Zep 0 #1 May 6, 2011 So the other day I decided to buy a industrial sized volcanic stone gas run BBQ (60"x45") the thinking behind it was that on week days when we don't have many clients and the workers lunch is cheaper than the weekend menu I'd stop lighting the tradicional wood BBQ and use the gas one. WTF the shit that came off it I would even give to my dogs. I use only prime beef and lamb (which are my own and organically feed) The only way I can see this type of BBQ working is if you smother the meat with some sort of sauce whilst cooking, thus giving the meat an artificial taste. The only thing I can see is that it is a product from hell and the people that use them know F**K ALL about BBQing meat, Gone fishing Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tkhayes 348 #5 May 6, 2011 BBQ's like everything elsae, probably come with instructions - read them. Also like all other cookihn requires practice, timing, thermometers etc. You need to gauge the heat it produces, try various temperatures and cooking times, and writ ethem down. When you hit a winner, i.e. "rib-eye, 6 minutes per side at this heat setting produces perfect Med-Rare", then you write that down and stick with it every time.

TheCaptain 2 #7 May 6, 2011 Gas grills taste horrible in comparision to griling on briquets. If you ever watch any barbequing contest on TV you will never see a gas grill being used also if you will never see anyone using lighter fluid either. I personally do not see why gas grills are so popular.Kirk He's dead Jim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keithbar 1 #8 May 6, 2011 has grill will never be as good as a lump charcoal fire. but they are quick. and imho they are like cast iron cookware. they ain't worth shit till properly seasoned in.i have on occasion been accused of pulling low . My response. Naw I wasn't low I'm just such a big guy I look closer than I really am . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it wasn't for the misspelling I wouldn't have believed you even have a word for flavor. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It really does help, it also will take quite a long time to season the grill. I have seen people clean the grill so it looks like new on the inside, they must have dead tastebuds.

warpedskydiver 0 #21 May 7, 2011 Coconut palm logs are good too. So is the wood of the Macadamia tree. Most fruit or nut trees are good. Goat cooked over the coals of almond branches and the hulls of the nuts was great. We seasoned the meat with olive oil, lemons, oregano, sea salt and cloves of garlic.

masterrig 1 #23 May 7, 2011 Sounds kinda' good. I guess, you need all that to kill the taste of the goat! I've eaten goat (cabrito) cooked over mesquite, of course. Here in Texas, mesquite is so darned plentiful and we're just partial to it. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
