finally did their sale this weekend so I jumped on the pellet smoker bandwagon. Sold the chip smoker this weekend also, so it worked out.



Did the season and burn in on it Friday night and Saturday, then did the first cook yesterday. Probably the best tri tip I have done, it was so good! I think this new smoker and I will get along just fine.
