About a week ago I picked up a new grill. The wee little charcoal one I had been using for a while was just not cutting it so I went to Menards and picked up a new Char Griller Pro Deluxe with the add-on side firebox for smoking. Excellent grill! Heavy cast iron cooking grates, adjustable height on the charcoal rack, great damper control and about 800 sq. in. of cooking real estate. Friday night I cooked out for a group at my house and 7 half pound burgers, 2 salmon burgers and about a dozen bratwurst did not even put a decent dent in the cooking capacity and the cast iron grates put nice dark grill marks on the food. I threw an extra half chimneys worth of charcoal in the side firebox for some hickory chips soaked in red wine overnight and received "atta boys" from everyone there.
Hopefully everyone here has knocked the winter dust off their grill already. Any good recipes? What is everyone's preference? Charcoal or gas? I am thinking that this coming weekend I might have to toss a brisket in there to smoke. A good seasoning rub and spray it down with apple juice every 30-45 minutes and you don't even want sauce.
