Best portable BBQ

[Bob Olszewski]

Found this grill in a catalog I get. I buy from and use this catalog when coming up with Christmas/Bithday gift list for myself. Maybe this year I'll find one of these under the tree.

Or, if you wanna spend the big bucks...

While not a grill, you can do a good job using a cast-iron skillet with tall ridges on a burner.

The ridges produce the nice grill sear marks, and the spaces between the ridges allow smoke to circulate. Since you're outdoors - dropping a few herbs (rosemary, etc.) or wood chips in the pan and covering gives you a great flavor.

The flavor must come from the ability to get the burning fat and smoke to penetrated the food.
I have a griddle with ridges that my son bought me for Xmas last year, but it's so heavy I usually leave it home. Maybe, over the winter, I'll give it a try.
He also got me a folding potty. I gave it away as a "last place" prize at one of our gatherings.

I know, "it's the thought that counts."

Eh, $350 is chump change compared to a big green egg. Now those things are expensive. Some people swear by them though.

I'm goin' for the smoker.

It can be used a s a grill or a smoker. The smoked food is really good.

It's a little bulky and big but the food is great.
These things are only about $45 at Lowes.

I still love my Cobb. It is the only one that lets me bake potatoes.
Burnt meat and baked taters are good!!!!!!!!!1

I've just about worn my Brinkmann Smokin' Grill out, in fact... Did a nice slow smoke grilled steak on it tonight, in the rain to boot!

How about a barbecue that could pull a teardrop????

I'm planning on getting one of the small Big Green Eggs.

Not cheap but as long as you don't drop it, you'll never have to replace it!

We have the BBQ Grill Ware Stainless steel unit..Got it at Lowes three seasons ago..Works great..Almost as well as my Weber at home!

Looks like Jag got a nice unit, better price!

I had one of these. It is fine for hot dogs and veggies, but it does not have the BTUs to do a proper steak, IMO.

For Steak, it's almost impossible to use gas, unless you have a big grill with 45,000 BTUs or more.

I have a Weber Smokey Joe charcoal grill that I absolutely love. A little bit of charcoal can produce the high BTU levels you need to get a good char on the outside, while keeping a nice pink inside on a steak.

I didn't really answer the original question, but I hope this helps, anyway.

We used mesquite charcoal this weekend and we will use it from now on.

Thanks,

I use regular charcoal, but throw in a few Pecan chunks. Pecan has a wonderful flavor.

Greg,

I just looked at the site for weight, 101 did surprise me, 70 or 80 seems more like it. Richard and Deborah have been promising us a Custom #3 for about 4 years now, but they have yet to fire up the tile kiln since moving shop to Mexico.

This is our first turkey from 2001, use to be fairly active on the Kamado forum but have gotten away from it in the past few years.

Those ceramic "Egg" grills can generate some serious BTUs from a small amount of coals. Too bad they are so big and heavy.
