Moving to a Condo; Have to give up my Weber Gas Grill; What Now?
What might you seasoned veteran grillers suggest if you didn't have a gas grill. We're moving to a condo apartment and unfortunately won't be able to use a gas grill. My only option is an electric grill which can't possibly be as good for burgers, steaks, chicken, and ribs as my old Weber. Can any of you make some suggestions as to how to come close to the gas grill taste using an electric one? Also, if I may ask, any suggestions as to what you might be recommend? Thanks in advance.

1. Use a good quality dry rub (I use Emeril's Cajun seasoning. I make my own from the recipe on FoodTV & add some summer savory). This works on almost any type of meat, even fish.
2. Buy wood chips & smoke them in the bbq while grilling if the condo association will let you. There is no fire involved so it should be OK IMHO. The chips come in mesquite, alder, hickory, cherry & many other types, so choose whichever you like. Soak them in water beforehand so they smoke slowy to get the best flavor.
I use a LNG grill & the wood chips really make a difference.

Made "beer can chicken" on my WEBER and it was the best chicken I Have ever cooked/tasted/eaten before. Juicy/moist with the right touch of seasonings....
For all you that do not know what beer can chicken is, here goes:
1 full chicken (or cornish hen)
1 6pack dark beer (for cornish hen, get RedBull can, dump red bull, pour in dark beer 3/4 of the way)
rub the bird with olive oil -- get a good coating
dry rub marinade in a plastic bag with whatever you like for 2-3 hrs
pop open beer can, take a good swig and then set it aside. Pour same dry rub into beer can
Slide chicken butt first over the can and place in in aluminum tray (for easier cleaning) and place it in the middle of grill..
cook until thigh juices run clear....drink 5 other beers or more!!!!
Pull off grill and slowly slide chicken off beer can. Throw the beer can and aluminun foil in recycle bin.
ENJOY !!!

How much beer should we leave in the can before we add the dry rub? Just like one big gulp? Also, what heat should we cook this on med-high? How long does it take for the juices to run clear, 2 hours or so?
Thanks!
