Sour_Squirrel Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 Winter has just started and I must be getting a bad case of cabin fever already. I was looking out in the yard at my bbq and had a strange thought to myself. Everyone brags about their car/truck, boat, the fish they caught. How about their bbq?? Let's see some grills....!! Here's mine. It's a bit old but still works like new. It's a Weber Summit Platinum D6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muskieman Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) I have 3 grilles in a V shape , I usually use 2 at a time , this past summer I went through more than 450lbs of propane , and I'm still going . If I can figure out my mobile photobucket .. I'll post some pics ... I don't own the best but they work VERY well BTW , that's a nice grille , NG ? or just a longass propane hose ?

manitoubass2 Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 That never hurts , use the old one as a smoker or charcoal grille Oh its only two years old. I just need more cooking space with there being 8 in the house. Ultimately id love to have a huge grill but i think two would work better for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manitoubass2 Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 Oh and this year im building a kicka@$ fire pit. I forgot about that project lol. That will help too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sour_Squirrel Posted January 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 BTW , that's a nice grille , NG ? or just a longass propane hose ? It's natural gas. I would think that if I had the propane model that it would be going through tanks of propane very quick. I have a second Weber that I use for smoking. It's a older Weber Silver C. I recently discovered adding smoke to meats improves the flavour. I'm just using a cast iron smoker box made by Brinkman. The wood chips I buy from Cdn. Tire for about $5-6 a bag. My next purchase will be an offset horizontal smoker. That'll be later this year...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captpierre Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 I have a gas Napoleon and a propane Weber at cottage. Thinking of going back to charcoal for way better flavour. Would I get good results with wood chips ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muskieman Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 ^^^ yes , but buy a smoke cage or make a smoke pouch with foil to practice . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerritt Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 I have a gas Napoleon and a propane Weber at cottage. Thinking of going back to charcoal for way better flavour. Would I get good results with wood chips ? I switched to charcoal a couple of years ago, no way would I switch back to NG or propane. G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Ironmaker Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) I have 3 BBQ's. 1 natural gas that is on the lakeside deck that I have to move in the winter or it will blow away in the wind, the only thing that has stopped it was the hose was still attached. A propane BBQ I am supposed to use in the winter but can't. I went to take the brand new Merry Christmas cover off just Sunday. It has tightened so much since I put it on the only way I will get it off is with a good knife and the 3rd is an old gas unit I laid a metal backing dish (that my wife can not figure out how it disappeared) to in to hold charcoal. Too late Sunday to get the coals going but it is the best really for a real BBQ, gas is really baking not BBQing. Another word that doesn't really exist. edit, I wonder how my wife would feel if I bought her a shower curtain for Christmas?

DanD Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 Here's a few pic's of one of my BBQs. She isn't pretty but she's hooked a whole lot of meat for us over the years. The pork in these pictures went on the spit at 180lbs (dressed weight) and took approx 16 hours to cook; using cherry wood coals made in a burn barrel beside the BBQ. No wonder I don't have much time to fish; I did 2 pig roast last year and I think there's plans for 3 this summer. Dan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Ironmaker Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 Sour Squirrel that's a nice unit you have. You get what you pay for. I know a guy that buys a $199.99 CTC special every other year. BBQ's are like big screens now, they drop in price every year and in quality. They look nice and shinny in the store and last maybe 3 seasons. Lucky if you get enough heat to do burgers and dogs. For that they are OK I guess. Dan that's not a BBQ I'm sorry to tell you. That is a BBQ pit. The boys out here have a community pit we built that is built into trailer we can haul around by truck. We do local shin digs using whole pig, lambs and a good portion of a steer. We did 3 goats on it once. And 45 chickens I think it was. It's a lot of work and we basically charge cost for anyone in the community. Restaurants that call, well that a different story, money can be made. We just have to remember someone has to drive the pit home, sober. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pics Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 I have a 12 or so year old Napoleon, a small webber for camping, one charcoal Bbq and a smoker too... when I replace the napoleon it will be with another but I can't see that happening for a while..it's built to last....

BillM Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 Pre chinese made Vermont Castings VM450SSP(NG). Thing weighs like 200lbs, I LOVE this BBQ!

DanD Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 Dan that's not a BBQ I'm sorry to tell you. That is a BBQ pit. You can call it whatever you like; I built the thing and its a BBQ too me. LOL I also made a grate for it out of expanded metal to set on, when not using the rotisserie. Like you said you can cook a pile of steak, burgers and dogs on it at one time; to feed large groups. Dan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
