New Weber showed up broken. Gonna have to return and replace. My grilling remains gas based.

blah I’m sorry. My grilling is only propane gas - I am not at a higher level and this is fine. Hope the replacement goes well

I agree that charcoal imparts a more authentic flavor but Hank Hill converted me to propane years ago and I’m too lazy to go back. There was a Weber in the utility room when I bought this house and I put it out at the end of the driveway. It was gone in under an hour.

I just picked up a Weber similar to this. Are you using a dual zone or "bank" setup? I'm going to try my hand at some smoked ribs on Monday but I have literally no experience smoking meat aside from YouTube videos.

Saturday was a dual zone smoke. The brisket from weeks ago was a ring of Charcoal in the form of the letter "U" with the water pan centered with the meat above it.

Last nights leftover pork loin was combined with cubed potatoes and onion to make hash. Broccoletti on the side with leftover acorn squash. We leave for a week on Saturday and I am doing my best to empty the fridge of anything that won’t last.

Apologies - I meant to post this elsewhere.

Smoked whole turkey breast is my Saturday project.
I'll likely inject, go skin on and over pecan or apple. I made the compound butter+ olive oil for under the skin and the wrap already. Temp I'll look for is about 260 for 100 minutes ago wrap for another hour since it is just only 5.2#

Picked up 3 lbs of scallops yesterday along with a whole 5lb cod.

Gonna cook about half the scallops in a pan tonight along with veggies in a dinner for 4. Should be pretty good.

We’ve done kabobs a few times. Served with rice with sautéed leeks.

gorgeous! Do you cook the rice and sautéed leeks together? That sounds quite lovely.

I love my rice cooker so do the rice in there. Then sauté the leeks separately with some olive oil and toss in. If I were doing rice on the stove, then yes I’d sauté them in the same pan and add water and rice to boil. Haven’t tried it that way yet though.

For the kabob veggies, I toss in a little olive oil then use Chicago steak seasoning and smoked paprika from Penzeys.

It’s fun to build the kabobs with family and grill outside by the pool. Easy clean up too!

So nice about the pool. We don’t have a pool or hottub. But I love our grill.

I want to see some pics of your meals. I get inspiration from visuals. I put 1/2 Costco butt rub 1/2 brown sugar on some pork tenderloin last night. Today grilled it (smoker in the fritz...so sad!). Added some pickled red onion (excellent topping for almost anything). Made a plate and we all grazed for about an hour on the patio. It was lovely. Had some reggae going and the kids enjoyed the different format for chow.

Turkey tacos for supper - I made pico de Gallo for the first time as opposed to buying it at the shop. Maybe one day I’ll make guacamole as well. I love this meal so much - I love the plating.
