I grill year round. Had kabobs the other day in the teens and bbq chicken just a few nights ago in snow flurries. Who says grilling is for summer only?

grilling in the dead of winter is great. love braving the elements to grill your dinner. i had a thread about it a few years back. unfortunately my grill is on the fritz and i have not been able to use it since the fall. gonna upgrade when the warm weather comes around.

and 81, that sounds like the most exciting steak i've ever heard of.

how does a grill go the frtiz? all you do is lift the lid and add charcoal :P

it was a good steak. the last few bites were absolutly melt in your mouth perfection.

We got a Weber Green Performer Grill as a wedding gift. It has been sitting unassembled in a box since October, but it sounds as if it is time to assemble this baby and get grilling!

I have to agree with both schools of thought on this. I grew up with the Weber charcoal and it is tough to beat, especially with a bit of experience on it: I like fuckin around with the heat zones and you can get a hot ass fire for some serious searing. I think it does better with wood chips too and really gives a better smoky flavor if you use them at all. I use the charcoal for weekend grilling since I tend to have more time for it.

As for gas grills, since I live in Seattle, it's easier most times to not have to deal with the charcoal... especially for mid week grilling after work.

That said, I decided to keep both around. I also made a homemade smoker (google Alton Brown homemade smoker) out of terra cotta pottery which, believe it or not, works fucking awesome. Not sure if you have heard of it before but it's super cheap, easier, and makes great smoked food recipes. I have made smoked salmon, brisket, pulled pork, almonds, and smoked gouda so far, all of which were killer.

i agree, gas is good for quick week day grilling.

If it was easier to find the lump charchoal here, we'd use it....too many damn rookies and their gas grills around here....
