The 39th TPBM Perfect Timing - Summer's Here, Let's Chat Thread

I'm a fan of those charcoal chimneys. Been using them for years. No more chemical residue for me. Use to burn them up in a season until I found the stainless steel ones. Those last forever.

So Dan is at the chinese place picking up dinner. I just got a photo text of the underside of a catfish saying "this fish sucks". Sometimes I feel like I did when I first met him and looked "askance" at his weirdness.

update:
Head is stuffed. coughing. Feel cruddy. (no more barfing though so that's good) Have rendezvoused with Nettie 2x already today.

TERRI! MORE PURPLE AIR!

I hope that her meds will work well. What did they put her on?

we use gas because it's fast. But I prefer food cooked over wood embers. Thing is, it's not something that is really an option that I know of. Just something we used to do when we were camping (when I was a child).

Yes you use a little bit of paper in the bottom. It then doesn't taste like lighter fluid and is cleaner. It also gets the coal ready faster. You dump the coals in I dunno, 15 minutes or so.

Finally found lump charcoal, trying it tonight for our venison steaks and baby carrots. And Zane, I finally got a starter chimney been using it for a few weeks. Won't go back to lighter fluid again.

Definitely the way to go with charcoal.

As much as purists will say otherwise, grilling with gas is not so bad. If you want smoke flavour, I just use a smoke box. I do this a lot less now that I have a smoker though. I grill over the coals of a fire all the time. Last Saturday, it was pork tenderloin on a stick. It was very yummy.

Well, off to buy some clothes. It has been a couple years now, and I need a couple things.
